SD Times news digest: GitHub Code Search, Apache Airflow 2.0, and SonarSource’s SAST tooling

GitHub has announced that Code Search will now only index repositories with recent activity. This means that only repositories that have had a commit or shown up in a search in the past year will be indexed. If not, the repository will be purged from the index. 

According to GitHub, this will enable Code Search to surface only the most relevant content and keep queries fast. 

Apache Airflow 2.0 now available
Version 2.0 introduces a new way of writing DAGs, which are a collection of tasks to run that are organized by their relationships and dependencies. They can now be written using the TaskFlow API, which enables dependencies to be handled more clearly. 

There is also a fully supported REST API, Scheduler performance improvements, HA compatibility for the Scheduler, Task Groups, updated UI, Smart Sensors that can be used to reduce load, and a simplified KubernetesExecutor. 

SonarSource launches high-precision SAST tooling
The new Static Application Security Testing (SAST) capabilities will enable developers to become more involved in the security of their code. Customers can now add security analysis alongside other SonarSource tools they’re familiar with, such as SonarQube and SonarCloud. 

According to the company, it has been gradually adding SAST functionality to its portfolio for years, but this was accelerated in May when it acquired SAST company RIPS-TECH. Following the acquisition, SonarSource has been working to reengineer its ability to detect vulnerabilities. 

“Our approach to Code Security is a true change of paradigm, taking the opposite approach from traditional players who address CISOs, risk and compliance needs, and feel the pain to bridge to development in order to fix issues. With the precision that we offer, developers can be the direct recipient of vulnerabilities issues. And when you know the level of integration of our products with development pipelines and its level of adoption, it is not difficult to imagine the kind of impact it will have on the security market,” said Olivier Gaudin, CEO of SonarSource. 

Infragistics announces UI controls for Uno Platform
The new features include Grids, Charts, and Gauges, along with support for WinUI. The Uno Platform Data Grid is a grid that allows developers to display data with little coding. Grid features include inline editing, filtering, sorting, templates, row selection, row grouping, row pinning, and movable columns and more. 

Uno Charts come in over 50 chart types, such as bar, column, line, and radial, and features include crosshairs, legends, markers, panning, and zooming.

Gauges are a way to visualize KPIs. Uno offers Linear Gauges and Radial Gauges.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
