Obligatory Wristwatch Thread

[Clusterfrack]

It's probably just because I learned emacs first, which made using vi feel like trying to speak an unfamiliar foreign language, but I disagree with you intensely on that. Of course, I haven't used either in a decade+, and I very much preferred xemacs to emacs, but that's minor compared to the difference to vi.

Geek fight!

Vostoks look great on NATOs. Good thing too, because their bracelets are flaming hot garbage. Also, putting a Soviet-designed watch on a NATO strap is funny to me.

That *is* funny. Gotta say my experience with Vostok is the exact opposite to yours, though. My 2416B-based titanium Vostok somehow got to a point where the movement gains multiple minutes/day no matter what I do to the adjustments inside it, so the *watch* itself is now hot garbage (and for the price I paid for it, not worth paying someone to attempt a fix), but the bracelet, IMO anyway, always looked good and never gave me any trouble in the time I was wearing the watch. Titanium was a really cool material too - the whole thing, watch + bracelet, probably weighs less than either the Bulova I'm wearing now or the Lüm-Tec I wear most days.

Emacs. Wow, that takes me back to my UNIX days.

I'm still in my UNIX days, though I use it on Windows as well.

Fuck emacs. vi for the win.

I use vim when I just need to bop around a config file quickly, and I don't need the ability to handle multiple files at once, split windows, etc.

If you like vim keybindings but also want an editor that can competently handle software dev work, there's always evil-mode.

Watch picture to keep it on topic:



This watch rules. I don't wear it often now that I'm working from home though.

I am truly gratified I am not the only one who noticed that. I love this place.

This is, of course, the correct answer

Can I get an amen from whoever still uses RPN?

Some things my brain just can't grok; the "twin paradox" is one of them


RPN is the other (it also sound vaguely racist )

RPN. Of course. What else would we use?

For the Rolex Sub afficionados:





Best guess is a new movement to bring the sub to the levels of the Sea Dweller, Yachtmaster and GMT master II. Perhaps a new color (blue considering the title of the vid) and I wouldn't mind seeing the Oysterflex bracelet on the Sub since they seem made for each other.
