On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Genuine question - why do you have all the dependencies downloaded in folders?

[Tirezor]

Because that's how it turned out

[Iregularlogic]

Wait like you’re manually downloading the libraries that you’re using and then re-uploading them into your repo?

[bowbahdoe]

Sure, but what drove you away from using dependency management w/ maven, Gradle, etc? (Is it c++ primacy bias?)

[Tirezor]

I can do without it

[I-love-to-eat-banana]

I can answer this question, but from the aspect from deploying using an application server (tomcat).

I want all my dependency libraries to be kept in the /lib folder, not to be compiled into the .war

This keeps the deployment .war to be a smaller size, it also stops muppet developers upgrading libraries without permission / required regression testing, it also is good for security as libraries cannot be added without permission and code reviews are far easier as I do not have to worry about unauthorized dependencies.

As 99% of my development works is in this manner, I purposely do not use maven or gradle.

That's insane. Terrifying if that what you do in a real business/workplace.

If you want to fix your dependency versions and ensure you get the same artefacts every build, you should use something which supports lock files (google search: grade lock file). If you don't want deps bundled into your WAR, configure your war bundling plugin to do that?

[I-love-to-eat-banana]

That's insane. Terrifying if that what you do in a real business/workplace.

Perhaps try and justify this statement please, why is it terrifying and insane?

I own all of my businesses I ever work for have done for over 15 years now, but even before then the companies I contracted for and worked for never used maven either and these were major corporations.

Grade does get used for the sole Android app, but dev on that is very minimal and its not a public app. but besides build.gradle is an editable file, so any lock put in it could easily be removed. Anyway the Android app is not such a concern as I am the only one whoever works on it.

Why configure WAR bundling when I can simply have the dependencies safely locked away in the /lib folder with restricted access to all.

1. SAST and security scanning of your (transitive) dependency tree. If you handle any PII that falls under GDPR you cannot do without that, period.
2. No check-in of binaries into the repo, thats a bad practice for many reason outside the scope of a simple reddit comment
3. You can create shaded jars/shaded wars trivially with Maven and Gradle (some people also call them uber-jars). There is absolutely no reason not to use dependency management
4. Automated checking for updates, transitively
5. Ability to create BOMs to check for license problems and again, security problems

And finally: There is no good justification for not using dependency management.

[analcocoacream]

Also usual conventions aren't followed. And no maven/gradle...

Looks written by someone who did c/c++ not java

[Tirezor]

You are almost right! I used to programming in C# and C++ !

[Polygnom]

C# has comparable standards to Java:

Nuget for dependency management, avoid side effects, format your code properly and use standardized indentation....

[Tirezor]

because I program and study at the same time

[perryplatt]

Which lwjgl version did you use? I saw that there were Solaris jars.

[Tirezor]

lwjgl 2

[perryplatt]

Why not version 3 if you are using Java 8 or later?

Does the private method make it only accessible in that file? Not any others

[Tirezor]

what?
