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.

FreeBSD has a(nother) new C compiler: Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++
Well, good luck with that, cause it's broken.

The Curious Case of MD5
> I can't count the number of times I've seen people say "md5 is fine for use case xyz" where in some counterintuitive way it wasn't fine.
I can count many more times that people told me that md5 was "broken" for file verification when, in fact, it never has been.
My main gripe with the article is that it portrays the entire legal profession as "backwards" and "deeply negligent" when they're not actually doing anything unsafe -- or even likely to be unsafe. And "tech" knows better. Much of tech, it would seem, has no idea about the use cases and why one might be safe or not. They just know something's "broken" -- so, clearly, we should update.
> Just use a safe one, even if you think you "don't need it".
Here's me switching 5,700 or so hashes from md5 to sha256 in 2019: https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/13185
Did I need it? No. Am I "compliant"? Yes.
Really, though, the main tangible benefit was that it saved me having to respond to questions and uninformed criticism from people unnecessarily worried about md5 checksums.

Cython 3.0 Released
In Spack [1] we can express all these constraints for the dependency solver, and we also try to always re-cythonize sources. The latter is because bundled cythonized files are sometimes forward incompatible with Python, so it's better to just regenerate those with an up to date cython.

Stop searching for shared libraries
At the end of the day a distro or a package manager can decide to do this (typically with patchelf). For example Spack enables this now under a config option: https://github.com/spack/spack/pull/31948. Nix is considering to support it, but the relevant issue is already open for about 5 years, so unclear if they will do it.

What happened to LLVM 15?
If you want to keep up with compilers (and other tools) without waiting for distro support, you might want to take a look at spack: https://github.com/spack/spack. Together with something like Lmod or Environment-Modules, you can have multiple versions of different compilers without any of them getting in each others way. It's sort of meant for hpc centers and is well maintained by Livermore labs, but works well on a dev workstation too.

Throwing some Nix in the Mix
Luckily, I did not have to start from scratch as Nix serves their own docker image. I mounted one of my directories and was able to drop into a Nix shell with my configuration file.

NixOS 21.05 Released
There is one: https://github.com/NixOS/docker
But it's more of a Nix docker image than a NixOS one, because half of the things that NixOS gives you don't really make much sense in a docker image (systemd in a container?).

What tools do people use for DevOps pipelines / continuous delivery?
Ability to run buildkite agents inside a kubernetes cluster on preemble instances without need to modify agent’s Dockerfile every time new dependency comes up - was one of major reasons to learn Nix. I’m just using nixos/docker image as a base, install buildkite-agent and some base stuff like bash via nix-env inside Dickerfile, everything else lays in flake.nix of every project my dockerized nixified buildkite agent run.
