I use Calc84 on the Google Play store, free with minimal ads and a one-time fee to remove ads.

But it seems like others have found FOSS versions here.

It boils down to two broad categories for me:

1. How locked down the OS is on iPhones and iPads. We’ve seen recent progress (Safari extensions, retro console emulators), but we’re still far from a serious OS. iOS still lacks a proper file management system (especially for playing back local audio) and no side-loading is still a deal breaker.
2. Obscene markups for easily accessible parts. Apple still believes 8GB RAM is worth $200, and they believe 1TB storage is worth $800. I’d rather just get something with replaceable RAM and storage.

I never knew the word was used as a slur or had sexual connotations. I thought it was a verb akin to “nerf” or “cripple”, as in “Windows 11 gimped the taskbar functionality.” I guess this word is still bad, as I want to enhance, not “gimp,” my pictures.

Why is the coins to awards function logarithmic?

Right back at you!

Interesting, I memorize it in these batches:

The Twitter alternative created by the original creator of Twitter

English = green

Math = red

Science = blue

Social studies = yellow

It’s hosted on GitHub, but I really want to self host one day.

What other features are missing? I’m still pretty much a beginner so it can be very tricky to implement things.

0 is not a natural number. 0 is a whole number.

The set of whole numbers is the union of the set of natural numbers and 0.

I’ve had game and software ideas swirling around in my brain, but for the longest time I couldn’t program them. But now, I have enough knowledge to build parts of my grand deckbuilding game idea: An arcade style deckbuilding game with strong meta-progression. It’s playable at superspruce.org.

As for some other ideas, including the simple idea of a weighted shuffle music playlist where each song has its own weight, they are still currently out of reach, mostly due to trying to access the filesystem and whatnot. Better than a month ago, where within the last month I found out how to make the browser play music

Hey, Alphabet!

Want to know how to make a lot more money while being seen as the good guy at the same time, while not even lowering prices or adding costs?

Allow third party apps for premium users that can disable the BS

You will still earn the same amount of money from both free and premium users, while not being a dick. In fact, third party developers would be doing the work for you!

Additionally, having apps that can lower the engagement BS reduces your bandwidth costs!

You’ll get a crap ton more paying customers at the same time. I’d even become one.

If the excess energy cannot be stored, it should be used for something energy intensive like desalination or carbon capture.

Even Motorola thought that was dumb because I have separate toggles on my Android 13 Motorola phone, with the caveat that clicking turning off data gives me an “are you sure” prompt. I just bypass this with the airplane mode button, which is still thankfully 1 click.

Interesting, it kinda feels like the opposite is true for me, at least on mobile. In 4 years, I’ve gone from a 1.4GHz A53 SD425 to a 2.2GHz A78 SD695 SoC, a 6x increase in single thread performance in 4 years for me. I also during that time got a powerful laptop with a Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU.

Meanwhile, it’s still not unusual to see my Internet speeds drop below 1Mbps, often hovering around 100Kbps-300Kbps, on data or crappy university WiFi, which sometimes has a ping of no joke, 20000+ on my laptop when running Ubuntu. I can sometimes reach high throughput of up to 100Mbps, but when I don’t, my Internet speeds often chug.

I still have no idea what WASM really is. I’ve tried looking at articles but it still confuses me. I know how to use HTML, CSS, JS, and actual ARM assembly language at a basic level, but I don’t see how any of this could be used with WASM.

I read this article a few weeks ago and it sent me on a rabbit hole of web performance articles.

I think a good budget for basic websites (articles, landing pages, and small to medium functionality web apps) is what I call the “GZ250”, or 250KB of gzipped JavaScript, which is more than plenty. I picked this amount such that yesterday’s budget phones will be able to load the website in a few seconds at 1Mbps (and the name references my motorcycle).

For comparison, my full on games take way less than that. The Unscaled Incremental and Elemental Incremental are 52KB and 19KB of compressed JS respectively, and v1.0 of my new deckbuilding game is about 27KB. The unreleased V1.1 is massive but will still be around 50-60KB of compressed JS.

I don’t understand how an article uses 60x the script as my games, but cutting back to 6x would be a win for accessibility and efficiency.

Why? It’s pointless but not detrimental imo.

So change for the sake of change. The new icons are fine, and I even slightly like the revamp to the battery icon, but this is still just pointless.

Also, my near stock Android 13 phone already gives me haptic feedback when I long press the quick toggles, so this is not even a change.
