git it totally unintuitive and its ridiculous the lengths people go to convince you "oh you just don't *get* the brilliance of it" butfea its actually quite poo poo for actual human beings, much like linus's other creation.

git's killer feature is that it's the only way to get code onto github

jira is as good as the effort you put into configuring it. if you have customized workflows/ticket types/etc for your process, ti's wonderful. if you use all the stock tools without any amount of thought to, "what do we actually need?" it's poo poo.

i just had to initialize a VM and install git and set up a blank repo and manage accounts for ppl to use it. it took me like half a day and it works but i can still safely say that i dont know what the gently caress

github is the only reason git won


git cli sucks dick and u need to know the deep internals to understand what the gently caress goes on

still better than tfvc

some people made a vcs with a sound theoretic basis. last i checked merges didn't take exponential time very often at all, which was a great improvement

~Coxy posted:

they should have a source control system that is basically SVN, but good

check in, check out, branch that actually branches, merge that works, a rename that tracks history. boom.

chmods please posted:

haha yeah let's just not branch and merge

fritz posted:

at work we use gerrit for code review which (a) will categorically reject merge commits and (b) needs a tool called 'repo' (great name y'all) to do the branch management, so i haven't done a 'git branch' or 'git merge' in months

fritz posted:

reviews are also one commit at a time so I'm doing lots and lots of 'git commit --amend'

stash the atlassian tool is really great

darcs. it worked very well indeed. and a normal human being could use it w/out blowing his foot off. the exponential merge thing, while hypothetically possible, turned out to be a bug in most practical examples.

unfortunately it was very non-portable and kinda pokey using the ghc of its era

Brain Candy posted:

it's called svn

fortunately pressure from git has kept svn from just being "cvs in a database" and things like renames aren't actually things anymore. unlike git cli which will only ever get worse

when i tried to clone the darcs repo it took all day and didn't finish, if that wasn't due to an exponential merge then wtf

~Coxy posted:

I gotta admit I have not created a brand new SVN server in a while but is merging renamed files really fixed?

in Java does there exist a for-each loop which also gives the index? specifying bounds (or updating the index myself) is for chumps

Kevin Mitnick P.E. posted:

perhaps you would prefer javascript. Array.prototype.map supplies the index as the 2nd argument to f

why

fritz posted:

why gerrit? i think it was just what the people here on day 1 were familiar with

it's 'ok' as a code review thing, we got jenkins listening to it and doing builds, but couldn't figure out how to get jenkins to post reports back into it, i wish it was better integrated into our (subpar) bug tracker, and it has a few warts, but it's better than nothing

pl thread is doing windows chat, which made me think: one of the things im gonna be working on at newjob is a windows application that does some video capture and encoding using dedicated hardware (among other things). question is, does it sound like im gonna have to care + learn about windows internals? or will i likely be able to get away with just reading up on XAML and "windows app" development

(yeah i know its a hella vague question)

if you're lucky its wpf/xaml so its litterrally the best ui development platform in the world. if not then its probably old rear end windows forms crap or maybe even some custom in house thing. (or even vb6 lol)

but no matter what if you're doing video hardware stuff you're gonna probably need to know atleast a little bit about how that stuff works cause its mostly accessed the same way regardless of which windows app platform ur coming from. unless they hired you because you claimed you had that knowledge I wouldn't worry too much about learning it until you get their cause its some arcane poo poo.

chmods please posted:

define "dedicated hardware"

if it shows up as a video device, you use directshow or media foundation. you'll get to learn the fun quirks of COM but overall not terrible

if it doesn't, or your job is to make it appear as a video device, you'll definitely need to learn stuff

coffeetable posted:

im not starting till next month and the people there are reluctant to tell me much until ive signed an nda. what im doing right now is building a general reading list for myself so i'll at least have some context for the problem, and now that i know it exists, media foundation seems like exactly the kind of thing i should be looking at. thanks
