Breaking News: Windows 8 / 10 calculator removes Natural Log (ln) button
-
It is not vey much different that many hardware calculators that have a SHIFT button...
Philippe Mori
Except all those calculators that have a shift button also have the names of the shift-functions above the button to which they are assigned. That simple bit of design would have given all the context in the world to the up arrow, which, by itself, means nothing on a calculator.

It was a possible with the Windows XP calculator at least. I don't remember if it got removed with Windows Vista/7 or later. I thought it was still possible with Windows 7 though, but I might be wrong here.

Have you noticed that the ln (natural log) button is removed from Windows 8 / Win 10 calculator? You can see the (original - win xp, win vista, win 7) had it. Old Windows Calculator (image)[^] Why they remove that? Oh, here's the terribly useful Windows 10 doc on the calculator. Ugh! Calculator in Windows 10[^] X| If you find the ln button in the Windows 10 calculator, please let me know. I need to calculate a natural logarithm immediately if not sooner. :laugh:

The problem seems to be between the desk chair and the keyboard. I had no trouble finding it :)

The best thing about is: You can't calculate anything with decimals if you're in programmer mode... You have to switch to another mode for that. X| I prefer one mode for all purposes instead of being forced to switch to different modes. Whoever thought this was a grand idea needs to be slapped as well.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

IIRC there is a section (can't recall which) in Charles Petzold's book "Programming Windows", where he writes "No one said it would be easy".
But Petzold was talking about programming! not using!
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Yes, Sander. You are a Genius of a whole other magnitude, because you could find this. :D Does that affirm you for today? See you tomorrow. :laugh:

That's Microsoft's new Marketing tag line. Then, everyone in the audience replies: No one! :laugh: You are right and someone edit (I don't see that post now??) :confused: pointed that out just about the first thing. This is how Google makes Microsoft obsolete in every way. :rolleyes: or :cool:? Not sure. :)

I think you nailed it with this. Some junior dev or intern who was like, "yeah, that's my responsive design...hiding stuff unless the stupid user moves unknown stuff around..."

I shouldn't be at all surprised if that's really what they think responsive design means. "Oh, it means that you see more if you make the window bigger!" yup. And the best part is that these **Great** **Upgrades** are forced on everyone.

Haha Win 3.1 Great stuff. Miss it so much. :(( Those were the days of .ini files and the desktop you couldn't use unless you had desktop dropper shell, which became popular just months before win95 released, then everyone forgot about it. desktop dropper[^]

I have been calculating the timing values for machine code routines recently and ran into that problem.
