Though im not sure I understand the meme. Is it just because they're called "powerful numbers"?

Lux , in YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO THIS WHOLE TIME!

Pi = pi/1

lugal ,

So P=p i imagine

Sadly, this is so far over my head that I have to accept it as truth, spread the word with authority, and found a religion based on it

It's just an equation that gives you the first few digits of pi if you treat pi as a variable.

But, pi isn't a variable, so it's not a real equation.

Ahhh, gotcha! Thanks for the info :)

dm_me_your_boobs ,

As a programmer, I know what a variable is. Therefore, now this all makes sense to me.

xor ,

it's not treating pi as a variable, though...
here's one that does work:
circumference = 2piradius,
so, pi = 2*radius/circumference... which is true... (pi is the ratio of diameter to circumference)
the meme here is just an equation that's wrong because it's wrong... pi is being treated as if it's some value that it's not in the first equation, and it's still wrong in the second equation...

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

pi is being treated as if it's some value that it's not in the first equation

That's a variable. The value of 'pi' is dependent on the rest of the equation.

If you treat it as a variable, the math gives you 3.1415926536.

DerisionConsulting ,

Maybe I am also too dumb, but isn't the issue that the first equation is just wrong? It assumes that pi only equals 3.141592654

This "proof" is based on a bug in Casio calculators (tested it on the fx-991EX classwitz, got it there too)

A try to explain it is in this video by Matt Parker. Are exactly the same numbers

lugal ,

It's not a bug, it's a feature

Can someone link me the documentation?

pfannkuchen_gesicht , in LaTeX coffee stains

definitelly needs improvement. Just 4 options aren't enough, this needs to be made procedural.

Parametric?

I like this！

JPAKx4 , in LaTeX coffee stains

"Why does your resume have a coffee stain on it"
"Sorry, I'm a bit clumsy at times"
"You emailed it to me"

dubyakay ,

"It was scanned and digitized, and the software refused to let go of the stain. It was written in LaTeX."

KrankyKong ,

"Can you send me a copy of the word doc?"

fubarx , in LaTeX coffee stains

Somebody should work on a plugin that adds dog bitemarks.

I couldn't find a link to coffeestains the package except in the image, so I transcribed it out here in case anyone wants to click it.

Can see the doc and the stains here https://framagit.org/Pathe/coffeestains/-/blob/main/coffeestains/coffeestains-en.pdf?ref_type=heads

hglman , in Fractions

Its not even helpful in baking.

mpa92643 ,

It definitely is.

If a recipe calls for 3 and 3/4 cups flour, I know right away I need three 1 cup scoops of flour and one 3/4 cup scoop.

If it calls for 15/4 cups, now I need to calculate how many one cup scoops it is and also what the additional remaining fraction is in addition to how much I've actually measured out so far.

The more numbers you need to keep in your head when following a recipe, the more likely you are to make a mistake.

Leviathan ,

This is a great example of why volumetric recipes are inferior. With grams it's just a single weight standard across the board. I'd much rather just use a scale, when a recipe call for 50g I know I need... a scale. When a recipe calls for 75g I know I need... a scale. No need for dirtying a bunch of inaccurate measuring implements.

MBM , in Fractions

Guess I'll just come out and say it. I'm a mixed fraction fan. 23+2/3 instantly tells you it's "23 and a bit", unlike 74/3, and it's more accurate than 23.67.

@programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

For me the problem is notation, putting a number in front of a fraction usually means multiplication and when giving a solution in anything but maths, the needed accuracy can be achieved with decimals

When shitposting on social media isn't enough, so you need to shitpost on CTAN.
