I would agree, but when I look at it then

They wrote

Feel free to fork the project under a

(yes, the sentence ends with the ‘a’)

The ZUDoom GitHub project description says

UZDoom is a feature centric port for all Doom engine games, based on ZDoom, adding an advanced renderer, powerful scripting capabilities, and forked under a

It ending with ‘forked under a’ is probably a reference to that comment? lol, nice reference joke, but I hope they change it after a while, because as a description it’s quite confusing.

Great comment on there links two code comment threads I found significant and interesting.

While it was primarily about ethics, it should also be noted that the code was described as being “impressively wrong”, as well as not actually compiling. I mean, it basically checked if a theme was dark by if it had the word “dark” in the name - which is not a good heuristic - when better ways of doing it exist.

For reference, same article posted an hour earlier in this community. This post currently has more upvotes. Neither has comments, as of now.

I love SonarQube (previously called SonarLint). I/We use it at work in dotnet/C# and web/Blazor projects.

Their free offer is great.

The dotnet and Visual Studio analyzer suggestions are already a great tool. Adding SonarQube on top, and recently I’ve added Roslynator Analyzers as well gives great free tooling, linting, suggestions of various levels, and quick actions to apply.

With the commercial backing they have, SonarQube is very well maintained/developed as well, with regular updates.

It’s intended to become a spiritual successor to ThiefMD.

What does it want to or already do different or better than ThiefMD?

I see the release has a flatpak. A Windows binary or installer would be great too, attached to the release, so it doesn’t require cargo toolchain and build to use.

Wait. Does it even support Windows? I guess not? I read Rust and GTK and assumed it would.

Are you still actively working on/developing on the project?

Skipping new developments can be fine. Moving slow or not at all can mean stability and predictability.

The biggest issue is missed security updates, if they exist, or a lack of identification and fixing of open security issues.

And, of course, developer convenience if the project is still being actively worked on.

Struggling with Legacy Code and not enough time to clean it up?

“rescue any codebase quickly and safely”? [x] doubt

But who knows what “rescue” means for them.

Patches for two high-severity ZIP parsing flaws have quietly been available since July.

If you updated at some point since July 5th you already have the update.

The hosted version shows me a network error, and endless loading state. api/posts request failed due to CORS missing allow-origin.

When I explore or consider alternatives, I don’t think of or ask myself about design principles, but consider and weigh what could and would make sense where I am.

More than principles, the guiding goal is Maintainability - Readability, Graspability, Consistency, Correctness, Robustness. Weighted against constraints.

I guess separation of concerns is a big one I use implicitly. Like many others.

I can assure you the quality is top without looking at the product! /s

This reads like such diffuse nothing-speak. “We will do less but remain committed.” It’s a contradiction. Doesn’t help that one person gives a speech then the company makes clarifications which read like pulling back or lying/delaying about where leadership is pushing towards.

The article does a decent job exploring what it could mean.

Neither closed core nor malicious runtime-platform switches are in the spirit of open source, or can be called truly or fully open source.

They should have made a concrete plan first, and then announced and implemented that. But I guess we can be thankful we can see signs of where they may be headed, and that could push negative feedback or make people more cautious and aware of their practices and changes.

I’ve become disillusioned. After projects did not respond, not even with timely hacktoberfest-accepted labels on PRs, I don’t consider it likely the investment will be used in the projects or attributed to me during Hacktoberfest. The last two times I participated, finding projects was quite the hassle too.

I enjoyed the early years. I got shirts, which are my favorite shirts. Great fabric.

This could prevent the developer verification from coming to reality.

This is about the Epic Games court case regarding competing app stores and payment processors, not the Google developer registration requirement. A halt on previous rulings in the case was denied.

… requires Google to allow users to download rival app stores within its Play store and make Play’s app catalog available to competitors. Those provisions do not take effect until July 2026.

… Google must allow developers to include external links in apps, enabling users to bypass Google’s billing system. That part of the injunction is due to take effect later this month.

What does “all known Windows privacy and telemetry settings” entail and mean?

Registry and group policy?

Is this sourced from a shared effort project of known stuff, or does this project track it’s own, and would need notice and updates of new settings?

Interesting. I’m definitely missing a decent PDF editor.

Looks like they support a lot of PDF features, but not PDF 2.0 yet.

I was also interested in what underlying PDF library they are using. Looks like their own library is part of the project or if not, based on Qt if they provide anything.

The licensing is a bit confusing. The website talks about being LGPL, then about goal of being more permissive then GPL, but in the repository README, it talks about how the project was relicensed from LGPL to MIT, and license file is MIT. Seems like it was just the website intro missing an update. So: MIT.

In what way is this !programming@programming.dev? I don’t think “I made this” should quality, or we would lose programming focus/scope of the community. This would be a better fit in gamedev or gaming or personal project communities.

It is not a bad thing.

The comment claimed “alternative to GitHub”. I pointed out that it’s an alternative for only a subset of use cases/projects. Without that clarification, someone may explore or follow through and be disappointed.
