Personnel
gollark: Include τ on all calculators!
gollark: Thus, pi/tau hybridization.
gollark: I think there are mostly good arguments each way and we just got π arbitrarily.
gollark: > cos(theta) = sin(theta+poo)hmm, that is very nice actually.
gollark: Programming languages should ship with "poo", "pi" and "tau" constants.
