When beavers die, do they Leave it to Beaver, Jr.?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Have you noticed that the ln (natural log) button is removed from Windows 8 / Win 10 calculator?
You can see the (original - win xp, win vista, win 7) had it.
Old Windows Calculator (image)[^]
Why they remove that?
Oh, here's the terribly useful Windows 10 doc on the calculator. Ugh!
Calculator in Windows 10[^] 
If you find the ln button in the Windows 10 calculator, please let me know.
I need to calculate a natural logarithm immediately if not sooner.

Click the "hamburger" menu on the top-left, and switch to Scientific mode.
If necessary, resize the calculator window to make it wider.
The ln button is then three from the left, second from the bottom, just above n!.

So the functions you can perform depend on the width of your screen?
I say "that's clever!" except I'd need the antonym. And probably a few swear words.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Agree 100%!
Can you imagine explaining this type of UI design to your manager?
"Oh, yeah, we hid that, unless you widen the window."
"WHAT!"

that could be funny...
you don't have it as large as mine, that's why you can't use it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yeah, this is the ___CRAZIEST UI DESIGN EVER!!!!____
I maximized the window and I finally see it.
What a hilarious joke!!! Except, it's not funny.
I think I get it....
It's actually punishment for using their app. Microsoft has begun to punish users for using their stuff. It makes sense now.

You can also get to the additional functions with the ↑ key.
But it's still not the best design.

There's a show called "Fool Us" where magicians perform in front of Penn and Teller, and P&T try to work out how the trick is done and if they can't the magician has fooled them. Anyway, someone did a trick that replied on this very thing, that certain features of the calculator on Apple devices were only visible when the screen was orientated a certain way. When the magician used the phone he did it landscape to access certain functions and when he handed it to others to use it was given in portrait.

Yup. It only needs to be 3.5x as wide as the minimum, and even with the history/memory stack sidebar with buttons about 2x as wide as in its minimum layout.
And more perversely still it needs to be about 8% wider than its mininum to disable the "shift" in favor of all buttons in 4 rows above the numbers by stretching it vertically.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Reminds me of the ATI graphics driver installers. If you don't have any drivers, you're typically stuck in 640x480. In ATI's infinite wisdom stupidity, the installer is fixed size and 480 pixels tall. So you have about 4 pixels of button to click to advance the installer; or you have to hide the taskbar...
Winning!

I was wondering if I just missed it.
I stretched mine out and took a snapshot. Do you see it? Am I missing it?
ln button? calculator image[^]
This is really odd. It's probably a security issue, right?

You need to make it wider:

Alternatively, click the ↑ button (third from the top, left column) to reveal the additional options.

Oh my gosh!!!
That is what that stupid UP Arrow is for. Never would've guessed that.
I think I've figured out Microsoft's design choices...
It's actually punishment for using their app. Microsoft has begun to punish users for using their stuff. It makes sense now.
That's what Metro means. It's code for "PUNISH THE USER"!!

It's not called "Metro" any more. It's called "UWP".
Which stands for "the User is Wrong and must be Punished".

That's good. We all know it's all based upon punishment.

This is additionally funny because over the weekend while developing my UWP I learned that Universal doesn't mean the app will run on Win8.x and Win10 --- not everywhere and I made this graphic in honor of the terrible UWP experience.

That's how TI scientific calculators work. They have a 2nd button to get to the second functions. Not saying it's a good design for an app but if you are familiar with physical calculators then it's pretty easy to see that all those buttons had the up arrow on them.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
