Pi is counterrevolutionary.
π is semirevolutionary. -𝜏 is counterrevolutionary.
Once again a change touted as “revolutionary” and proletarian handed down from on high by the intelligentsia, which is worse for the actual proletarians
just like metric.
Nah people enjoy using metric. i don’t want to have to divide by two every time i need to find a circumference
That’s it, I’m becoming a Trot
I read the article and it seems like it would make my job harder but that’s likely because I use pi so much i can estimate a circumference pretty fucking accurately from a radius.
Is it as simple to use for determining area and circumference from d or r?
I use a lot of circle math don’t fuck with my circle math
the Area formula is the most obvious case for which this convention isn’t clearly superior. It becomes
A= 1/2 t r2
the thing is that 1/2 factor illuminates a symmetry to other important formula arises from their shared derivation via integration, see section 3 of The Tau Manifesto
I assure you this revolutionary change will make your circle math easier.
Also if it’s just ½tr² i can write that down and do πr² and nobody will be able to tell
Gonna try to change the whole insulation industry with this
Complete the revolution!
no
i use both
