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.

What OS do you self-host on?
NixOS. If you still need Docker you can define and manage that via Nix too. I love it, both for this and managing development environments. Happy to answer any questions.

What would you consider to be a must for a modern 2022 dev stack?
With Nix we have a shell.nix in the root of our repo describing all of the project's system dependencies. It looks something like this. You can pin nixpkgs with Flakes (think lockfiles) or by hardcoding a specific revision. We do the latter because I didn't want to complicate the Nix install for everyone by requiring they enable experimetnal features.

What Plugins do you use to manage LSP ?
Nix, for example updating from rls to rust-analyzer.

Switching from pyenv, rbenv, goenv and nvm to asdf – yujinyuz
I agree that the documentation story could be better. I also think it's a great shame that the language isn't statically-typed, so to understand how to use something I have to inspect its source code.
I've found it to be quite flexible though. For example, here's a commit in which I apply a patch to a tool to solve a problem that the derivation hadn't taken into account (and absent a home-manager solution): https://github.com/samhh/dotfiles/commit/867dd3b4d4b3942a0aa...

Good tech blog recommendations?
You may like to look at my newsboat config. It's biased towards FP and Linux.

Which WM do you use, and why?
Sure thing, I manage it in my dotfiles repo here.

Latest xmonad on NixOS
I wonder if you'd have better luck if you built your xmonad as a proper Haskell app and didn't use the built-in --recompile stuff. It's not Nix, but see here an example of how I'm doing that.

What values do you like in your git global config?
Here's my config: https://github.com/samhh/dotfiles/blob/master/home/.config/git/config

Quick & dirty project-wide fuzzy search in vim
This is possible for quickfix, see my dotfiles commit here.

Show HN: Dotenv, if it is a Unix utility
I think direnv already does a good job in this space, and it's already available in your package manager.

Mise is a polyglot tool version manager
I switched from asdf to mise after a comment on lobste.rs[1] suggested I do so a few months ago, and I have been very happy with it.
It sands off some of asdf's sharp UI edges and provides a somewhat larger but still reasonable feature set; I've also replaced most of my direnv[2] usage with it.
The mise -> asdf comparison page is useful[3]

Nix-direnv is a quality of life improvement
I also made the export diff configurable, motivated by this post: https://github.com/direnv/direnv/pull/1233

Conditional Git Configuration
Nice.
For years I've been using [direnv](https://direnv.net/) for this, setting environment variables which git picks up. This looks like a more feature complete equivalent, although to be honest I only really need switching of committer email and the SSH key used.

Development Environments with Guix, similar to devenv.sh
Direnv, for the uninitiated, loads and unloads environment variables when directories are entered and exited. Under every project folder there is a `$PROJ_DIR/.envrc` which contains:
-
Emacs Advent Calendar 9: devdocs, code-cells, dREPL, etc.
buffer-env: A pure-Elisp version of the direnv utility. Useful to make Emacs aware of Python virtualenvs (which, judging by the questions posted here, is unfortunately still a complication for a lot of people). Similar to (and inspired by) envrc, but doesn't require the direnv program.
-
golang cli vs env var in windows?
You can look at direnv to see this in action as they wrote shell hooks that get loaded into the shell profile and are executed on every prompt. https://direnv.net/

Nix Survival Mode: macOS upgrades won't break Nix anymore
Yes, most Nix users employ https://direnv.net or the equivalent for your IDE of choice. Emacs for instance has https://github.com/purcell/envrc which set per-buffer variables.
