Show HN: A fictional programmer's life, hour by hour – ask Claude via MCP

from the show-hn dept.

https://rows.life/cli

I generated 2 years of a programmer's life — every hour tracked. His job at a big tech company, a side project that takes off, gym sessions, dinners with his wife, kids, the moment he quits his job to go indie. 4,251 entries. The CLI is a single binary (no dependencies) that includes a TUI time tracker and a built-in MCP server. Run rows mcp install --demo and you can start asking Claude about...

Plastic SCM developed Semantic Merge and diffing about a decade ago

Perforce is painful, doesn’t have good cloud offering and does not evolve

Probably you should explain why this is better than, let's say, just invoking kdiff3 unattended ;-)
Re:Cpp Cast interviews SemanticMerge team on Friday December 21, 2018 @11:42AM (#18734476)
Well, we try to use standard libraries for all parsers, not develop our own. We use Roslyn for C#, libclang for C... and the great Eclipse CDT for C++

Tested with the Git repo itself, about 26% less merges need manual intervention: https://gmaster.io/mergedroid/analyze/report/gmasterscm/git

Still alpha.

Re:SemanticMerge now supports Java - language-aware merge tool on Thursday May 30, 2013 @04:51PM (#5795145)
We first launched C# support, a few weeks later we went for Vb.net and now we step out of the .NET framework to release Java support.

Semantic is a free beta and we're giving unlimited licenses to coders sharing feedback.

We're now starting to work on C and then C++ (both using libclang) and hopefully able to handle the Mac OS GUI request soon too (http://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/196398-mergebegins)

Thanks!

Thank you! :)

XML would be great to have, definitely... vote! http://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/196398-mergebegins?fi...

Hi David, sure, I'll try to contact you and I'll send you the config info.
Re:A programming-language-aware, refactor-ready merge tool on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @07:09PM (#5522084)
yep. we started with c#. java will be there too, later c/c++ and after all that it is a matter of listening to our users and react as fast as we can! :-) I'd love to have javascript soon too.

Our designer was on vacation! :)

You might find this one interesting too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5520321. It is about the new desktop semantic merge tool...
Re:A programming-language-aware, refactor-ready merge tool on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @03:08PM (#5520397)
Yep! It is a client app so really easy. Once we go live (in a few days), we'll post the info about how to get it configured with every scm! :-)
Re:A programming-language-aware, refactor-ready merge tool on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @03:06PM (#5520387)
Yep, it can be setup to be used with ANY version control. We already tested it with Git, Hg, SVN, TFS... and it will be usable from P4 and others
Re:A programming-language-aware, refactor-ready merge tool on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @03:01PM (#5520341)
It is able to identify methods that have been moved and modified, totally reorganized classes, find conflicts at the semantic level and may more... hope it helps!
Re:Show HN: CommitQ – Programming language-aware Git repository hosting on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @03:30AM (#5516883)
And we're working on something even better... http://plasticscm.com/sm/index.html
Re:Show HN: CommitQ – Programming language-aware Git repository hosting on Tuesday April 09, 2013 @03:29AM (#5516881)
Yep, there's such a thing for C#, just check this: http://plasticscm.com/sm/index.html
Re:A merge tool that understands your source code... join beta on Wednesday February 27, 2013 @03:23PM (#5294643)
We're starting the close beta. You can surely guess what the tool is about: merging files but understanding the code :O. We can't unveil more yet.

You can always switch to Plastic!! Now it is FREE, didn't you know. Or, as last resort: why don't you use Xmerge with Git?? :)
