News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

So you split a big work into stacked branches (brach B3 depending on B2 that depends on B1). What happens when the changes on B1 are not accepted? You have to rewrite the entire branch stack.

I'm impressed with how we moved from "AI is dangerous", "Skynet", "don't give AI internet access or we are doomed", "don't let AI escape" to "Hey AI, here is internet, do whatever you want".

Re:Most (ly Dead) Influential Programming Languages (2020) on Wednesday July 16, 2025 @08:27AM (#44581486)
Pascal isn't dead. At least here in Brazil it's widespread. I've heard in Russia and China too.

Freepascal [1] is up and running, targeting a lot of platforms: x86-16, x86-32, AMD64, RISC-V (32/64), ARM, AArch64, AVR, JVM, Javascript...

... and operating systems: Windows, Linux, MacOS, iOS, web and others.

I don't know an easier way to build multiplatform desktop applications other then Freepascal/Lazarus. I mean, real desktop apps, not that Electron bullsh*.

Why not just use a canvas or a SVG ?

I've switched to XP (from Windows 7, on a VM) and the performance is astounding even on limited hardware settings. No bloatware, just good old Win32 x86.

Re:How I learned to stop worrying and push to master on Friday December 17, 2021 @06:57AM (#29591025)
Well here is the workflow we use here at our company:

Branch feature from master/main.

Keep feature branch in sync with master/main (merging from master/main everyday). This minimizes conflicts when we finally get to merge feature branch to master.

Any refactor made in feature branch may be cherrypicked to master any time. This reduces differences between feature branch and master/main, resulting in less code to review.

You should really talk to Lucas Radaelli, a very tallented blind programmer working at google. He calls himself Brazilian Daredevil (marvel character).

Ctrl+l clears screen. This is very useful even if you are inside a REPL like python, ruby, mysql, etc...

"Using ZFS as a replacement of Git for is probably not a good idea..."

Of course not.

Re:Ask HN: What's a good cross platform alternative to C#? on Friday August 16, 2013 @07:52AM (#6223388)
Lua has LÖVE (https://love2d.org/), a 2D engine. Python has PyGame (http://www.pygame.org/). Both are cross platform interpreted languages. If you are planning to develop for mobile, unfortunately there's no cross platform.
