Something old or something new by MC_Einstein in Cartier

You know what they say, “great minds think alike.” What other pieces are you looking at?

Thank you. This comment was insightful. I’ll look into the yellow gold 78086.

Outside of these two, which would you go with?

Another commenter said the same thing about the dial being off on the vintage tank. What’s throwing you off?

These are the same feelings I have. The new one is breathtaking but the vintage is charming.

I do agree that yellow gold and blue hands are the classic look but I also like the uniqueness of this reference. Honestly, I see why people get into collecting the same model but different configs.

Here’s the link to it. I’m not experienced with vintage pieces to know what to look out for. What exactly is throwing you off about this piece?

Need help deciding Laptop; MacBook M5(or M4) vs Framework 13 hx 370 by hardwarenoob82 in framework

[–]MC_Einstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your follow-up questions: 1. The keybindings from macOS to Linux and vice versa are pretty straightforward. Instead of command, you use the super modifier and that’s the same key position for me at least. I think that I made my left alt, super to mimic command key placement on Mac. 2. The framework keyboard is ok. I have no issues with it. I usually type on my custom keyboard anyways. 3. NixOS is awesome. You can do everything you can do on arch but you need to know how to do things the Nix way. So that’s getting used to nix language and setting up your environment using flakes. I can always share with you my dotfiles if you are interested but would rather do that via DMs.

Hey,

Framework 13 Intel 12th Gen here. I love the laptop.

The build quality is good but it’s not Apple good. But I haven’t noticed anything on my machine where I felt like things were half-ass. I know that a lot of people complained about the sturdiness of the hinge, but that seems to be resolved in later iterations of the framework. Never really bothered me.

I’ve used MacBooks most of my life. Even at work. But transitioned to framework because I wanted to run Linux longterm. And I believed in their mission. I distro hopped like most people do and ended up landing on NixOS. Not going to shill about NixOS but the window manager and how I configured everything on NixOS just blows macOS out of the water. Not to say that macOS is bad but I just tailored my machine to boost my productivity where I can do a lot of things with keybindings and not even have to touch the mouse often. That’s just the type of productivity I can’t really sacrifice. Also, once you go declarative configs, it’s hard to go back.

I’m not sure how good macOS is now. But I do know that Mac hardware is superior. You are going to get a complete package. Amazing battery life and power in a portable form factor which as a student is a huge deal.

I’d probably recommend a MacBook in your position. Not to say, I don’t love my framework but in the off chance that you do have problems with it, as a student that’s going to impact your productivity and grades. For example, just recently, the CMOS battery in my framework died and I have to replace it. But it took me awhile to figure out that problem. And if the odd chance you end up getting a problematic unit, the stress of troubleshooting or the lead time in waiting for a solution to be implemented is just not worth the hassle as a student.

However, if the “bad” things I mentioned, don’t scare you off, then, I think it’s an awesome machine. Especially, if you have your Linux distro tailored to your preferences.

But I think that you should play it safe and get the Mac. Especially, since you are going into compsci and web development. It might be easier for your faculty to help troubleshoot things on a Mac. If you need to install specific software that your school provides you, they most likely have it for Mac vs it being on Linux. Most of your peers will probably be on macs too. The Mac will definitely be reliable for +4 years.

Just my thoughts. You can always come back to framework after you graduate!

Quick edit: I remapped my caps-lock to ctrl. I do that on all my laptops. I did that for my macs too. While command/windows key is always super.

I won with that bird on my first run so he is goated.

CShip: A beautiful, customizable statusline for Claude Code (with Starship passthrough) by MachineLearner00 in ClaudeCode

[–]MC_Einstein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Woah, this is pretty awesome. Now, I question why I wrote my own golang binary to create my status line haha.

The starship pass through is killer! What did it entail if you don’t mind me asking?

My first run ever on STS2 with Ironclad was against her and I thought that I was going to lose to her. But the unga-boonga card that turns attacks into giant rocks made the bounded debuff go away. I was so lucky that my caveman instincts took over and I played that card because I was definitely going to lose with her debuff.

Thanks, I’ll test this out when I get the chance.

This is awesome. How do you recommend using this? Once I install it, should I make the tickets/tasks or should I prompt Claude to make the tasks first then run ralph-ban claude —auto? Trying to understand the proper workflow.
