It would be fun if they would never reach 3.15. Because of the pi joke. But semantic versioning has a say in this, too. Sadly.

This is what Donald Knuth is doing with TeX :)

Wikipedia:

Since version 3, TeX has used an idiosyncratic version numbering system, where updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end of the decimal, so that the version number asymptotically approaches π. This is a reflection of the fact that TeX is now very stable, and only minor updates are anticipated. The current version of TeX is 3.141592653; it was last updated in 2021.

There is also the mathfont of Tex, which slowly converges to e.

it's fine, python releases don't use semantic versioning

Tap for spoiler

I swapped one digit to piss people off good luck.

Technically should be 3.14.2, or even 3.14.16. On account of how quoting something to a limited number of significant figures works.

All future versions of Python should just append digits of pi; semantic versioning be damned

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 2 points 11 months ago*

Hell is the highest visible form of going back into the future after the past without the Intersteller invisible path.

It does require death though. Just because the black hole doesn't, doesn't mean it doesn't look like it is even though it is not.

If you try divide the meaning there, don't panic. It's not possible even if you have an equation. There is no answer. It's basically just one math form that does not exist in any dimension even if you can iterate it. If you do, nothing happens.

DotG does well to "show" that place, named well.

Huh. I don't think I often see it with a racist context? It's usually funny/random stuff. Like "Gender" fluid and shit (I love dumb puns).

Looking it up it looks like it originally spread from a racist context. Not sure how reliable Know Your Meme is but here's one of the pages I was looking at. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/finally-synthetic-watermelon

Seen plenty of other bad ones on the Facebook and the Twitter before I quit though.

There's also a fried chicken stereotype for African Americans. I think it had some historic context too.

My history lobe is a bit rusty but after emancipation, black folks grew a lot of watermelon because it was easy and cheap to grow and it sold well. It was a symbol of the time as well as former slaves reaching financial independence. As usual, shitheads will turn any symbol against it's people as a tool of oppression (see DEI as a recent example) so watermelon was associated with black people in the worst way. Now the racism has died down a lot but to this day some people will say (and think) that black people love watermelon and think of it as a poverty food.

It goes way deeper but that should be the semi-accurate gist.

parent

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 point 11 months ago

Kind like an e-pi where accuracy is the name of the last guy to mention how incomprehensible me explanation is.

We'd all be dead if they hated us. We will be by our own act if we don't stop asking for it.

Narcissism is like opium. Especially when the CIA loads it with fentanyl and shoots you in the head twice, telling everyone that it was your choice to die.
