I keep eyeing these calculators but can’t really find an excuse to buy it. But now . . .

#142Last year I bought I used TI for my daughter who needed it for school. I got her the oldest version, the one which takes AAA batteries and communicates with the outside world through a serial link. A project like this brings to mind the possibility of stuffing a Raspberry Pi Zero in the battery compartment, hooking it up to the school WiFi, using a terminal app on the calculator to communicate with the Pi and in that…
Here someone figured out how to drive the LCD screen from one. https://ripitapart.com/2013/03/02/making-use-of-an-old-ti-83...

Oh man, Beowulf clusters, I forgot all about those. How come we never hear about them anymore?
"Running MPI programs on a cluster of commodity hardware" was perhaps a sufficiently novel idea to warrant a unique name back in the 90s, but these days it's more or less the standard for all but the most exotic and expensive of scientific computing... and even those expensive custom supercomputers tend to still be x86 processors running MPI code. Basically you don't hear about them any more because it's all Beowulf…
I think the "Beowulf" name (the name of the first well known computer cluster) was mostly a Slashdot meme. As Slashdot faded, so did the name "Beowulf".

#146The author seems to have their own AS for "experimentation purposes" https://tbspace.de/as203478tbspacenetworks.html https://bgp.he.net/AS203478 https://www.peeringdb.com/net/10981 I've always been interested in doing something like this, although it's prohibitively expensive for me, even for IPv6-only.
I walked through doing this with my AS (AS398328) in the US (ARIN), both for fun and for security research. Happy to chat with anyone who wants to go through the process, it was probably $1-2k in total for ARIN fees to get the AS and v4/v6 space. Real transit is a lot worse though.

#149Well 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…
Cleaned url: https://www.amazon.com/Casio-fx-115ESPLS2-Advanced-Scientifi... Thank you so much for pointing out fx-115ES PLUS2! I looked for a good hour yesterday trying to find an alternative to the fx-115ES PLUS (first edition) with the same features, after Casio discontinued the original. I'm honestly embarrassed that I had overlooked this... I do absolutely agree that Casio calculators are just wholly better than…
They're amazing little machines. I have a predecessor to that model, whose battery still works since purchased new for my school year starting in 2000. It's not solar-charged, either.

In my high school physics and math classes, we were allowed to run any programs that we programmed ourselves. This was on Ti-84s so BASIC not Python. Given the context, it made a lot of sense.
When I was in HS, at the exams we were expected to use our TI-84+ calculators, but we were not allowed to have any programs of our own, so they made us clear the programs before they handed out the problems.
Which you could work around by archiving and then unarchiving the programs. I remember having to do a soft factory reset for one class before exams, rather than just clearing programs. At least they took the policy to its logical extension
