  Is this a shitpost? I feel like this is a shitpost for a joke everyone is in on except me.

    I don’t get it either, but the 3 millilightseconds thing is (I think) a reference to the classic 500-mile email story.

  I love how new versions of the CLI have the result automatically update as you type. Nice to see people going above and beyond to make CLI’s pleasant!

  Looks cool!

  But I gotta ask: what is the deal with your font making all the I’s and L’s bold? :(

    I’m using Termux on android and I guess that it’s compensating for smaller screen?

      Please get Termux: Styling and change that font 🙏

    Oh boy is it junk though. It just supports calculation, not conversion or anything fancy

      It supports conversion. It’s almost all I use it for.

  qalculate is really nice. I even use it on Windows Enterprise installs that normally only have the old Windows 8(?) calculator included since the Microsoft Store isn’t a thing. It’s a huge upgrade compared to that POS.

  How is this different from just launching a python shell?
