Anecdotally true: when my non-technically-inclined parents ask me why I'm working on my personal projects, I vaguely mumble something about "it'll be good for my resume" and try to change the topic.

I definitely do not think these will benefit my resume in any way.

If you want to pick on a company for strange naming, Sony is a great choice. WH-1000XM3, WF-1000XM3, Xperia 1 III, etc.

His sister shared the secret project with the "unauthorized person" (the tipster).

FWIW, I've been using syncthing for 3 years now and have never had any issues with git repo syncs.

Why does a church have a security department, especially one that staffs so many people? The article states that most of them work desk jobs, which probably means they aren't running physical security at individual churches, so what kind of threats does the church overall face?

I have a small server that some of my friends have accounts on. When they accidentally (or not!) try to use sudo (often this happens with a "curl | sh" thing) I like to be informed.

Why would they be fired, if they were one of the top 50 people in the bank? From a pure profit perspective, if this guy was that good, did it really matter if he was using 'sophisticated algorithms' or not?

I believe the keyboard support in iOS is thorough due to the iPad Pro and its related keyboard accessory.

This comment is written in bad faith - generally on HN we try to take what people say at face value. They said they research far-right extremism professionally. The good-faith interpretation is that they do this as part of their job, as that is what "professionally" means.

That's not title case - you don't capitalize words such as a, the, of, etc. unless they are at the beginning of the title.

This is classic HN: "This useful resource does not include $MY_PREFERRED_TECHNOLOGY, therefore it is bad."

Probably because people are willing to pay a small price (tourists and business travellers are cost-insensitive).

Download, print, and store them in a safe or safe deposit box. It's not like people lose their phone often.

They probably worked together in the past. This kind of comment is pretty common on HN.

There is this configuration: https://github.com/LGUG2Z/helix-vim

This switches most keybinds to be vi-like.

Correct, it is APFS since 10.12 or 10.13 (so, 6 or 7 macOS versions/years).

That website is still up.

It's a shame you're being downvoted for this, especially when the reference (or the reference's author) is one of the more highly-upvoted suggestions on the yearly book recommendation thread on HN.

If you're on a laptop model, you use the laptop's keyboard or mouse. I believe that for desktop models, if there is a keyboard or mouse plugged in at startup, it does not prompt.

> It all works if real estate prices keep rising, if the owner can get one tenant to replace another without any vacancy, if the rules of the game remain the same and if the mastermind can manage the accounting nightmare of dealing in and keeping track of so much unsecured debt. It fails if any one of the many participants fails to play their part, or if any of the conditions change.

This sounds like a pyramid scheme, doesn't it?

Which Stephenson are you referring to?

You have far more karma than required to vouch for a flagged post.

In that case, only using ANSI SQL will help (i.e. no vendor-specific queries).

On HN, it is generally considered polite to add a disclaimer to a post where you discuss your own company.

I'm not sure what the confusion is here. Capitalism is not anarchism. Capitalists generally recognize the value of contracts, do they not?

Slickdeals is the (American?) equivalent https://slickdeals.net/ .

I don't think there's that option, but the page does work well with reader mode.

An Amber alert is an alert sent out by the local authorities in the US to all smartphones (and maybe radio? I'm too young to use a radio often) when a child is missing / suspected to be abducted.

A Silver alert is very similar and is sent out when an elderly person (esp. with memory issues) is missing.

Arm was a joint venture between Acorn and Apple and another company whose name I forget. It's not unreasonable to think that Apple might have some special benefits due to that.
