Category Image 080

One of the most common Git errors, "fatal: refusing to merge histories" occurs when there is an attempt to merge unrelated projects in one branch. This happens because the pull request or clone is not compatible with the commit histories and tags of a branch. 

Resolving this error is not that difficult, though. The causes that lead to this problem and the solutions for it are presented below. The more intriguing question may be, would it be possible to stop this error from happening in the first place?

Scheduled Tasks With Hyperlambda and Retry

Featured Imgs 23

Scheduled tasks imply repeatedly executing some piece of code according to some interval. Adding retry implies retrying execution until it succeeds. Creating scheduled tasks with Hyperlambda is extremely easy. Making sure your tasks execute using retry logic is slightly more complex, but it's quite easy once you understand the flow of things, and you learn some basic Hyperlambda. To understand our code, we'll need to analyze some of the core Hyperlambda slots first.

Hyperlambda Is Async to the Bone

The above implies that Hyperlambda consumes tiny amounts of operating system resources while it's waiting for tasks. If you invoke [http.get] to retrieve some data from another server, the thread your Hyperlambda is scheduled to run on is actually suspended and released back to the operating system. This allows your operating system to "reuse" threads for different tasks, resulting in your app as a whole can accept a lot more throughput. Your app scales much better as a result.

Artificial Intelligence — Everything You Need to Know

Featured Imgs 23

Artificial Intelligence is one of the most talked about technologies today. But what is it, exactly? And why should you care? Here, we'll go through everything you need to know about Artificial Intelligence, including what it is and its types, how it works, and the benefits it can provide for your business. We will also explore some of the concerns that people have about AI and address them head-on. So if you're interested in learning more about this fascinating technology, read on!

What Is Artificial Intelligence?

The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy, an American mathematician and computer scientist. AI is the ability of machines to learn and work like humans. AI has a history that dates back to antiquity. The first recorded example of a machine exhibiting rudimentary AI was a mechanical chess player built by engineer Wilhelm Schickard in 1623.
