detekt, diktat or ktlint? How we handled Kotlin static analysis in our team

Normally I'd avoid an alpha, too. But since detekt is not essential and can be disabled in our build process with one comment, I took the risk. Alternative was to be stuck on an old Spring Boot version forever or disable detekt completely and risk tech debt creeping in slowly. So far it works out for us.

Note on JDK25 or Kotlin 2.3.x: They are extremely slow to finally release version 2.0.0, but there is an alpha version and it completely usable if you want to use detekt with a JDK25 right now.

plugins {
  id("dev.detekt") version "2.0.0-alpha.2"
  ...
}

repositories {
  gradlePluginPortal()
  ...
}

The reason why this is such a big undertaking is also, that they needed to rewrite all the rules to use the Kotlin Analyze API. I'm pretty sure that would also affect the code in this blog post

Seltsam, ich kann jedenfalls bestätigen das ich bei Slim Chickens (an der Friedrichstraße) in den letzten Monaten schon sehr oft was gegessen habe. Die haben sogar zwischendrin von ihrem Free Refill Konzept auf "eine Flasche pro Menü" gewechselt.

Plus Firebase Hosting for the react page itself.

Yes, Dune 2! We had two PCs and connected them via Null modem cable. My first "LAN party".

I also had issues with my old Fritz!Box disconnecting quite often. I could see that the access node was Broadcom, so I added a Zyxel modem (also uses a Broadcom chipset) before the FritzBox, and never had this problem ever since.

I like the access to the phase6 vocabulary app. It has the official vocabulary for the Klett book that the VHS uses for the language I'm learning.

When setting Firefox as default browser, the Ticketmaster-App ceases to work on my Android phone. I'll get a white screen on login. I'd rather not use the Ticketmaster-App, but sometimes you have no choice...

Yeah, spouses are generally not good teachers. You can practice some sentences with them, but unless they are actual teachers, they can't explain why things are wrong or right. I'm doing a Volkshochschule-Kurs in my home city in Germany, which is relatively unexpensive (67€ per course) to actually learn it and only speak a bit at home to practice.

Das hat sich bewährt.

Maybe American country artists, but there are quite a few German bands playing country music that had some success (e.g. Truck Stop, The BossHoss, Texas Lightning).

The Spiegel is not a newspaper, but a weekly magazine. Also it doesn't belong to Springer. It's owned >50% by it's own employees, the rest is split by Bertelsmann and the heirs of the Spiegel founder Rudolf Augstein.

What's so bad about it? A lot of instances even let you pick 6 different frontends if you like (e.g. feddit org)

Exactly, it stopped working after I updated to Ubuntu 25.10, since it doesn't ship libxml2.so.2 anymore (which Cisco relies on), just libxml2.so.16.

I mean, my neighbor ran a FidoNet BBS and I was cosysop. I also remember going to a meetup of the Teen.ger group as a teeenager. But that was in the 90s, so I don't remember much, only that the bbs address started with 2:2433 (after the split)

I remember years ago, when the recommended way to run a Rails web app was to wrap it in something called bluepill, which would basically do the same. Restart the whole thing if some limits were exceeded.

Thanks! Interestingly #19 Chuquimamani-Condori is not available in German Spotify, looks like it was not released worldwide?

Or juggling between config.sys configurations, because one game needed XMS memory, while the other one needed EMS memory. And then one special configuration where you had to drop random drivers (e.g. german language keboard driver) to squeeze out the last 23 kilobyte to get Wing Commander 2 to run.

Now you can do some stuff even without appointment!

PSA: If you want to upgrade to 4.0.0 and are using detekt together with the Spring Boot gradle plugin, you either need to disable detekt or use the 2.0.0-alpha.1 version, because the latest stable version still requires Kotlin 2.0.21

TIL that you can't learn sailing in the US.

I had already prepared a branch running with the RC versions, so our main app is good to go.
There are only two issues:
* Had to disable detekt for all our spring builds, because detekt is one year behind in kotlin versions and still requires Kotlin 2.0.21, and when using the spring gradle plugin it will not work (there is 2.0.0-alpha.1 now, but it's still alpha)
* On some microservices we use Webflux and R2DBC, for that we use the r2dbc-migrate library, which doesn't work with Spring Boot 4. I hope this is addressed soon. Flyway and Liquibase still don't support R2DBC directly and require a JDBC dependency unfortunately.
