Show HN: Numbat – A programming language with physical dimensions as types
Apparently this replaces https://github.com/sharkdp/insect
- Insect – high precision scientific calculator with support for physical units
- The Icculus Microgrant is giving out 250 dollar grants to open source projects, please brag about your project(s) in this thread so I can see them!

What projects do you wish there was a self hosted version of
You might like https://insect.sh/ ;)
- Show HN: I made a web-based notepad with a built in unit calculator
-
ka: a calculator language for the command line
For the record I use insect.

Looking to build a plugin for logseq. Your problems needed!
https://github.com/sharkdp/insect seems to be somewhat similar, but it's mostly for physical units. However, it's the only opensource one that is embeddable.

Ask HN: Do you use a physical calculator in your day job, and why?
Insect: https://github.com/sharkdp/insect
It is a bit slow but has decent features, including some physical units support.
I set up Tilda (or another Guake equivalent; I tried a bunch of them and can’t remember on which I settled in the end) to run it automatically when a terminal is opened, when pressing Scroll Lock. It’s quite neat: when I need to do a quick calculation, I just hit Scroll Lock, which spawns a drop down terminal with the focus; then type whatever I want to calculate; then control-D to dismiss the drop down terminal and I am back in whatever I was doing without moving either hand off the keyboard.
I do more or less the same thing on my Mac with Alfred.

Kagi Search – Public Beta
I'm in the same boat and will pay for Kagi, though I have a different interaction with a search engine and thought you might like the counterpoint. Notably, I don't use Google for most of what you described:
Translation: I use DeepL instead (google is doing poorly on Asian languages)
Conversion: not having much need for imperial but I use this for all unit conversion (though usually directly in my terminal): https://insect.sh/
Wikipedia: if I type Wikipedia+something my browser automatically use the wiki engine (chrome can do that too)
Word definition: on OSX I long press on the trackpad and the definition pops up (across languages, translation too for single words)
Lyrics: Spotify show them now! (admittedly that's a recent feature)

anyone know a calculator that can count to unreasonably high numbers? I'm talking x*10^1000 and stuff??
insect.sh goes up to about 109 × 1015.

The oldest software still used/maintained today that runs on GNU/Linux?
Here's the proof. https://github.com/memnoth/unix-v6/blob/master/source/s1/bc.y I'm going to try to see if this still compiles

GNU Units
You are probably right.
The one in FreeBSD is from NetBSD: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/units/units.c?v...
The NetBSD version is from Adrian Mariano: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/usr.bin/units/units....
The one in Plan9 is in yacc: http://9p.io/sources/plan9/sys/src/cmd/units.y
This GitHub repo claims to be V6: https://github.com/memnoth/unix-v6/blob/master/source/s2/uni...
