oh sure it starts that way, but before you know it it becomes a square root of two, then it gets multiplied by a bunch of other things, then it divides out another square root of two later by accident, one that's actually supposed to be there, then you forget about that and you miss the fact that terms on both side of the equations cancel out which would be obvious at a glance otherwise, then you need to think about it for a bit and manually reintroduce a square root of two over square root of two factor, then you swear that actually you're not completely terrible at math and it's other people's fault this keeps happening

using τ probably does make more sense, but the community of people pushing it are the most insufferable bunch imaginable. they really give off the vibe of nikola tesla fanboys or dvorak keyboardailures who have to make it their personality and work it into everything

basically the same people that want to use tebibytes or whatever

the proper thing is to just say kilobyte or megabyte, but implicitly that is base 2 not 10, and the reader just has to know that

yeah, the hard drive manufacturers who tried to get away with base 10 should have to use the dumb name, gigashits or something

if i actually give enough of a gently caress about the difference between 2^40 and 10^13 bytes of storage, then i'm probably doing something important and large-scale enough that i should just check the exact number of bytes anyways
