According to the #macos #calculator when in "programmer" view, 2560/1080 = 2. wat!?

Gonna have some help learning how to slide-rule

I found a kewl compact long-period clock for Minecraft redstone yesterday, but calculating the settings to get the period I wanted was a pain.

With a bit of HTML, CSS, and JS and an unknown amount of my evening, I am now +1 period calculator for said clock:

Context: I've been quite enjoying the puzzle aspect of Minecraft redstone when designing contraptions for a survival world I've been playing for the past ~1-ish years (I forget exact start date), and I wanted a cactus flower farm.

Cactus flower farms, according to the wiki, need a period of 34 minutes and 6 seconds.

Mondphasenrechner „Meton“, weiterer Prototyp: 3D-Druck, 3 Tropfen Leim, 3 Minuten Bauzeit. So langsam wird’s was.

@koehntopp Einen 58C habe ich auch noch auf der Liste; irgendwann wird er mich finden. Aber so schön Continuous Memory auch ist – neue Programme muss man dann halt doch mühsam eintippen und verliert die alten. Da sind die Magnetkarten des TI-59 zum permanenten Speichern (und schnellen Laden) von Programmen doch schon ne Ecke praktischer, denke ich … – Hast Du Deinen 58C noch? #TexasInstruments #ti59 #ti58c #calculator #pocketcalculator

Look what daddy got in the mail today!! A TI-59 from 1981! #TexasInstruments #ti59 #pocketcalculator #calculator

So, Projekt SR-56 vorläufig abgeschlossen. Alles funktioniert. Höchstens nochmal alles aufmachen für eine Grundreinigung innen. Und mal sehen, wie man die sichtbaren Blessuren kaschieren könnte. Vielleicht die Tasten retro-brighten? Der Batteriefach-Deckel ist 3D-gedruckt, weil‘s mit dem Original alles zu eng war. Die 1150 mAh des LiPo Akkus sind fast doppelt so viel Energie, wie die originalen NiCd Akkus! #TexasInstruments #Taschenrechner #Calculator #LiPo #restauration #sr56 #3dprinting

Showtime, witches and werewolves! Check out Meton, the virtual mechanical lunar phase and eclipse calculator!

I think I haven't shown my calculator here. Can you believe someone threw this in the trash? It works perfectly fine!

(And yes, as a fine arts student, it is my right and my duty to look for valuables in the trash, like a regular raccoon)

From my personal collection the Casio fx-82MS

“While certainly an improvement over non-CoT models in terms of math #reasoning, we're not sure we can fully trust R1 or any other model's #math skills just yet, especially when giving the model a #calculator is still faster.”

great article on #TheRegister testing #R1

Mondphasenrechner „Meton“: Auch wenn’s erst ein nur halb gelungener Prototyp ist - wer nachbauen mag, nur zu.

When our backup #pump failed on the #Oregon #homestead, I built a #calculator to figure out what we really needed. It’s a small, #opensource tool born from necessity and a few iterations with #SelfHosted #ai
