If your calculator has an equal key, it's shit.
If your calculator requires scratchpaper to arrive at an answer, it's shit.
If your calculator manufacturer actively prevents users from programming their devices, it's shit.
If your calculator requires you to spoon feed it the order of operations with nested parentheses, it's shit.
Why aren't you part of the RPN master race, /g/?
bcuz i dont give a shit about calculators
>>54240326
I use the 50g too, but the 89 has more software for it that can emulate a lot of the functionality. I think its solid.
Because I'm not in high school anymore.
>>54240326
There is no equal key on yours, what are you even talking about ? You need to press two keys to get it and even though what's the matter

It's not like you can't store information on a scientific calculator either, if the test is math related, what would the difference be? If you don't know how to do it you don't know how to do it, having a smartphone in front of you won't help you.

The calculators are given to the testing party before the test, the memory is emptied and the calculators are given out just before the test.

>>54240326
RPN? That's like #5 on the list of hipster bullshit that /g/ kiddies discover and desperately try to lord over others.
You're delusional. You may have a good reason to choose a RPN calculator. But you probably don't. You probably tote a RPN calculator the same way you wear a fedora. The same way to blow massive clouds with your vape pen. The same way you're superior because you know C, even though your classmates have made much more useful software in some 'lesser' language.

That's fancy. When I was in school, I put a TON of shit into my TI-84 and TI-92 calculators. Then again, the act of distilling the notes and tediously entering them meant I almost never needed to refer to them anyway...
Those clever teachers... Tricking me into studying in my attempt to exploit their obvious oversights.
>>54242257
It doesn't change the fact that if you don't know how to do it having the fucking textbook open in front of you is not going to help you during the exam/test or any kind of timed assessment.
>>54242353
It depends, if the person is a retard and haven't one minute to the exam then of course it won't do shit. If you have like a 50%-70% knowledge than a textbook whit good examples can help a lot
>>54242241
if the raspi zero still existed, I would make cheap RPN calculators using my quick and dirty RPN interpreter and sell them to nerds.
>>54242424
It doesn't?
>>54242457
no, they stopped making them because their profit margin was literally zero.
it doesn't help that the entire initial production run fell into the hands of scalpers who are selling them on ebay right now for $70 and don't even bother taking off the $5 price tag.
What kind of exam do you have, that they are afraid of cheating? You should have this kind of exercise on exam that even notebooks with internet will not help you solve in give time.
You know how to solve it or you do not. Only way you could cheat is allow you to make pic and sent it to somebody with more knowledge.
calc are not allowed only on meme introduction to calculus and linear algebra where you have to prove that you know how to solve it manually.
>>54242480
Shit, I wish I hadn't opened mine, never used it for anything. Might just flip it online
>>54242480
No they haven't stopped making them, its simply out of stock like the first model was when it came out. It took them like half a year to deal with the supply issues
>>54242192
You can emulate those fucking over priced calculators with an old phone.

>>54242319
Keystroke programming alone makes RPN useful for engineers. Being able to quickly input operations into the calculator and then create a program without any boilerplate or hassle is essential because of all the repetitive calculations engineers have to do. Say I was calculating the equivalent resistance of a resistor network: Series resistors is simply adding, but parallel resistances are a pain. Using the 50g, we can quickly throw a program on the stack in the same way we'd solve the problem normally: << INV SWAP INV + INV >> We can then store this into a variable, and use it with a soft key or even assign it to a key ourselves. Writing something like that on the ti89 would require opening the program "app", having boiler plate, and really calling the program would be so slow it would be easier just to input the calculations on their own. With RPN the program essentially behaves like a built in operator: We can solve resistor network by pressing one button for every resistor added to the network: 50 100 + 30 PRL 20 + 30 20 + PRL.
>>54241205
It's a calculator.
It doesn't need as much RAM as your gayming PC.
>>54240326

Man, yet another idiot angry over the fact that /g/ likes to discuss a thing that happens to be outside of today's norm, who refuses to even attempt to understand the advantages that said thing has over the more commonplace things within the same catagory.
I just don't understand what your problem is with a tool historically used in engineering being discussed on an engineering centric board?
Or to put it more accurately, a piece of technology being discussed on a technology board?
By the way, nobody buys calculators like these if they don't have a use for them. It just doesn't happen, There isn't a point.
So stop projecting your characteristics onto the entire thread and start being less of a fucking faggot.
>>54240326
I got my HP 50g a few weeks ago for $45. Before that I had a TI-89 Titanium that I got for $3 from a thrift store, and I still use that sometimes. I like the buttons on the 50g, they are very tactile.
Anyone else here have a blue TI 83
So, uh, in RPN mode on my 50g how do I go back and see what work I've done to make sure I didn't fuck up my calculations
>>54247904
Don't clear your stack then.
>>54248091
But using an operator on a set of numbers removes the numbers from the stack.
>>54248123
This. Seriously, how do I check my work after the fact in RPN? How do I reuse my old work for similar calculations on exams?
>>54248180
I think that I would like RPN if I were infallible.
>>54248180
press ENTER to copy your current value and push it to the stack.
just don't perform operations on it
>>54248321
If you have two operators you need to save this requires rolling though. It works, but it is a bit tedious.
Honest question, what's with the super shilling of the 50g that started immediately after it was discontinued? Is it just collectors trying to drive up the price?

It takes maybe fifteen minutes to an hour at most.
The 50g has a much better CAS system than TI or Casio too, it's much closer in functionality to desktop software like Mathematica or Maple.

