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.

Debian pauses /usr merge file moves
I mean, we don't have to hack the elf loader if we just rewrite every elf binary using patchelf: https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf
The parent commenter is already suggesting "just run a regex", so it seems like a trivial extension to their simple solution to "just run patchelf on every binary on your system"

How does Nix make sure binaries can access their runtime dependencies?
Patching paths in text files typically used substituteInPlace (including in cowsay). For dynamic libraries, patchelf is typically used.

"Discord installation is corrupt" on Ubuntu Linux.
Install patchelf.

Invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)
Thank you! I followed the instruction here, but it looks like I didn't actually install it, because my pacman -Q patchelf did not find anything. Maybe I was missing a dependency. Also, it was late so I didn't pay attention to warnings at the time.

Rpath, or why lld doesn’t work on NixOS
How does an article on NixOS talk about the `rpath` issue without also mentioning the `patchelf` utility that NixOS developers created to solve this issue? It's a small tool that lets you modify ELF executables and binaries. It's also the recommended way for NixOS users to modify binaries to work properly.

Scala project (FIRRTL) failing to build on NixOS
NixOS doesn't have stable paths to shared libraries like macOS or other linux distributions (and this is the core feature) and always need to patch elf for current paths ( https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf ).

Nix: The Breaking Point
I don't think so. The article is probably intended for the Nix community, so the author doesn't need to convince HN that something is going on. If as an outsider you are interested then you need to look into it yourself, the community has no obligation to make their internal conflicts legible to the outside world.
As an outsider myself, it certainly looks like something is going on as more than 20 Nixpkg maintainers left in a week: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=label%3A%228.has%3...

3rd Edition of Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ by Stroustrup
For a single file script, nix can make the package management quite easy: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/doc/languages-f...

NixOS Is Not Reproducible
Yes, Nix doesn't actually ensure that the builds are deterministic. In fact it works just fine if they aren't. There are packages in nixpkgs that aren't reproducible: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aiss...

The xz attack shell script
I'm not familiar with Bazel, but Nix in it's current form wouldn't have solved this attack. First of all, the standard mkDerivation function calls the same configure; make; make install process that made this attack possible. Nixpkgs regularly pulls in external resources (fetchUrl and friends) that are equally vulnerable to a poisoned release tarball. Checkout the comment on the current xz entry in nixpkgs https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/comp...

Debian Git Monorepo
NixOS uses a monorepo and I think everyone's love it.
I love being able to easily grep through all the packages source code and there's regularly PRs that harmonizes conventions across many packages.
Nixpkgs doesn't include the packaged software source code, so it's a lot more practical than what Debian is doing.

From xz to ibus: more questionable tarballs
In this specific case, nix uses fetchFromGitHub to download the source archive, which are generated by GitHub for the specified revision[1]. Arch seems to just download the tarball from the releases page[2].
