If you've struggled with managing complex projects with #Nix you should check out *flakes*, an experimental #Nix feature we've developed in partnership with Target. It makes Nix-based projects more #reproducible, #discoverable and composable. tweag.io/posts/2020-05-…

Tomorrow at 16:00 UTC — #ThursdaysMatter co-presented with Tweag by Modus Create. For our 2nd virtual meetup, Graham Christensen leads a discussion on "Safe and Reproducible Deployments with Immutable Infrastructure' Join us by registering here: skillsmatter.com/meetups/13106-…

I'm devastated by the news that my mentor Eelco Visser has passed away unexpectedly. He was my master's and PhD supervisor (the Nix project wouldn't exist without him). Above all he was a wonderful person, and this is a terrible loss to everybody who knew him.

Determinate Systems seeks to make Nix (NixOS) and its many wonderful capabilities more accessible than ever. In this new blog post we lay out our core mission, discuss a specific problem we're trying to solve, and tease some of our future plans. determinate.systems/posts/we-want-…

We're thrilled to announce the initial release of Riff, a Nix-powered CLI tool that automatically provides external dependencies for software projects. Riff supports Rust projects out the gate but we plan to support additional languages in the near future: determinate.systems/posts/introduc…

Excited to share what we've been working on at Determine Systems the last couple of months! Having a site that explains modern, flake-based Nix fills a big gap in the Nix user experience.

Let's kick it off. Announcing: Determinate Nix. buff.ly/4eOCxw7 Easy binary cache configuration, better hardware support, and more. It "does the right thing" in more places, most of the time.

Ok NixCon Launch Week friends, part two: FlakeHub Cache and private flakes are generally available. Check it out: buff.ly/3NDF6Fm It's a binary cache, with access control that makes sense for teams, with an API that makes deployments a breeze. You're going to love it.

⏳ Last chance to register for our upcoming webinar! If you're using Nix in production (or want to), this session is a no-brainer. On April 24th, see how FlakeHub simplifies deployments with everything from versioning to secure cache to zero-eval. RSVP now with the link in this
