Hm, maybe posting this to HN wasn't the best idea...?

Maybe we'll get a follow-up on hosting a distributed cluster of casios to handle global load balancing

Perhaps vertically scaling this on a Casio FX-CG50PRIZM is an option?

Well Casios are better than TI calculators. My current favorite calculator is Casio ES-115 PLUS2 https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ESPLS2-Advanced-Scientifi... I like it because when you enter sin(pi/12) you get (sqrt(3)-1)/(2*sqrt(2)) in mathematical notation, which is really nice for a $16 calculator. Here I'm going to hurt TI: If you need a TI-84 or TI-89 for school, the place to get them cheap is shopgoodwill.co…

TI is pretty clearly just coasting on being the one mandated by a lot of schools; there's no way you can justify them still costing like $100 and having the same capabilities as when I was in high school.

Agreed. For basic maths, the best scientific calculator is the fx83. The ES 115 is based on it. The graphics and controls and navigation is really good. Nothing comes close.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

How many Casios can you fit in a U1 rack?

The calculator's dimensions are: 21.3 x 87.5 x 180.5mm A 1U rack comes in various depths, let's assume 1m (1000mm), and the width between rails is about 450mm. 1U is around 44mm in height. So in 1U, you could stack them 2 high, 5 wide, and 5 deep (this leaves a little wiggle room for cables and such), or 50 per 1U, or 2100 in a 42U full rack.

Hah! That’s production ready if you ask me.

op just need to add some cache servers in front of it and it'll be fine, impressive
