Thanks for the response! Still, why would you do this, and not just use pi?

I’m not following what the purpose of rounding pi is

PI() is the function a spreadsheet, if that helps ;)

Please give me peace haha

I finally found you, an engineer actually using π=3 (or 4 as you say), and not just people making fun of it.

I am also an engineer, but I’m going to wager much more recently graduated (worked 3.5 years).

Who hurt you?

Like, I get it, in a world before calculators, but there’s a button on the calculator, in your spreadsheet, in whatever program that approximates pi to many, many, many digits.

Putting in a design/safety margins into pi seems like a strange choice.

Sincerely, an engineer looking for answers on this π=3 meme.

Even if it’s back of the napkin first past approximation. You have a phone calculator. Please use it for our collective peace haha

(All jibes in jest, I’m genuinely curious)

I have never had any reason to use any of Adobe’s stuff other than acrobat.

Having used 2 competitors extensively at work, Bluebeam and PDF X-Change (and the free version of 1 of those, PDF X-Change, at home), it’s not even close.

Acrobat is so much worse, and they came up with the format.

It’s embarrassing.

You guys are aware you can filter by language in the settings of your Lemmy account, right?

A friend of mine when I was 12/13 downloaded some hacks for Combat Arms (a free FPS back in the day) and made his windows unusable (with “noob” as the time).

Good memories

Original commenter was making a joke, it’s called hyperbole.

There are cases where your sentiment makes sense (Women disparaging someone about dick size for example. Not sure how that’s different from men commenting on people’s boobs), but this isn’t one of those cases.

The commenter doesn’t actually advocate killing someone because they bumped up against them.

I think you should consider lightening up.

If they keep not complying, which is my understanding of what apple has been doing, they should absolutely be bankrupted. Or something drastic.

A warning, which will make other companies self-Police, bringing down the cost of enforcement.

Countries are so permissive of corporate bad behaviour it’s not even funny.

Missed opportunity to call it “AkkuBattery” for all the dual language pun enjoyers out there 🎩

I think it’s ridiculous DFAT hasn’t updated the smart traveller website. Exercise normal precautions my ass

We need to be moving before technology becomes profitable. This is one of the major downsides of capitalism. We temper it somewhat with government investment and regulation, but buy-in-large, the profit motive is what drives practically all economic questions.

We simply do not have time.

We need to building more energy storage, like yesterday.

It just hasn’t made much financial sense to build it, because fossil fuels were cheap, now we’re slowly getting started.

If the profit motive wasn’t the motive above all else, we could get a whole bunch more done in the fight on climate change.

We can’t wait for capitalism. It’s just not fundamentally aligned with our preservation, it’s aligned with profit motive.

We’re lucky it’s becoming more profitable. But we’re still massively reliant on fossil fuels. It’s way, way, way, way not fast enough.

And yes, capitalism is the problem. If governments weren’t so afraid of being criticised for how they run something we’d bring back more state run organisations and just start building, even if it runs at a “loss”.

Or at the very, very least, we should be directly contracting private companies to build and maintain the infrastructure, but WE own it. Not them.

Conclusion, capitalism isn’t the only economic system we can imagine. We already temper it. We used to even temper it more than we do now (post-world war II in the anglosphere, as an example, until the neo-libs privatised practically everything).

The neo-liberal experiment has been a colossal failure.

Capitalism isn’t the end of history.

The observation is that capitalism isn’t any good at efficiently allocating resources

They run a large budget deficit each year which Denmark subsidises out of historical obligation, since they subjugated Greenland. Fair enough I say.

Greenland is largely independent on internal policies and have their own laws, but still technically part of Denmark.

This is my laymen’s explanation.

This went way over my head and I was thinking: the writer’s taken their mask off as a racist??

Didn’t make the colour connection

Tributes are still a thing. See Australia “buying” $300bn submarines from the US.

So I can somewhat understand why Trump thought this is what tariffs are haha

(My grumble, you’re not wrong)

“Slams”. Look at what journalists did to our boy!

Oh don’t get me wrong. The strong adherence to pacifism is laudable. But they have not reckoned with their atrocities committed during and prior world war II. They practically deny them ever happening.

Your whataboutism is not appreciated.

Japan has never really reckoned with its past. They were just pacified.

I judge the country as a whole for this, since they keep electing politicians who continue to do very little to reckon with their past.

I feel a lot could be gained by apologising to the people and nations for the past, and nothing lost, other than nationalistic pride, bring forced into self reflection, and being genuinely sorry on behalf of the country.

People who think they shouldn’t apologise because it wasn’t them personally are stupid, frankly, and standing in the way of reducing tensions.

Will it fix everything in the region? No. Will it take some of the steam out of the war machine? Probably.

Ugh. They’re probably worse than a lot of them.

Abducting extremely young children into their cult. Teaching them to suppress their emotions, telling them to cut all families ties.

Someone ought to order their temples shut down to bring peace and stability to the galaxy world.

Being an outsider I thought non credible defence was just memes about military things, are they specifically pro US imperialism?

In true modern Microsoft fashion. Remove features, lock forum posts of people asking for them back. Provide no reason. Profit because apparently this shit is crack to companies.
