Thank you for posting this.

I had the same issue with a different calculation. The answer was wrong.

I thought it looks weird because I put a space after the = and the autocomplete does not add that.

> 1+1 sq ft in sq in=

Fun puzzle. Spoilers ahead:

It seems it’s considering the first 1, and not the second, to be in square meters. “(1+1) sq ft in sq in” works.

"1+1 sq ft in sq in="

The order of operations here is quite ambiguous. It’s not obvious even to a human reader how you would expect this to be interpreted.

undefined

Its been missing touch input for over 6 years now, still cannot believe their dev teams do not have professional pride to fix such an embaressing flaw.

Works in Canada here, but it’s probably just getting rate-limited by Twitter; I’m surprised any Nitter instance works at this point.

No it should not, using that site without a Twitter account is horrible

X doesn't have a usable interface for the casual click-through audience that HN caters to. The static content is deliberately (and pointlessly) stripped to prioritize bilking X engagement over the user's engagement.

In aggregate, people will choose to submit the option that abuses users less. Xcancel keeps the original X link unobstructed if you need it for some reason.

In 2025, it's a better user experience to link to a mirror. Whether it's ethical is a different matter. Half the articles posted to HN would go unread if someone didn't post a mirrored version in the comments.

As soon as I try clicking that page, I got several pop-ups trying to take me to the App Store. When I finally managed to dismiss it, I just got a full screen pop-up asking me to sign in. I can't even view the link you posted on my phone. I wish there was a better way.

Can we get an exception to this? Twitter does not show replies (and many times, the tweet itself) if I am not logged in.

This is to avoid blogspam not paywalls.
