Happy Pi Day /prog/!

https://github.com/philipl/pifs

π (or pi) is one of the most important constants in mathematics and has a variety of interesting properties (which you can read about at wikipedia)

One of the properties that π is conjectured to have is that it is normal, which is to say that its digits are all distributed evenly, with the implication that it is a disjunctive sequence, meaning that all possible finite sequences of digits will be present somewhere in it. If we consider π in base 16 (hexadecimal) , it is trivial to see that if this conjecture is true, then all possible finite files must exist within π. The first record of this observation dates back to 2001.

From here, it is a small leap to see that if π contains all possible files, why are we wasting exabytes of space storing those files, when we could just look them up in π!

Congratulations to half tau on its big day! Tau will have its revenge on June 28, 2031.

Because the index of a file in τ might take up more space than the file itself.

Pi is conjectured to contain infinitely many pairs of repeating digits.

No, they're actually right. Tau is a lot more natural and easy to use than Pi.

Take a whole period as 1. Then a quarter of a period is 1/4, right? But no, these faggots have managed to make a quarter of a period 1/2 (of their number Pi). Why? What the fuck? Why is a quarter of a period 1/2? Pitards are truly retarded.

If you did anything more than basic high school trigonometry, you'd know this Tau shit is an epic meme created by some epic popsci memesters.

If you were at least an idiotic apping science undergrad, you'd know pi appears in many indefinite integrals and infinite series, namely the Gaussian integral, Riemann's zeta(2) and zeta(4). Cauchy's integral formula, the integral form of the arctangent (taught even in an integral calculus course for retarded appers), the integral over the whole domain of sech(x) or sinc(x) and many more.

Since all you do is watching epic math videos in Youtube and Facebook for geeknerds such as yourself, you think you've got a word in this. Yet the most complex thing you've ever done with pi is calculating a perimeter, and you must have had a hard time with it.

I am a physicist and can attest that most π we have is 2π. Like, pretty much all π is 2π.

Just ran over my current model I do for the petrochemical industry modeling stuff. I have 9 occurences of 2π, two 3/2π, one 4π and one 3/8π. Not a single π with coefficient 1. So stick your zeta functions into your thin theoretical anus - this way you will have sex and possibly orgasm, and this will also give your shitty zeta function an application which it currently lacks.

You niggers are missing the point here.

Redefining a variable just because you're too fucking lazy to write a leading factor is like changing your name to "A" because you're too lazy to write your full name every time you want to write a love letter for your boyfriend.

It's a goddamned 2, for fuck's sake. Do you also want to give a special name to 2*sqrt(2)? What about integrals of ab respect to b? They are everywhere and are the clunky looking 1/2 * ab^2. Well, let's redefine it as aB because I'm such a lazy fuck! Derivatives of x^2 respect to x are also very common. Should we come up with a χ manifesto too?

All the energy you've wasted discussing this pointless shit should be instead redirected into something useful like

It's not just the formulas, it's conceptual simplification of any harmonical functions. Anything having to do with frequencies, signals, waves or periodicity will become conceptually simpler when we start thinking in periods rather than half-periods.

If anything I'd rather have a half pi than double.

Is this a matter of premature space saving? Because I'd rather write \pi than \frac{\tau}{2}.
