Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Going declarative on macOS with Nix and Nix-Darwin
Here’s Mitchell Hashimoto (founder of HashiCorp) setup config.

Does it make sense to deep dive into NixOs without proper knowledge of nix itself?
In my case, I started by installing the NixOS using the Gnome Installer on VmWare fusion, and then modified it using the example config from mitchellh as a guide. Actually entering the configuration yourself definitely helps with learning.

Question about managing development environments in NixOS
I have a NixOS dev environment in a VM which I built based on https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config. Similar to that setup, I use Flakes for my main configuration, and use home-manager to install + configure dev tools that I want available across multiple projects
-
Is it possible to use nix like pacstrap?
Yes, maybe not as easily. Check my setup https://github.com/kohlerm/nixos-config which I forked from https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config a while ago

new job gave me a brand new mac
Hi, if u can not get a linux pc - then have a look on the following thing (nixos). https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config

Anyone using a linux vm on mac for doing development? What are your thought on this?
I'm developing mostly using console applications like vim so I don't need GUI apps for what I'm doing and this made me wonder if it's not better to simply spin a Linux VM inside my macOS to do my development. Something like this: https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config (this guy is one of the founders of Hashicorp)

Ask HN: How ready for daily driving is Asahi Linux?
One of the most popular NixOS configs on GitHub does this https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config
The README describes the experience, though the author takes the approach of using the VM mainly for terminal-based stuff.

Using Nix on macOS
This post focused solely on the Nix package manager and Nix packages - for anyone that uses MacOS but is interesting in trying NixOS (or using it within a VM in MacOS), I definitely recommend Mitchell Hashimoto's NixOS repo: https://github.com/mitchellh/nixos-config
Honestly, doing that may be easier and a better option than using Nix packages in MacOS.

Show HN: Flox 1.0 – Open-source dev env as code with Nix
How does Flox compare to Devbox? https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox

PackagingCon – a conference only for software package management
I've spent the last year managing all my packages with Devbox (https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox).
Local dev, cloud dev, CI, production – all with the same config file. Fingers crossed my talk submission for PackagingCon gets accepted. It'd be awesome to share this new way of working with a wider audience.

NixOS and My Descent into Insanity
> Now to figure out what a "flake" is…
Flake is a worthwhile addition to Nix that is worth learning. But like anything Nixian, it's not straightforward.
Have you checked out any of the tools that aim to simplify Nix experience? We built Devbox (https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox) with this in mind.

TySON: a native go library that lets you use TypeScript as an embedded configuration language without depending on Node or V8
Also devbox ( https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox ) which is what this is for does not work on windows because of its Nix dependency.
-
Simplifying preview environments for everyone
For these reasons, I believe most developer environments should prioritize developer experience over fidelity. Tools like Containerized development environments and cloud emulators can strike the right balance and there’s no surprise that we see increased activity around devcontainers, and similar solutions.

Codespaces but open-source, client-only, and unopinionated
Local first, cloud optional is the only way (IMHO) we're going to get people off their local laptop development setups.
We need to support local dev environments first, with the exact same config a developer can then move to the cloud.
See https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox for how this can be achieved and https://www.mikenikles.com/blog/dev-environments-in-the-clou... for my thoughts after 3 years of working in this space.

Why did Nix adopt Flakes?
If you like the properties of Nix, but find it confusing, you should check out Devbox! It simplifies the process of creating Nix-powered dev environments:

NixTest: a tiny unit testing framework written in pure nix
As part of the work we've been doing with [devbox](https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox), we needed a unit testing framework to test some of our nix code. Unfortunately we had some use cases where we did *not* want to introduce a dependency on `nixpkgs` (and therefore we couldn't use `runTests`).

Docker's deleting Open Source images and here's what you need to know
You might be interested in Devbox (http://jetpack.io/devbox)! We built Devbox because we were frustrated with our Docker based dev environments, and our goal is to provide the power of Nix with a more accessible interface (similar to yarn or other package managers).
We're open source and rapidly adding features, you can check us out on Github at https://github.com/jetpack-io/devbox
