Last 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…

And if IT use the Cisco management console, they get the location down to 3-7m diameter of every WiFi, Bluetooth, Microwave ++ that is using the same band as WiFi. I was earlier in a startup that made an indoor navigation map, where you could get the blue dot without installing anything, by using this Cisco feature: https://use.mazemap.com

The same way as pi, e and other constants, log(17) is just that. I never had to convert them to some decimal approximation in calculus classes Edit: Ok, I remember now there was a statistics exam when we had something like Student's t-distribution tabulated on the exam sheet but I had to scrape my brain to find an example, it does happen though

> The only time I remember needing a calculator in my entire education I’m not asking about calculus classes. You specifically said “my entire education” So you never needed to convert log(17) to decimal in your entire education? Or you just converted it by hand like the Neanderthals did?

Unfortunately they seem to have abandoned it on their newer models: I recently got a HP Prime and no RPN in sight afaict ( https://www.hp.com/us-en/campaigns/prime-graphing-calculator... ) .

Sure there is. Go to Settings and move down to Entry. Hit Enter and you get your choice of Textbook, Algebraic, or RPN. Go down to RPN, press Enter and then Esc. Presto, RPN.

One of my university teachers allowed us a double sided letter sized piece of paper during the exam and we could put whatever we felt like on it. This was brilliant because 1. In real life, you don’t memorize random facts. That’s what reference books and the internet is for. 2. Making the cheat sheet actually forced us to understand the material so they we could sum it up and for it on the page. By the time we were d…

Yes, focus rectangles are an essential component of navigating the interface with the keyboard.

Fair. But if a user has accessibility enabled, that should override the css itself no? Also even with the focus outline disabled on other sites, I am able to navigate with the keyboard to text input fields. OP's site doesn't have any input fields so not sure why they have that CSS in place as I don't think it's doing anything.
