I've been thinking maybe this has nothing to do with pi the number and more to do with pie the dish.
So probably I'm wrong, but when googled for source/origin of pie I got result as Romans/Greeks/Greece? If the answer is Greeks the answer also coincides with the origin/root of the letter pi as a Greek letter and the country is also named Greece (6).

That's a damn good try!

You are up tomorrow!
I'm really surprised it took that long; I really liked this one but thought it would be a "pretty easy Monday one".

I'd forgotten it was a bank holiday ... Herself is working, next door's "drain men" have arrived to try and fix the soak away (again), and the sun is shining brightly.
Can't be a British Bank Holiday Monday without torrential rain, can it?

30° and climbing where I am

Where I am it's 31° with rain and a cloudy sky. Without it, it would've been something like 38° probably higher.

Words like modelling and showstopper mean so different depending whether you are in IT or fashion industry.

That's what happens shortly after my first employer says something like 'blazing skies'. We brought light and warmth into your cockpit.

Having different meanings for the same word in different industries is one thing...
I've heard IT terms used differently in different IT companies.
Like there was this company where they used the term "front-end" for everything from code running in the browser to the IIS service that served the pages.
The back-end, for them, was everything that did not serve HTML pages.
To me, and other places I've worked, the front-end is just what's running in your browser, everything else is back-end.
Some people also use the term back-end to mean their database, while others don't include it and mention a database explicitly.
And those are just two words.
It's all just very confusing...

I'd include any UI, not just a web one.

My pettest peeve is when I hear "implement" used to mean "deploy".

I thought it might be interesting to write a bit about System.Numerics.Vector (and probably System.Runtime.Intrinsics), which is one of those things that can be helpful (I still don't exactly like the Vector<T> API, but it can be used for some things and for other things I can throw in some System.Runtime.Intrinsics), but used more rarely than it deserves. It's not easy to get into.
Of course I can cover the usual suspects such as linear algebra and Fourier transforms, but it would be more interesting to have some examples that are less on the "pure math" side and more on the "just random stuff that comes up in programs" side.
Good candidates look like a loop over one or more arrays, nested loops and some "mild conditionals" and "innocent function calls" (Math.Max and such) are fine, but if it's a big rat's nest of control flow I probably can't use it.

Not exactly a dotnet guy myself but shouldn't you highlight the differences between the regular and the Numerics vector types? And maybe include recent developments? Vector Class (System.Numerics) | Microsoft Docs[^]

|

What's the regular vector type in this context? The 2D one in System.Windows?
|
|
|
|
|
I am not sure but I guess so. As your own post mentions two different types I assumed that the first one was commonly used and that this [Numeric] one brought new possibilities.
