Sorry for the delay, Friday got busier than expected.

A few things that might be of interest (but none with strong metrics afaict)

  • https://canvatechblog.com/supporting-gpu-accelerated-machine-learning-with-kubernetes-and-nix-7c1da8e42f61
  • https://shopify.engineering/shipit-presents-how-shopify-uses-nix
  • You might want to get in touch with https://discourse.nixos.org/u/elaforge regarding their use of Nix (because of https://discourse.nixos.org/t/developing-a-system-that-replaces-nix-remote-build/22388/1)

Should really just be hydra and nix with relaxed sandbox. Have wanted to do this, there is no money or time for it though, so many GPUs required, I only have two.

@gdesforges:matrix.orgGuillaume Desforges garbas: where can we find the questions and answers of past year survey? 09:06:23
@gdesforges:matrix.orgGuillaume Desforges(I meant text of answers, not actual answers from people)09:06:38
@gdesforges:matrix.orgGuillaume DesforgesI can guess based on the survey results but if you have some sort of file that has it all it's probably easier09:07:22
@gdesforges:matrix.orgGuillaume Desforges* I can guess based on the survey results that where published but if you have some sort of file that has it all it's probably easier09:07:42
@gdesforges:matrix.orgGuillaume DesforgesNow, if we want to break down this goal (getting 2023 survey out) and want to break down into tasks, where should we do that? The GitHub project is fine right?09:09:04

I wasn't able to quickly find them in my email box, but I know Valentin has the export of both. But I might just be able to get you the access to survey.nixos.org since instance to see the questions.

@soulpredator09:matrix.orgsoulpredator09Hi! I had a suggestion to make, probably adding the term/buzz word "immutability" on the website for NixOS will help users know better, and find it as something that takes a similar approach to silverblue, vanilla os (but different and better obviously).03:39:55

https://itsfoss.com/tag/nix-os/ - If it helps (not sure you were aware of it), this is a series that potentially helps nixos project 🫡

Context: nixinator (Dev on other room) said:
Maybe the immutable bedrock of nix needs to be mentioned on the web site. Perhaps head over to the marketing channel and suggest that .

I really don't think this is a good resource, they only recommend installing packages on NixOS with nix-env and flatpak.

Yes but LWN is another style and audience :)

there is a LWN nixos article from 2009. and a short article for some release. so i don't see any reason they wouldn't publish a new article https://lwn.net/Articles/337677/

that is not something many people would care about. the current approach of the marketing is to explain what benefits you get rather than technical properties
