So, I am thinking about calculators more. Whenever it isn't sunny and I don't have an urge to hang around with Rosario, I may put what I think into code, too ;-)
But anyway congrats to Ariya and mpyne since their calculators are already pretty good (haven't tried Zack's yet, I have no ruby).
But I still have some tricks up my sleeve!
From Speno's Pythonic Avocado.
OK, so several have figured out that UseCalc is in large part a spoof on usability research.
Too bad it didn't cause the response I wished for, which was some reasoned usability explanation for why calculators are done that way.
On the other hand, it turns out several people like Usecalc and have proceeded to reimplement it in other languages, and with different interfaces.
Which is quite good, too, even if it surprised me a little. Now I have to think about it, too. I mean, maybe there is real potential for the thing.
You know, some things are usable. Some things aren't. Read on, to see one that isn't and one that (I think) is.
