In plain words

Buckaroo is a decentralized package manager for C++ that launched in 2019. It allows developers to manage dependencies and packages without relying on a centralized server. The tool is designed for C++ projects that need flexible, distributed package management. It differs from traditional package managers by enabling a peer-to-peer approach to accessing and sharing code libraries, making it suitable for teams seeking decentralized dependency resolution.

Just coming out of this years NixCon and pretty excited to show hn below :) As of today, NVIDIA officially recognizes Canonical, SUSE, CIQ, and Nix—via Flox—as supported distributors for CUDA. Full blog - https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/developers-can-now-get-cud... This is a huge win for the Nix community. For years, CUDA on Nix was possible but painful—builds could take hours, and redistributing prebuilt binaries was blocked by NVIDIA's licensing requirements. NVIDIA's growing engagement with key…
