[QUOTE=DarkCybo7;39791425]Anyone familiar with LuaJIT? I'm trying to compile the damn thing, but I'm having no luck with the linker: - If I link -llua before -llua-jit5.1, everything runs but I see absolutely no performance increases or anything different. - If I link -llua after -llua-jit5.1, it complains about not finding -llua-jit.5.1.so.2 or something like that. - If I don't link -llua and only -llua-jit5.1, none of the lua functions are defined. and the luajit instructions don't say shit.[/QUOTE] Unless you're developing for a very obscure platform, just use the provided make files. No external headers or libraries are required, it compiles out of the box and it compatible with the Lua 5.1 API and ABI.

The international cover looks way less like a kid's book though: [IMG]http://store.lazywyre.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/650x650/521f2eee4e9be16752173b8ec9ed34c0/9/7/9780132553179.jpg[/IMG]

I wrote code that I commited but didn't sync and then went home and wrote code on the old version of the project. I synced that and when I went back, I expected just to press sync on this machine and then, using some clever UI or something chose how to merge files that overlap. Sadly, that didn't happen but instead PowerShell opened with no explanation on what to do. Closed the shell and now GitHub for Windows says I have a detached head or something... What do I do now?

GitHub for Windows is poop

[QUOTE=Eric95;39795824]GitHub for Windows is poop[/QUOTE] Yeah. It's much better to use command line all the time and not know how to do anything at all. [editline]4th March 2013[/editline] Ok. I've managed to push the changes on this PC but they have now overriden the changes I did at home. How do I revert to a previous commit but only partially?

Create another branch, commit whatever you have at home, and merge? Or you could copy the files you've changed at home to a different folder, sync with Master, copy them back and then commit and push that.

[QUOTE=Darwin226;39795838]Yeah. It's much better to use command line all the time and not know how to do anything at all.[/QUOTE] I think he meant you should use something like TortoiseGit or GitExtensions. I have heard nothing but bad things about github for windows.

[QUOTE=Gulen;39796026]Create another branch, commit whatever you have at home, and merge? Or you could copy the files you've changed at home to a different folder, sync with Master, copy them back and then commit and push that.[/QUOTE] Hmh... Right now I've managed to convince it to let me revert to the changes I did at home. I did copy my changes I have here to a separate folder as to re-merge them when I restore the home version but I just noticed I copied them too late. They have these weird <<<<<<HEAD things in some of the files. I'm sure there's a way to do something about those but I think I'll rather copy and paste patches of code from one folder to another until it compiles. There really needs to be a better explanation than "Synching failed, you might need to debug the repo via the console"... THANKS!

[QUOTE=Ziks;39787961]As I near the end of our software engineering group project at university I have decided that I never want to be a software engineer or work with people ever again.

I get PTSD flashbacks whenever I hear someone say "but it works, so there's no need to change it". [editline]3rd March 2013[/editline] My favourite part is when the indentation goes up to 16 deep.[/QUOTE] Where I work it's the other extreme, there are so many coding rules and code reviews and standards we usually plan like 30% implementation time and 70% overhead for stuff like code reviews and fixes. And the application is so bloated and full of frameworks of frameworks it takes up to 15 minutes to start the application server and uses >1.5GB RAM while loading hundreds of thousands of classes. But too be honest it's almost worth it when I look at what you have to work with :v:

[QUOTE=Darwin226;39795838]Yeah. It's much better to use command line all the time and not know how to do anything at all.[/QUOTE] Hey, there are a lot of much better Git GUIs than GitHub for Windows. It gave me nothing but problems when I was using it.

I'm working on a Windows 8 application which shows your schedule including last-minute changes (i.e. different classroom, teacher etc). Second thing, howdy dutch fellow! Last weekend I developed my own webserver in C#.NET to gain some more experience (PHP was working partly) and I have to say that it was easier than I expected!

[QUOTE=Darkwater124;39797157]semi-underlining[/QUOTE] Not really, it's ( I think ) a bug in the drivers on my Ubuntu installation. Whenever I run it on Windows it looks just fine and every 3 out of 10 times or so that I run it on Ubuntu it's fine as well.
