Feb 28 (Reuters) - An official from the European Union’s naval mission Aspides said on Saturday that vessels have been receiving VHF transmission from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards saying “no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz”.

The strait is the world’s most vital oil export route, which connects the biggest Gulf oil producers, such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.

The official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said Iran had not formally confirmed any such order. Tehran has for years threatened to block the narrow waterway in retaliation for any attack on the Islamic Republic.

Also, is my browser not loading it correctly or is this the whole article?

If so, I’m extremely impressed at the sheer amount of Journalism they’re doing here. A whole three lines of journalism? We’re not worthy!

Also, probably because the US/Israel might blow them up.

Yeah because the US/Israel might blow them up.

Iran has a right to defend itself.

He’s also aggressively liberal. Watching him discuss politics (which he loves to shoehorn into math/physics videos) as someone significantly left of liberalism is infuriating.

Could just be common American idiots, could be intentional bait to justify a full military invasion of Cuba.

No the true nerds know full well this is bullshit. Nerds need to bully wannabe fake nerds trying to use the nerd name to peddle their snake oil.

Just write the Rust build configuration as a Rust struct at this point.

Just put “Precondition: x must not be prime” in the function doc and it’ll be 100% accurate. Not my fault if you use it wrong.

10€ says he’ll still be first in line to enlist in the Greenland invasion.

How the fuck does a tech company as big as Amazon have this running in production and not a test/staging environment? This is the kind of mistake a platform run by one person makes and even then they probably won’t make it again.

Huh, something tells me that working in FAANG doesn’t actually make you a better engineer, they just have more money to not throw at R&D which somehow makes you feel superior to every other engineer 🤔

I wouldn’t recommend dual booting anything with Windows, especially if you’re not familiar with installing multiple operating systems. Windows will pretty frequently fuck up your boot settings when it updates because it doesn’t respect not being the only OS on your system and will cause way more problems than it solves.

My recommendation if you really want to stay on Linux is to run Linux as your only OS and then run Windows from a VM for the apps you absolutely need to use. VirtualBox or GNOME Boxes are good options if you want a regular Windows VM with little to no integration with the host Linux instance. There are also software that will create an experience like Parallels on Mac with Windows apps that appear as regular windows in your Linux desktop (I’ve heard about WinBoat but don’t personally use it so can’t say if I recommend it or not). For most games, Proton should have you covered.

If you want distro recommendations, I’d say Fedora or Linux Mint are good options for general users getting into Linux. If you do a lot of gaming, I’ve heard good things about Bazzite.

The easiest way would be to boot a live USB of a distro that uses the latest kernel (like Arch or Arch-based distros, OpenSuse Tumbleweed, etc). That way it’s temporary and won’t modify your current install. If you find that the latest kernel does solve your issue you can always install the distro you were testing with.

Every American who called Russians orcs better be getting ready to fully embrace that label.

Most of the world hates them

Just most of the white world

It’s significantly easier to make a third party GUI for a command line tool than to make a third party CLI for a GUI only tool because you’ll be working with an opaque binary that doesn’t have any public APIs.

And eventually one of those “prankster” influencers will vandalize it and ruin it forever just for one stupid video to ride the wave of interest in the location and make outrage click money.

CLI: Welcome back my friend, forgot a command or argument? Just type --help and read the super terse and bullshit free txt file in less time it takes for the GUI startup animations to finish. Too long? Type | grep to directly search for it in less time than it takes for the search button to expand and let you start typing! Realize you keep doing the same few steps? Just write a script instead of memorizing what specific sequence of buttons to click or hope that the GUI remembers where you left off! Need to tell a team member how to do something? Just send them the commands or a full script in chat instead of jumping on a video call and walking them through which of these abstract, indescribable icons they need to click which they’ll definitely get wrong and open some weird submenu you then have to tell them how to leave!

GUI: Ooh a GPU and gigabytes of VRAM just for my animations? You shouldn’t have! Ooh you mouseovered something for one millisecond while moving it to the actual thing you want? Let me lag the entire window and cover up the thing you wanted with this popup that takes longer to disappear the more irrelevant it is! Also none of the text in mouseover popups is selectable so you can’t copy from it even if you did need it (Visual Studio static analysis messages I’m looking at you). Still need help? Well you first have to find where the help button is if there even is one! We’re increasingly not including help files because it “should” “just” be intuitive. Or just watch a 10 minute video walking through how to do something that could have been two lines in the terminal, stupid! Want to automate something that takes like ten clicks because we hid everything in nested submenus to “avoid clutter”? Go ahead and install a third party macro suite and record your mouse clicks and movements that will break as soon as the next update drops and slightly shift the margins around!
