  1. Do the calculation
    I have accumulated quite a collection of calculators over the years, for school, for work, for fun. So long as the modern grid keeps going, they all work. But, maybe I should review the slide rule instructions, just in case. No batteries, no power, no internet. Just works.
    Here's a thought: will all calculation be done by AI in the future and, how should that figure in to math education? Teach analog technique.

  2. Meton - Virtual Mechanical Moon and #Eclipse #Calculator

    This awesome tool was created by prof. em. Thomas Weibel from Basel, Switzerland. Here is the beginning of the description from the website:

    "The metonic cycle is a period of 19 years corresponding to almost exactly 235 synodic lunar months or full cycles of #moon phases, named after meton of athens, a greek #mathematician and #astronomer from the 5th century bc."

    I love it :-)

  7. My old TI 84 #calculator got a new case and a new life! It now has a real #keyboard !
    I killed sooo many LEDs during the soldering but fortunately @fesix helped me fixing all my stupidities!

  8. #ReleaseThursday Happy to announce that thi.ng/units finally has a little CLI wrapper to perform not only simple unit conversions, but also more advanced calculations, using the existing Lisp-like S-expression based DSL and built-in units and constants.

    docs.thi.ng/umbrella/units/#cl

    The CLI also provides a list command to print out the 172 built-in units, their canonical symbol, any aliases and full names. The output can also be filtered via optional regexp pattern. See attached readme screenshots & more advanced linked example:

    mastodon.thi.ng/@toxi/11604322

    Hope some of you find this as useful as I do! Any questions, please ask!

  13. Părintele Selafiil, Scrisori din Siberia: Sunt vremurile de sfârşit! Pacea în lume va fi, curând, un lucru rar Să ştii că grozăvia cea mare va fi un război între toate marile puteri ale lumii, şi va fi atâta foc şi prăpăd peste toată omenirea, că mulţi vor vrea să se fi aflat în pământ, în morminte.

  14. 🚫 Oh, look! An #exclusive #calculator that you're *not* allowed to see. Casio's grand showcase of "Access Denied" is the height of modern digital elitism. 🎉 Because nothing screams premium more than a website that's as locked down as Fort Knox. 🔒

  15. This was pretty wild. A prototype HP-18C calculator with snazzy clear plastics.

  16. Last night I took apart a #TI-Nspire CX (aka Firebird_Color) #calculator.

  18. Recent thrift store find, an Olivetti CBC-80 chequebook #calculator. I've ignored similar devices in the past as uninteresting but this one grabbed me. Maybe the 80s styling, or maybe because it's obviously a #Canadian edition, with English/French labelling and the correct spelling of "chequebook". Need to find a manual though, haven't yet figured out how to use the cheque balance functions.

  19. Let's be honest, I'll never be able to afford one of those handmade Japanese lacquerware Casio calculators. (Sigh) But I was able to get this gorgeous Casio Mini CM-602 from 1973 for $26! Look at that beautiful VFD! It also has a feature I've never seen before, hardware selectable precision. You can flip that switch on top to decide if you want zero or two decimal places. Very cool! #casio #calculator #retrocomputing

  20. wtf #apple. #Calculator in the spotlight search does not work correctly. Note that I added parenthesis because it have not worked without them either 🤣

  30. Added, updated & simplified the growing collection of darkroom-related calculators and super happy how elegant and concise the code has turned out, making it super easy to add more of them in the future.

    I think it's also another great, if minimal, example to illustrate how otherwise completely separate thi.ng/umbrella packages can seamlessly compose/combine to enable a reactive dataflow UI, all without the need for any virtual DOMs and/or completely over-the-top frameworks like React & co. It's also doing so via mostly JS-native data structures for declaring the UI (plain objects/arrays/iterables) and various constructs directly managing the reactive value streams, thus providing a lot more finegrained control over UI updates/timing/throttling). Any value changes done by the user only trigger specific, pin-point calculations which then result in equally specific UI updates to show new results. Any user action only ever triggers the minimum amount of work needed to reflect the new state.

    Calculators:
    demo.thi.ng/umbrella/darkroom-

    Source code:
    codeberg.org/thi.ng/umbrella/s

    The attached images show the source code of the entire main app (UI root) and one of the calculators...

    Ps. Please let me know if you'd like to see more of these posts in the future. I'm tempted to launch season 2 of #HowToThing (see link below for 30 previous mini projects/tutorials) — but since this is very time consuming to produce & document these projects/examples, and because there has been _very little feedback_ to these previous projects/posts, I first need to gauge interest... Thank you! 🫶
