20 million digits of pi in under a minute with Julia

I recently discovered a relatively obscure algorithm for calculating the digits of pi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Legendre_algorithm. Well, at least obscure compared to Chudnovsky's. Wikipedia notes that it is "memory-intensive" but is it really? Let's compare to the MPFR pi function:

function gauss_legendre(prec)
    setprecision(BigFloat, prec, base=10)
    GC.enable(false)

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

I recently happened upon an implementation of popen() (different API, same idea) using clone(2), and so I opened an issue requesting use of vfork(2) or posix_spawn() for portability. It turns out that on Linux there's an important advantage to using clone(2). I think I should capture the things I wrote there in a better place. A gist, a blog, whatever.

So here goes.

Long ago, I, like many Unix fans, thought that fork(2) and the fork-exec process spawning model were the greatest thing, and the Windows sucked for only having [exec*()](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919
