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).


The funny thing about the 200m WR rating on true diver's watches is that that's more than even 99.9% of divers are ever going to use. Recreational diving tops out at 40m (that's a deep dive!), let alone 200m. The actual number of people diving to deeper than that in an entire year, worldwide, is a 3 digit number.

Of course I say all that and yet I have a Seiko spring drive tuna 600m saturation diver, even though it's never been deeper than a few meters and very unlikely ever to do so. But the engineering is fun to appreciate even if it'll never do even 1% of what it's capable of.

Thanks, pushed a fix


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.


“Perfectly fine” for cheaters too. that’s the issue with anti cheat on Linux. It’s much easier to verify the integrity of a windows environment.


> 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?


"If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defence of myself,"

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57342967


That's a pretty bad statement, but not close to "kill the Jews".


Start by dehumanizing, right?


"Start by breathing" would be just as applicable and useless. A necessary precursor to an offense is not equal to an offense.


HN posters whose names start with a B should be concerned about their insatiable appetite for war and killing. Is this more useful? How about the fact that the whole thing is based on a lie to begin with?


I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say, but no, that's just as useless.

What 'whole thing' are you referring to being a lie?


It sounds like when someone says something bad about women you don’t care, but when they say something bad about the Jewish people you do care, and you are mad that anyone would think differently than you?


I am genially confused here. What are you trying to say?


"my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defence of myself,"

For a culture, that sounds like a feature, not a bug.

I don't hate the idea of FAANG unions, although I expect you just end up with two abusive quasi-monopolies instead of one. (Question: Why is Netflix in that group aside from the unfortunate new acronym?)


> (Question: Why is Netflix in that group aside from the unfortunate new acronym?)

Because they pay massive salaries, at the same level of the other companies.


FAANG is so constituted because at the time, all of those stocks were massively outperforming expectations, and the market in general.

“Diversity head” is a title inflation thing here. He was the titular head of some diversity research thing, not the head of Google’s diversity program; from what I remember, it didn’t seem like anyone at all reported to him.


That is pretty bad. It makes the (far-right Israeli-encouraged) fallacy of equating the desires of all Jews (who, like most people, simply want peace and prosperity) with the plainly destructive aims of a portion of the Israeli government and the Zionist diasporans who support their illegal, internationally-condemned activities.

No matter how much Likud ghouls et al. would like you to believe that they represent Jewish people worldwide, they don't, and of course we should condemn any attempt to pin on unrelated civilians, just by mere association of faith, the hundreds of killings and countless instances of human rights abuses and war crimes perpetrated by Israeli military and civil forces.


No, I don't think this person is committing any fallacies or anything else they just hate Jews.


Just because you insist on braindead reductionism doesn't mean that other people are also incapable of forming complex sentiments. Even the most abhorrent hatred can be examined for its core lie.


> 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.


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.


It's just testing the output. For benchmark each variant is run 5 times with kjvbible.txt as input and then the lowest execution time is used as benchmark.


In that case, unoptimized lisp for kjvbible.txt at 0.365 is 3rd fastest beating C


Do you have the same exact hardware that the article is using? Otherwise, we can't say one way or another on that with the data you've provided.

I'm also pretty certain the article is benchmarking against the 10x copy file for the actual benchmarks.

See this example command in the article:

    time $PROGRAM <kjvbible_x10.txt >/dev/null
So, even if you had the exact same hardware, I'm pretty sure your program would only be a bit faster than the unoptimized C# version. However, it's possible that your machine is a lot slower than what's used in the article, and your program is actually pretty fast -- but without more points of comparison, we just don't know. You haven't run the other benchmark programs on your hardware and posted the results.


It would be interesting to have the article author run the lisp code on their machine for a real comparison - would be very interested to see the results. My machine is a Linux (Ubuntu) laptop. I just sent an email to the author with the common lisp code - we'll se if he's interested enough to check.


It seems like he did. (Or may be someone else's. I didn't check the repo.) Common Lisp is the second slowest on his results table.

It works in Poland (tested few seconds ago).