It's nice, lovin' every log.
Keys are different than the classic HP keys of course. If I had to choose one strictly-RPN keystroke programmable calculator it'd be the WP-34s every time though. Or heck, the 41CX, I dunno.
Gotta catch 'em all.
>>54259767
Why can't we have a 15c wp34 fusion? Programmability of the 41 and non cancerous matrices of the 15c
If you guys like RPN and Forth you should check out factorcode.org, it's a pretty amazing modern up-to-date forth-like language, they hired the guy to develop Swift at Apple but he still updates Factor all the time.
Really great stuff.
>>54259804
We do, it's called the 42s. LOL.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oviVSOYKcXc
The problem with unlimited depth stack calcs is that you need a pick function and a way to view the stack.
The HP-48 series handles this perfectly IMHO.

So are you all still in high school? Why else would you still be using calculators?
>>54260043
there's a reason the main internals of HP's flagship calculator haven't changed since 1990.
Because nobody needs anything better.

>let the butthurt commence
I absolutely love this calculator. Just because its functionality makes things far easier than doing them by hand or on some manual shit like a TI-83 doesn't mean you don't understand math; I just don't want to manually adjust my window bounds or recalculate LSRL each time I make a change to a scatterplot.

During my final year of high school, the school started wiping the TI-84s of everyone whenever there was a maths test. It was annoying as fuck, because even simple stuff like quadratic formula solvers was wiped. Worse, you weren't allowed to use a graphic calculator for physics and chemistry tests at all, out of fear of students putting formulas in their calculators. The kicker was that you were allowed to use a reference book with general information and formulas for those tests.

No nostalgia, just because it's simpler than USB. It's a calculator, it's not like I need USB2 or 3 speeds, RS-232 is a better choice.
>>54280192
that's stupid.
I'm not even trying to insult your way of thinking, honestly.
Virtually 99% of devices today comply to USB standard. It's THE standard. Why would you prefer a device to use an outdated communication interface that is considered obsolete today compared to a widely accepted and used one?
>>54280268
I can DIY devices with RS-232 far easier than USB. It's not stupid, it's fact. USB is more complex. Yes USB ports are abundant, but so is RS-232. If I can choose either, I'll choose the one that's easier to work with, and that's RS-232. It's not like I can't still use my computer's USB port to connect to the calculator.
>>54280310
so...pointless backwards compatibility?
the thing is, RS-232 is pretty much non-existant on modern hardware. It's not going to make a comeback because it got replaced by superior solutions.
>>54280349
You keep ignoring the DIY part. USB's a bitch.
>>54280268
Because calculators are _stupid_ compared to most modern systems. A USB port will be too much for it and it will raise their already ridiculous high cost even more. (Though USB is generally cheaper than serial.)
>>54259702
I added a bunch of stack commands, how about now?
>>54280349
not original anon here but the ports being antiquated doesn't mean you lose support.
All the arduino-tier uCs use RS232 over USB, they are not sending USB frames to and from your PC over that cable.
Also, it's still the preferred method to talk to/program FPGAs, RF devices, and so on.
Talking about the standard here, not the cable and jacks (which are huge, old, and rarely used). It is much more difficult to put USB on an embedded board or even an emulated uP on fabric, and you need to maintain a characteristic impedance between lines which RS232 does not require (use any bare wires or cable)
>>54280393
well, seeing how TI monopolized the high-end calculator market, it's not really a surprise. They can hold it back however they want to and major universities will still require their students to get TI products
>>54280369
This, USB will never ever replace the humble serial port.
I can hook any computer with a serial port up to any ham radio ever made, new radios always come with one even now because hams are geek hobbyists.
>>54280393
>compared to most modern systems
The HP-50g has basically as many functions as Maple or Mathematica or Derive.
Because I pay a mathematician $300k starting to calculate for me.
The sad truth of the matter is that the kind of person who doesn't get why a device has a serial port won't ever need one, so it's pointless to argue with such a sad case, especially on a technology board.

You wouldn't believe how common old calcutators are at thrift shops.
I have a pile of smoky old 12Cs.
But my best find by far was a near mint condition 15C. Been in my bag for years now.
I wonder how many get thrown away by people thinking entering "2,+,2,enter" and coming out with 2, means it's broken.
>>54282288
>But my best find by far was a near mint condition 15C.
Dude so jealous.
But I've always wanted a 28S. 28C is really too limited. So glad to have snagged it today.
I'm trying to convert hex to decimal, it doesn't let me create a hex literal.
No matter what value I enter, R->B just returns # 1h.
I don't get it, it was working yesterday...

Fuck me, I'm gonna visit a thrift store some time and I'll be pissed if you're lyin to me boi
>>54282815
nevermind, i just used a paperclip, now it works
i still don't know why it did that tho
>>54282933
you'd have better luck at outdoor swapmeets
A couple weeks ago, I saw an 70s era HP calc for $5, but I didn't get it because I didn't know the joys of RPN yet.

If only /g/ had memed you up sooner.

Fuck off, nobody needs a graphical calculator in this day and age.

Why not ignore or hide the thread instead of shitting it up?
>>54286431
Because of your poor etiquette bumping this thread. I was quite happy to just leave it be and let it meander down the catalogue, but when you bumped this dead thread it went right to the top of the list, let it go, we are done with it. Better yet, turn on autosage

Graphing calculators are irrelevant today in the real world
keeping this thread bumped just to make these autists mad
>>54286577
Yeah, think of me when you have to recharge your mobile botnet platform for the umpteenth time only this week.
>>54287293
I use by mobile botnet platform for phone calls, email, etc
I use a computer to do large calculations like a normal person.
Go numerically estimate solutions to basic maths problems elsewhere
I have a TI-84+ that I got for school, and I haven't touched it once in the years since I graduated. Calculators don't offer very much special these days.

What is long battery life?
What is short startup time?
What is reliability?
>>54287548
What is a power outlet?
What is an SSD?
I don't even understand how there would be a difference in reliability.
