- henning 19y agohere is a benchmark involving computing streaming digits of pi. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=pidigits&lang=all http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=pid... the lesson i take from the results is if all you're doing is calling a C library (gmp) anyway, it doesn't really matter whether you're using C or Python.
- technoguyrob 19y agoHere's a Wikipedia article I wrote about a year ago on an interesting "property" of pi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_point http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_point
- Darmani 19y ago'It is named after physicist Richard Feynman, who once stated during a lecture he would like to memorize the digits of π until that point, so he could recite them and quip "nine nine nine nine nine nine and so on."' Over the past month or so, I did exactly that. Thanks for the article! It gave me a great Pi Day goal.
- kryptos 19y agoHas anyone seen the film 'pi'?If not, this would be a fine day to see it!
- rms 19y agoGreat movie! I'm a big fan of the director Darren Aronofsky, I would recommend his other works Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain if you haven't seen them.
- kingnothing 19y agoBe sure to not have any sharp objects, guns, bottles of narcotics, or any other way to kill yourself around after watching Requiem if you haven't seen it yet. In fact, you might want to go ahead and buy a kitten and call someone to tell them you'll need them to come over for a big hug in about two hours right after you pop that DVD in.
- matth 19y agoThe Fountain is a great film. Clint Mansell's score is even better.
- anupamkapoor 19y agoRequiem For A Dream is very very nice.
- jgrahamc 19y agoFor Europeans the same time 3/14 1:59.26 is 14/3 1:59.26. Expression as two numbers we have 3.1415926 1.4315926 The different between those two numbers is the cube root of 5.
- kingnothing 19y agoPi day and the celebration for St. Patrick's Day falling on the same date? Happy Green Pi Day!

- sanj 19y agoA couple of years back, when my son turned 3.1415 year's old, I had a Pi-day party for him! Adding to the confusion, I went to the local grocery store and bought everything that had the word pie in it: apple, peach, pizza, spinach... yum.
- pius 19y agoOne of my favorite days. :)
- glasner 19y agoA funny story.. My girlfriend is student teaching and taking her fourth grade class to the museum for pi day. Yesterday, one of her students (the worst behaving one w/ the most hands off parents) said her mom was coming for the field trip.. Her mom didn't want to miss free pie! My girlfriend then finds out the entire class thinks they're going for pie day!
- PStamatiou 19y agotoday is also steak & bj day..
- ivankirigin 19y agoCMU always had a great time with this. Chalked digits of pi went all across the campus. http://piday.spacebar.org/2003/ http://piday.spacebar.org/2003/
- ljlolel 19y agoI made a site where you can learn hundreds of digits of pi really easily using the method of loci. I opened sourced the code: http://www.jperla.com/blog/2008/03/14/learn-100-digits-of-pi-at-lightning-speed/ http://www.jperla.com/blog/2008/03/14/learn-100-digits-of-pi...
