I read the article and it seems like it would make my job harder but that’s likely because I use pi so much i can estimate a circumference pretty fucking accurately from a radius.
Is it as simple to use for determining area and circumference from d or r?
I use a lot of circle math don’t fuck with my circle math
the Area formula is the most obvious case for which this convention isn’t clearly superior. It becomes
A= 1/2 t r2
the thing is that 1/2 factor illuminates a symmetry to other important formula arises from their shared derivation via integration, see section 3 of The Tau Manifesto
I assure you this revolutionary change will make your circle math easier.

Also if it’s just ½tr² i can write that down and do πr² and nobody will be able to tell
Gonna try to change the whole insulation industry with this
