I guess it would have been better to wait for the 3.14.1 release, but I just found this image online, and it's close enough

Subreleases about to crazy

[–] observes_depths@aussie.zone 43 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

3.14.1; 3.14.15; 3.14.159; 3.14.1592

We're never getting to 3.15.

There's one of the GNU utils that actually does that

[–] lwhjp@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you mean TeX (not GNU though)?

The related package METAFONT converges on e, as well.

[–] ik5pvx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It wasn't TeX, more like a command that is used daily, but I can't find it anymore. Nice on metafont though.

isPi() returns true. But isPyPi() returns false. But if you have resolved the package dependency version, then the code is not backwards compatible, so you need to use isPiPyPi(), which you can install from pip pypi

So it’s pretty easy. It’s almost like escaping SQL in php 20 years ago.

It should be 3.14.2 or 3.14.16, shouldn't it?

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

3.14.159 LTS

[–] meekah@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 weeks ago

depends. if you're rounding, yeah. I was just thinking of truncating.

You can actually invoke the binary inside a venv using πthon as an Easter egg as far as I know

Didn't try it, but it's discussed in an issue

Once again I learned that Pi is precisely 3.140 :)

Stephen Mould will have to wait some time for tau-thon.

[–] bloubz@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you want to say Steve Mould?

I just learned there's a British conservative policitian named Stephen Mold, maybe you mixed the two? Or there's a third famous person who actually has that mixed name

Isn't this "finally, pure retardium" meme?
