I thought CM had some example code on how to override the tab behaviour. Might be worth checking out as I agree it sucks to not have tab = indent 4 spaces
2 spaces! (ducks) (but srsly)
Actually you are right :)

#222Looks good!

I've found that a super simple way to parse basic expressions is a recursive descent parser. It is very simple to implement. No need to to break into tokenizer/parser, no need to generate an AST, just evaluate the expression while parsing.
Do you have an example of a simple parser like that?

Even includes error handling :)
At the bottom you can see some test examples of what it can do. Obviously it is a basic calculator.

#224There are a few bugs as people have mentioned but the currency support is a huge win for me. Thanks for making this!
Glad you like it! Working on the bugs today

> It's true of source code but not artifacts. That's simply not true. Please don't do stuff like this—to go off and make these kind of proclamations in public. It's negligent at best.
Just when I thought I understood the MIT license, I'm back to confused. Can you link me to where this is clearly outlined? Do you need to attribute somewhere in artifacts or not?
Not sure what you want. A link where this is clearly outlined? The license is two sentences and sets out the terms.
The repeated distinction between source code and "artifacts" in this context is pure make-believe. The license doesn't even have those words in it, let alone say something like "Redistribution and use in source form requires inclusion of this permission notice and the above copyright notice, but if you're just building a product and publishing it as non-source code artifacts instead of distributing source, then lol don't worry about it bro" (or whatever it is the people here seem to think).
The CodeMirror maintainer definitely expects people who build closed source stuff to include the notices that are in the CodeMirror LICENSE file. And anyone telling you the license doesn't require this (and e.g. this is a peculiarity of CodeMirror itself) is delusional.

#226The docs say that this is using CodeMirror. The CodeMirror license says that you're allowed to use CodeMirror for your stuff, but that stuff has to in turn include: 1. the copyright notice 2. the text itself that explains that you/others have this permission/obligation Currently, it looks like NumPad isn't doing either. From comments here, NumPad is evidently also using decimal.js, which has similar terms.
Both are MIT licensed, I don't think this is the case.

I think that second part is relevant to the discussion.

MIT makes no distinction between source and artifacts. The requirement to include a notice stems from any distribution of the software.

#228That's really cool!
Anyone knows if there's a way to have this feature in Joplin[0] ?

#229Re: Show HN: I made a web-based notepad with a built in unit calculator
#230It's very nicely done, but I'm afraid I don't "get it" with things like this and written out calculators in general. Why would I type out something long like: " Alice's food = £30 Bob's food = £25 VAT = 20% Alice's food + Bob's food + VAT " Rather than just punch (30+25)*1.2 straight into a calculator?
I can see this being useful as a narrative document for collaboration. Explaining to someone how a business process might work given x/y/z pricing. Easy to embed the "why" aspects of things but also it autocalcs things so they could play with the numbers and see the change in impact. Some people can "think in spreadsheet" (I'm quite happy there) but that's not the best medium for everyone.
