Re:Flameshot on Thursday January 29, 2026 @03:58PM (#46816487)
I love flameshot, before it I used Shutter and I don't regret switching to Flameshot whatsoever. I use it on my work and personal laptops (Debian+xfce4)

Re:Terraform 0.15 General Availability on Wednesday April 14, 2021 @06:12PM (#26813759)
I upgraded from 11 to 12 like one year ago and from 12 to 13 some days ago (upgrade to 14 seems that will be straightforward) but in my case what I did:

  - Don't upgrade directly from 12 to 14, go to 13 first
  - If you have warnings after moving from 11, fix them first
  - Run the 0.13upgrade command in your code that will generate the required_providers
  - Run terraform-v13 init
  - Change to correct workspace if using some
  - Run terraform-v13 plan which will probably fail due to the new explicit required-providers rule, if that happens you need to modify the state with the correct providers https://www.terraform.io/upgrade-guides/0-13.html#why-do-i-see-provider-during-init- . In my case I have a lot of modules so I created an script that automated that process
  - Execute again terraform-v13 plan and verify that it will not make uncommon changes
  - Then run terraform-v13 apply.
Re:jQuery 3.6.0 on Tuesday March 02, 2021 @02:26PM (#26319303)
I think it is still widely adopted in CMSs like Drupal and Wordpress and they have a big market share. Jquery will not die soon even if it is not the first choice for starting a new project. It's been years since the last time I used it.
Re:Flameshot – Superb Screenshot Tool on Friday February 12, 2021 @12:44PM (#26116295)
After I knew Shutter was going to be deprecated I found Flameshot and I'm not changing it. Really good tool
We experienced 504 errors from Cognito but seems to be that other services are affected as well
Re:Ask HN: How did you get started in tech and/or Linux? on Sunday October 04, 2020 @10:08AM (#24679166)

There are still FLOSS projects that still have that hacker culture you mention. You can still build things and feel good, though you probably won't get paid. Check their mailing lists, Github issues, IRC chats, Slack or whatever channel these projects use for communication, there are big discussions in what technical decisions to take. These projects always need help and also have different problems to be solved.

It might fill that gap you have (at least it did for me).

In the end you will see your job just as an income source but most of your passion will be in contributing to FLOSS projects, if you get paid for contributing to FLOSS even better.

You mention those 80s 90s hacker ethos, be like that, be curious, try checking someone's else code, play it with, read what things need to be improved, hack it and show it.

Thanks for the feedback, I will test Lumen
I used Laravel for some projects that deal a few users. Where I work, we are reviewing different stacks for a project that will deal with a bigger quantity of users and I would really like to use Laravel, does Laravel have some performance issues or similar stuff when dealing with lot of users?
while True the javascript framework I created this morning, which I think is better than others
Re:Ask HN: What was your greatest accomplishment in 2016? on Tuesday December 27, 2016 @05:18PM (#13266693)
It was an accomplishment for me but then it became a frustration. I always hated mathematics but I always loved programming, making appls but cool things like algorithms design, data structures are the base of real cool things e.g. programming languages, RDBMS, artificial intelligence, etc. are all mathematics So I enrolled to Mathematics on my local university just to see how it was and I fell in love, I never saw so much perfection with just paper and pencil. I loved calculus it was really funny solving problems, making proofs, etc. I got good scores the first half of the year and I really wanted to continue but then frustration began, the need of money, so I started working and I couldn't go to lectures anymore. Of course I try to keep reading books and solving some excercies but help from professors or extra tips they used to gave us is what I really miss.
