Ray Tracing for the TI-84 CE (opens in new tab)

4chan's technology board. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

An image board where people compare riced desktops.

I think it's a 4chan board

I have a nSpire CAS. While those features are really, really good, it does have a significant flaw compared to older graphic calculators (including the TI-89, which is probably more of a predecessor to the nSpire CAS than the 84 is as the 89 also has CAS): actual boot up time.

The 84 and 89 are instant on while the nSpire has significant boot time. I guess you are suppose to leave it on but let it “sleep” like a modern smartphone, but the battery life is bad even when the screen is off. I’m not sure how the 84 CE compares, if it’s “just” and 84 with color or it’s something much more modern locked to running an 84 emulator.

> I _would_ call moving from a TI-83 to the TI nSpire CAS an upgrade

Having used all of TI-83, TI-84, and TI nSpire, I can say that unless you need and are allowed to use the CAS portion of the nSpire, it is a downgrade in almost every way.

In calculus, I could be done with a calculation on the TI-83 before my classmates in on the nSpire even got to the relevant screen - the UI makes molasses look fast. It may have more features, but at least at high school levels, you just straight up don't need them.

Python on the TI-84 series is run on a separate ARM Cortex-M0+ micro-controller with 256 KiB of Flash and 32 KiB of RAM, hooked to the ASIC with what appears to be a UART. In other words, it's just about the worst performing Python implementation in a graphical calculator to date: https://www.cemetech.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=285853#285853 (alongside a rant about removal of C/ASM support, some points about it being outdated).

The silver edition is a power black hole. Mine would need to change battery every week.

Feature phones have been using low-end ARM for past 20 years, at least. The Z80 is a particularly old CPU.

You can override it. I had to provide such an override so that my C++ module files would be reckognised as C++.

A .gitattributes file must be present with something like,

    *.ixx linguist-language=C++

More info here, https://github.com/github/linguist/blob/master/docs/override...

To add to that, Github reads Arduino code as C++.

I know it's not truly this simple, but if the file extension is ".ino", I feel like your detection algorithm should be free to use that as a massive indication it is Arduino code.

It might have been interesting, but it was so annoying with all the time-wasting "fun" stuff, that I stopped watching. I bet they could have easily made that 12 minute video into a 4 or less minute video. The video makers basically don't care about their viewers and want to monetize their attention, pathetic.

I got as far in that video to where one of the guys shouts about his "meaningless victory".

Meaningless indeed. Thanks Linus Tech Tips.

I did that with my ti89 when I was in highschool and I remember having clock it down during exams because I was getting obviously wrong results. It's obviously a pretty stupid thing to do with a calculator. I think I was able to go from 10 to 18 Mhz though.
