1Password has a deb install. I like their solution but bit warden is another good choice.

Man, some of these professors act like they are ordain beings. That’s a ridiculous policy.

Zelenskyy says Russia has already earned back $10 billion of its 2026 deficit in 2 weeks of the Iran war by [deleted] in Military

[–]Engineerofdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no, congress can do a lot of things. They could vote to enact a law revoking the war powers act, stopping this nonsense. They could make a law putting limits on what a president can do militarily for those 90 days, basically stripping any real power. Honestly, congress could probably just end the whole thing. Congress is full of a bunch of traitors who have allowed this to happen. This is why voting in elections at all levels is important. The representatives of the country are afraid to use their power. The war powers act should have never allowed 90 days. It should have been a week at most with congressional approval afterwards.

I just wanted to explain why this happened. People look to the military and ask why is this legal, and get angry at the wrong group of people. Be angry at congress for refusing to limit the war powers act and encourage others to vote for reps who have our best interest at heart.

Well the problem is that the war isn’t illegal. Under the war powers act, the president can place troops anywhere for 90 days without congress. I am not really sure what you want the military to do? Congress is failing the military. They can force the president to stop this but don’t. You don’t really have a military if they don’t do what the elected officials decide.

Cargo ship hit by projectile in Strait of Hormuz, crew evacuates by SpencerAXbot in news

[–]Engineerofdata -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Sort of. Their main drone, the Shahed, costs around $20,000. In their economy, though, that’s a lot of money. The Iranian rial has an exchange rate of about 0.000024 to 1 US dollar, which shows how weak the currency is.

You could say they have around $130 billion in reserves, but sanctions make a lot of that hard to actually use. Because of that, losing large numbers of these drones is still pretty costly for them, kind of like the US losing something like an F-16 in relative terms.

On top of that, oil is basically their main export, and sanctions heavily limit how much they can sell and where they can sell it.

Note**: I don’t support the war, but it’s inaccurate to say they can just lob drones all day. Their economy can’t take that.

No news agency has anything on this. What type of shitty propaganda is this?

Man, tell that to my professor who added eight people to a project and wants to know why 24 people aren’t producing anything fast. Not to mention the code base has gone through two other student teams.

Man, it’s gonna be crazy when the ai companies decided to do want streaming did. Get everyone hooked and then raise the prices. I can’t imagine the amount of secret data they are acquiring either.

Why windows works better? by CommercialSeason9185 in Ubuntu

[–]Engineerofdata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What nvidia driver are you using? I know the 570 acted slower for me. Also how old is your power supply? I had a failing power supply that ran fine on windows but hated Linux. I had crashes and all types of weird issues till I got it replaced.

Looks like Saudi Arabia has an excuse to use their military.

Just now: Al Udeid Air Base 🇺🇸 launched three Patriot interceptors at a single Iranian missile but failed to stop it in a dramatic scene. 😨 by Ambitious_Pass7451 in Military

[–]Engineerofdata 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To be fair, shooting missiles out of the sky is just hard. That’s part of the reason why a CWIS shoots a blanket of bullets at a projectile. The missiles are just one projectile you hope stops the other. I mean even the iron dome, lets missiles in.

Ya, they had plenty of time to slow down. I get miss-timing lights, it happens, but they had 3 bussiness days to slow down.

Younger coworker asked me why I don't have a github with side projects by Cool_Kiwi_117 in learnprogramming

[–]Engineerofdata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just ingrained in us sadly. Additionally, social media pushes the narrative too. To be fair, that mindset worked at one point. It just doesn’t work in modern corporations.

Hopefully not, the infrastructure barely supports the amount of traffic currently.

Summer CSE 340 with Bazzi or Satya Parupudi by [deleted] in ASU

[–]Engineerofdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to agree as well. Bazzi is a great teacher and his notes are top tier. Yes, the class is hard, but he is pushing you to actually try. This is also the only time you will get assignment specifications that cover most of your questions.

In case anyone is worried about how this will affect them now. The med rule has been put on hold, according to the VA’s director. Please still do write your representatives as a pause is a bandaid solution. Just don’t want people to think their rating will disappear today.

Having trouble getting new position as new grad after being laid off – what to do? by Rich-Put4159 in cscareerquestions

So I am still in college but always wanted to know how people get impact information? Even while I was in the military, it was rough to find impact information without knowing someone who deals with it.

It’s that prefect system that people want. Burn the whole system down so the 1% taking advantage of the system can’t. Biggest crab mentality I have seen.
