• Ti84 Plus CE glitch

  My go-to recommendation for an RPN calculator is Free42 (https://thomasokken.com/free42/). It's available for Android, IOS, Mac, Windows, Linux. So you can use the same calculator everywhere. It emulates the real HP-42S calculator very closely, so if you happen to own a real HP-42S, you can switch back and forth without friction. If you don't want to pay the extortion prices for a used HP-42S on eBay, you can pick... Source: 5 months ago

• Casio fx-CG50 calculator comes with Python built-in

  HP15C is amazing but so is the HP42 and HP35S, with the 42 in particular considered by some people to be the best scientific calculator ever made. I have an HP35S which is great. I also have a swiss micros DM42[1] which is an absolutely fantastic calculator based on the Free42[2] opensource emulator. It's much more powerful than the HP42 while remaining 100% compatible. The only downside is the keys are quite a... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• 300 dollars?!? 💀 I can buy a Xbox Series S with that

  $275, swissmicros, SwissMicros DM42 w/ case. This is the best, most accurate dedicated handheld calculator on the market hands down. Runs Free42, which is an enhanced HP 42S calculator simulator app written by Thomas Okken. Paid retail bc early models had issues and I’ve been a good little boy and deserve a treat. Market is $150-200. Source: about 1 year ago

• Iconic calculator. I am still trying to get my head round RPN but it's such a lovely device to play with!

  But then I found it was hard going from RPN to the “normal” way my iPhone calculator works. Now I have the Free42 app. No more confusion. https://thomasokken.com/free42/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: All desktop calculators are wrong, so I had to build my own

  Have you seen Free42, "...a re-implementation of the HP-42S Scientific Programmable Calculator and HP-82240 Printer?" [0] It is available for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. (At one point there was even a version available on Windows Phone 8.) Perhaps it checks your boxes of good RPN calculator, available on all platforms. I don't know how much an HP-42S feels like a 41C. In any event, thank you for ralc.... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

  Chocolatey Windows software management solution, we use this for installing Python and Deno. - Source: dev.to / 18 days ago

• Giving Kyma a little spin ... a SpinKube

  Authenticating with Kyma is a (in my opinion) unnecessary challenge as it leverages the OIDC-login plugin for kubectl. You find a description of the setup here. This works fine when on a Mac but can give you some headaches on a Windows and on Linux machine especially when combined with restrictive setups in corporate environments. For Windows I can only recommend installing krew via chocolatey and then install the... - Source: dev.to / 25 days ago

• Need Help with getting Haskell onto my Windows Laptop

  I've used WSL2 and GHC/Nix--worked without any issues. However, there is Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/. Source: 5 months ago

• Python Versions and Release Cycles

  For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be... - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
