Windows 7 traffic on my site has dramatically increased over the past 3 months. This was widely reported in the news, and frequently attributed as a statscounter glitch. But I don't use statscounter, and my Windows 7 traffic is still increasing.

Why? A thread;

As I correctly predicted, fare evasion increased. The MBTA says that “a loss of $30m threatens a lifeline,” and that “every dollar is important to us.” If that really was so, you wouldn’t have spent $1b to lose an additional $30m each year forever.

Free the fucking T.

I’ve just released the first version of Maculate for iOS. If you couldn’t tell from the name, Mac support came first.

Maculate is a native frontend for Qalculate. It’s a different sort of calculator, purpose built for more practical calculations.

womp womp silly #mbta overestimated the revenue from their fares in 2023 by $100 million (474.3 vs 376.4)

MBTA 'barely treading water', faces $700 million dollar deficit for 2026, has 11 billion in unfunded projects.

The shiny new $935 million fare modernization program steams ahead.

Oy sorry last thing I’ll send, this insane “fact check” from the New York Times. Why the hell do they feel the need to correct him on the one thing he’s right about

I think we should stop measuring javascript bundle sizes in bytes. instead, we should do it in grams. like 'my website is 5 kilograms of code'

So like, print out the code in times new roman, double spaced, 12pt font, and then measure the weight on the paper. like how they do it at twit.

Sorry, what I'm saying (and I could be wrong), is that the built `libqalculate.a` is *assuming* that GMP and MPFR will be provided dynamically even when I change to `pkgs.pkgsStatic.xxx` in github.com/toastclub/ma...

But to answer your question, its inside of `Qalculate`

I sure wish you were around! I think its believable that the manual signing isn't needed, but as I'm sure you know XCode error messages can be very misleading. I'll try removing the signing bit, at one point the errors seemed to suggest that it was needed. (at. video is ex. of misleading error)

Its fully open source over here: github.com/toastclub/maculate [https://github.com/toastclub/maculate]

You would not believe the amount of suffering involved in getting C++ libraries working inside of XCode. For your enjoyment, I've attached a couple images.

I just wanted to share that I've made my very own #macOS app... a... calculator! It uses Qalculate behind the scenes. It can't graph or do currency conversions yet, nor is there an iOS version (yet), but what it can do is pretty slick.
