How bad is the #Texas #Appstore age verification law?
Let's just say you can't even download a #calculator #app without verifying your age.
Want more info on this law before it's to late? don't just scroll click onto this post a read the previous post to this.

Compound Interest Calculator: How It Works
Einstein supposedly called compound interest the eighth wonder of the world. The wonder isn't the maths. It's what 30 years of nothing does to £10,000.
⚡️ Zenless Zone Zero 3.0 stream, "Sleepwalker's Confession", airs on June 6 at 14:30 MSK.
Proxy will deliver the first full look at the season‑3 city Rozkelifera: the culture and customs of the "Sky Calculator", fresh gameplay systems, and the new agents Velina, Norma and Pirois. There's also a promised SURPRISE from the team's bonus lead, tune in.

As a child of the 70’s & 80’s, I’m far more comfortable with tech from that era. This even extends to the humble calculator. I really missed the TI-30 Galaxy that I had while at high school, and when I saw its big sis, the TI-52, on eBay for a reasonable price, I had to grab it.
It isn’t part of a calculator collection or anything, it gets regular use with my day job, and most importantly, it works the way I remember calculators of old working. I also loved the landscape format of the TI-52 and TI-30 Galaxy, and it works perfectly for the desktop. Just a stunning piece of design.
dc is the RPN arbitrary precision calculator that's long been a standard on UNIX systems (but not actually standardized by POSIX)
Yesterday a friend was noticing how .. weird .. it is with fractions in non-decimal radixes. gnu dc is particularly spectacularly broken, while bsd dc is somewhat better.
gnu dc failing: 16dio 8k .02p (set precision to 8 places, input and output radix to 16, and print 1/256(decimal)) prints "0". Ideally, it would print ".02". bsd dc prints ".020000".
bsd dc failing: 99k 3o 1 3 / p (set precision to 99 places, output radix to 3, compute 1/3, and print it). Ideally it would print ".1" or ".1000..." but bsd dc prints ".022....21"
This is because internally all dc arithmetic takes place in decimal; additionally, gnu dc incorrectly counts how many decimal digits of precision are needed.
So of course .. I wrote my own incomplete dc implementation. It uses Python and infinite precision fractions. Only the very basic operations are implemented, but at least you can calculate in hexadecimal floating point notation and get accurate results.

For now the code lives in my junk drawer and has no explicit license, but you can use it if you want. https://codeberg.org/jepler/junkdrawer/src/branch/main/bgj9ls82/dc.py
ooo look at this calculator!
from 2007 apparently. image from this kijiji listing: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-general-electronics/city-of-toronto/rare-lexon-roswell-calculator-2007/1728864874
