• Students, what features would you like to see on Windows 12?

  1) a scientific calculator with history and variables with a UI similar to https://sourceforge.net/projects/alt1-calculator/ that also can do units like https://qalculate.github.io/ 2) a tiny text chat direct message program that is similarly as easily accessible at Atl1 3) a minimalist dock of as many instances you would like similar to https://punklabs.com/rocketdock, and like where WIN opens the start menu, WIN...

• Paint on Windows is getting layers and transparency support

  Qalculate is my go-to for cross platform calculator that is useful and is not limited to the most basic +-*/ operations. https://qalculate.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Keisan Casio is shutting down

  If you want a self-hosted replacement for Keisan I strongly suggest looking at Qalculate! https://qalculate.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• GNU Units

  I personally use Qalculate (https://qalculate.github.io/), specifically their CLI version for this purpose. I'm not sure how well it compares to GNU Units, but it works well enough for my needs; and it's fairly simple using English-like syntax. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Ask HN: Do you still use a hand held/desktop calculator?

  On the terminal, I use `qalc`[1]. It's a nice natural language calculator that does arithmetic, solves quadratic equations/linear systems, does unit conversions and even a bit of calculus. Combine it with a cli graphing tool and you can do pretty cool things. Anything more complicated I'm probably ok with latency, so I open up wolframalpha and enter it there, again, in natural language. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• [Conversion] I need an explanation for this question please

  Btw, download qalculate.github.io and play around with it a bit. I use it for basically all the physics I do. Complete lifesaver. Source: 10 months ago

• Calculator for sway

  Personally I use http://qalculate.github.io/ since I end up having to do unit conversions often, it's pretty handy for that. Source: 10 months ago

• Here's the minimum time it'll take to overflow the "Total damage" variable on the dummy target

  Btw: http://qalculate.github.io/ is nice. I use CLI version to fix my general math incompetence. Even does units nicely, for example, "how long it would take to download 82GB game on 50Mbit connection":. Source: about 1 year ago

• A sensible NixOS Xfce desktop configuration

  Mate Calculator: Seems a bit basic, when you can do so much more with Qalculate! https://qalculate.github.io/. Source: about 1 year ago

• This week in KDE: The best Plasma 5 version ever

  Https://qalculate.github.io/ <- this calculator is great! It has reverse polish notation (RPN) capability. Really, everything you might want in a calc program (and a plasma widget is available too). Source: over 1 year ago

• Good scientific calc for windows?

  Have a look at Qalculate. It's a pretty decent calculator app rather than a fully fledged mathematical or programming language. It can do algebraic calculations and graphing as well as matrices and vectors and calculus. It's also open source, so it's free. Source: over 1 year ago

• Try it ;3

  Qalculate can do 40 000 000! ≈ 3.776664041 × 10286710624 but it takes about 40 s and a gigabyte of memory. I can’t be bothered pushing it much further than that. Source: over 1 year ago

• 'qalc' is awesome!

  I agree!!! It has gui versions, qalculate, but (of course) I prefer the cli version. The website is https://qalculate.github.io/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I made a web-based notepad with a built in unit calculator

  Note: I had this response typed up but didn't submit... One related app that I absolutely love is Qalculate![1] (yes, it has a built-in exclamation for default enthusiasm :) ) It can do cool stuff like converting N (newtons) to kg.m/s^2 when you specify units as ?kg. It also converts units like 1kW x 1year = 31.55... GJ It's fantastic for engineering and specially back-of-envelope calculations. This notepad aspect... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What's your favorite free software for Engineering?

  Qalculate can do RPN on windows. It can handle units and do algebra and it's open source. Source: over 1 year ago

• What do I have to worry about if i am to install and use the Google Calculator on a deGoogled LineageOS?

  One of the best (the best according to many folks) calculators: . Qalculate! - the ultimate desktop calculator . ....http://qalculate.github.io . . An Android dev thread and repo (in case you want to get involved): . ....Thank you! 😃 - Next: Android, please.... Source: over 1 year ago

• [Help] How to solve equations in gnome-calculator?

  I suggest you get another calculator - I would recommend: Qalculate! https://qalculate.github.io/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Why on earth is my calculator app using 67 megabytes of compressed memory?

  I was about to say "I just wish Qalculate would work on a Mac", but apparently someone actually got around to creating a homebrew port: brew install qalculate-gtk. Source: about 2 years ago

• TIL that Texas Instruments has gone back and forth on how their calculators handle implicit multiplication with ambiguous notation, e.g. 8÷2(2+2). Different products will give different answers.

  The example in the link was specifically ax/by. And my favorite calculator, Qalculate!, treats implied multiplication differently:. Source: about 2 years ago

• does anyone know how to get the linux calculator on windows? or if something similar has been made for windows?

  Qalculate or SpeedCrunch. Both are available for Windows. Source: about 2 years ago

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

  This is very similar to qalculate[1]. It shares a lot of the same features and design decisions [1] http://qalculate.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
