Ask HN: Have you used an alternative to Git?
Does anybody here actually use a version control system that's not Git? Why? I'm curious about how you find it and the drawbacks and advantages.
Thanks.

It's also used a lot in the AI/ML area, and with the rise of LLMs, it'll probably provide some amount of job security.
I'm in a compsci club, and I need some ideas for programming challenges related to algorithms.Not merge sort level, more like Huffman coding level.Any ideas?
I use Neovim with 0 plugins (apart from themes). I code in Go, and frequently reference https://pkg.go.dev.
When I do need to code in VS Code (rarely), I find that the autocomplete just gets in the way of my though process. It's like having a train of though barreling along and then suddenly an elephant gets on.
Also, I didn't even know what an language server was until looking it up after reading this post.
About Copilot: I have many problems with AI. They guzzle electricity, tend to be run by corrupt corporations, and are filling the internet with BS.
If I need to look up the definition/implementation? `:vsplit` works fine. If it's on the internet? https://pkg.go.dev.
If you don't trust me, you can check my dotfiles: https://codeberg.org/Kaamkiya/dotfiles
Pretty cool, though :)

Back then, it wasn't because of bots, but I did think that most websites going through enshittification will eventually be filled with bots.
I did find https://discuit.net to be a good alternative, as well as Lemmy.
I used C to do some of the old ones. That was painful (I was a complete C beginner).

Hello HackerNews, I'm Kaamkiya, the author of this program. It's a collection of minimal games made for terminals, like 2048, Hangman, and even two player games like pong. They're all text-based, but they can actually be quite fun.If you want to test it right now, you can do this:go run github.com/Kaamkiya/gg@latestI started this project out of boredom, honestly. I was bored, and when I'm bored...

I tried running `*.java` files without classes (so just `void main`) and I got this error:
```
Hello.java:1: error: class, interface, or enum expected
void main() {
^
```

It's a great one.
Thank you!
I see a lot of project ideas, and I see a lot of people shoot them down because no one would use them.I recently made a project called gg[0], and it's a collection of TUI video games. It's really just a toy; it doesn't solve a problem.I'm curious, what problems do you have that could potentially be solved by developers?[0]: https://github.com/Kaamkiya/ggP.S. This is my first HN post. Feel free...
