- sammy2255Love speedcrunch it has been sitting on my taskbar for many years always my go-to for quick scratchpad for equations, etc.
- unanimousThis is nice to see, and it looks like this release (and maybe some earlier ones?) includes a small order of operations bug fix that hadn't been released for a long time. 1/2(-9.8) now equals -4.9 rather than -0.05102040816326530612. I like how the expression also renders with a multiplication symbol to clarify: 1 / 2 × (−9.8)
- jiehongList of changes for this calculator [0].I used to use it quite a bit, but I now gravitate towards numbat instead [1].[0]: https://www.speedcrunch.org/download.html[1]: https://github.com/sharkdp/numbat
- borner791Amazing! This is the most useful calculator.. bit shifts..radix conversations...I've been using it for years after struggling missing the windows 2000 calculator.
- smusamashahI recently opened a github issue about the system UI looking dark. I got a response an hour later which appears to be AI written, I responded to it and it looks like my request has been accepted.I absolutely do not mind it being AI driven. I have not seen this before in this. The response was not slop, just very formal and verbose.I use speed crunch almost every day mostly to see bits and bit shift operations visually. It's just strange to see requesting feature, getting an automated further inquiry, and then a response that yeah that sounds good to do.

- ameliusI also recently made a fairly complete scientific calculator. I first asked Claude what functions it would put in it, then I made some modifications (added complex numbers), and told it to write the calculator. It looked perfect in one shot. This is really how simple this kind of thing has become.
