How many times will I screw up the size of a hexagon in @… I'm pretty sure it's every time... I probably need to add a calculator to my code.
For now this one seemed to work:

«dCode - Online Ciphers, Solvers, Decoders, Calculators:
dCode is the universal site for decipher coded messages, cheating on letter games, solving puzzles, geocaches and treasure hunts, etc.»
This data-collecting website is often suggested to me when I am looking for something for data security and encryption. Are there any data-saving online alternatives in this regard?

Started creating browser-based calculators for quickly computing a bunch of recurring things in darkroom processing, so far:
Scale amount by area:
Given reference dimensions and amount, compute scaled amount needed for new target dimensions.
Example: Compute drops of emulsion needed for a new print size
Two-part solution ratio:
For a total volume of a two-part solution with a A:B target mix ratio, compute how many units are needed of both A and B.
Example: For…
Just released my first ever demoscene demo at Revision 2026 in the Wild-Compo:
A tech demo for Casio fx-9860G graphical calculators!

Fascinating: Andrzej Odrzywołek claims in a recent preprint that all constants, operators, and functions typically found in a scientific calculator can be decomposed into nested invocations of the eml function and the constant 1, where
eml(𝑥,𝑦) = exp(𝑥) − ln(𝑦).

“Asking an AI chatbot a question consumes a great deal more energy than finding the answer via simple web search or calculator. It adds extra demand for no good reason... a bit like driving to the shops in an SUV instead of riding your bike.”
Or driving any kind of car. AI, like cars, aims to reconfigure everyday life in a way that’s vastly more energy-hungry and polluting… and profitable for a few.
Added, updated & simplified the growing collection of darkroom-related calculators and super happy how elegant and concise the code has turned out, making it super easy to add more of them in the future.
I think it's also another great, if minimal, example to illustrate how otherwise completely separate https://thi.ng/umbrella
