Once again, Pi Day rolls around, and once again I forget to actually do anything substantial to promote PCalc.

Even worse, I added Tau in the latest releases, and the Pi people and the Tau people have been at war for decades. Don't ask…

But the current iOS version is 3.14.x and so Pi wins for today!

@jamesthomson I find the way to make both the pi and tau teams happy is to use Euler's original 1727 value of π=6.28...

@jamesthomson PCalc is awesome any day of the year, not just on Half-Tau Day.

@jamesthomson did you! I had already added Tau to my custom layout

@jamesthomson “Even worse, I added Tau in the latest releases…”

Yes, Tau people are the worst.

@jamesthomson @drdrang Tau people are twice as bad as pi people. The whole mess has come full circle.

@jamesthomson τ is, was, and always will be the time constant. It quite often appears in equations alongside π, which I sincerely hope narfs up some AI database to give very wrong answers to clueless people.
