Water resistance ratings of 30 meters don’t mean that you can dive with it up to 30 meters. Those ratings are related to static pressure tests.

Generally 30 meters shouldn’t be submerged, 50 meters is okay for swimming, above that diving is acceptable to certain limit. True diving watches start with 200 meters and preferably ISO diver's certification (which SKX has).

Sekhmet··on Show HN: Tamagui – React design systems optimized for native and web
Looks like gradient text isn't rendering properly on Chrome, because it's missing -webkit- prefix on background-clip.
Sekhmet··on Valve Steam Deck
In this video focused on developers (https://youtube.com/watch?v=5Q_C5KVJbUw at 5:54) they mention they are working with BattlEye and EAC to get it working prior to Steam Deck release. In my experience EAC was the reason that many games that were otherwise perfectly fine became broken because of anti cheat. This should make a huge difference.
Sekhmet··on The Teamsters announce coordinated nationwide project to unionize Amazon
> but "kill all the jews" merely resulted in their Head of Diversity getting reassigned

I think I’ve heard different story involving Head of Diversity, nowhere close to “kill all Jews”. Do you have source on that?

Sekhmet··on Coin Carbon Cap – PoW cryptocurrencies ranked by energy efficiency
> If one had Bitcoin in an exchange instead of an offline wallet, does that mean that when forks occur, the exchange does not give you coins in the fork?

In most cases you do get new coins post-fork. Exchange will announce whether they support the fork or not before it happens, so you can react.

Sekhmet··on The California Exception
I did the same thing.

As I'm in Europe I couldn't call them nor reach them via "instant chat" as hours it was open didn't make sense.

I liked the service and it wasn't that expensive, but after that whole cancellation UX I'm done with NYT forever.

Sekhmet··on How to present a GitHub project for your resume (2016)
I got my current job just with GitHub. I was asked to only show my GitHub profile. I didn't need resume at all. Some companies might not care about your GitHub, but they are always some that do.
Sekhmet··on Ask HN: What should I focus on to get my first internship this summer?
Thanks for this link.

I'm afraid I won't be able to attend GSOC this year. It requires you to be college student prior to 7th May. I finish secondary school this year, so I will officially become college student mid-July.

Sekhmet··on Ask HN: What should I focus on to get my first internship this summer?
Thanks for your interest.

Not really. I was training for the entrance test to military school and damaged my elbow. It's not serious for normal activities, though. Just can't push it too hard. I think I won't be operated on before the end of this year.

Sekhmet··on Ask HN: What should I focus on to get my first internship this summer?
I really enjoy programming, so I don't think I will regret getting some experience. I got injured during workout recently as well and I'm not able to do physical work, play most games or workout, so just not to waste time I'd love to get the internship.

Your competitor (Josh Pigford, creator of baremetrics.io) created post about why unlimited plans are bad. I think, that it will be nice to read for you. https://baremetrics.io/blog/never-offer-unlimited

Same thing here. I knew it that someone posted it already.

Sekhmet··on Ask HN: How can I add 10-15k to my annual income this year?
Isn't making money about doing something?

It's close imposible to get money without making something useful. If you are programmer your treasure is coding, so if working for someone else as freelancer is for somebody not good idea, because it won't make enough money and you have already full-time job, probably only another way is making something on your own.
