Heptagon, just watch yourself…

And don’t even get me started on heptagon’s interior angle sum, 900° ?! Even the number is not pretty. Not like the svelte 180° of the triangle or perfect 360° of the square, or the regal 1080° octagon!

900° is a kiln firing temperature for mediocre bisqueware, not a respectable angle sum.

The heptagon is the ugliest of the regular polygons. Go on, try and find an uglier one!

“I know ther’es an apostrophe in their somewear’?”

My eyes hate it, but my head likes it and pronounces it “yor-eh”, with an Italian accent.

Outback Queensland town of Winton, dinosaur capital of Australia, now with added Dark Sky Community certification!

Definitely on my list of places to visit. Having watched our stars slowly disappear, it’d be amazing to see the Milky Way through a truly dark sky.

The town of Winton receives international recognition after going "above and beyond" to protect its night sky.

“Artificial intelligence will be a “tsunami hitting the #labour market”, with young people worst affected, the head of the International Monetary Fund warned the World Economic Forum on Friday.

Kristalina Georgieva told delegates in Davos that the IMF’s own research suggested there would be a big transformation of demand for #skills, as the technology becomes increasingly widespread.

“We expect over the next years, in advanced economies, 60% of jobs to be affected by #AI, either #enhanced or #eliminated or #transformed – 40% globally,” she said. “This is like a tsunami hitting the labour market.””

For some reason, when I think of a “random” hexadecimal value for an example to include in a publication or teaching material, it feels like it always needs an “f” in there somewhere. Especially if it’s not prefixed by 0x

hex values that sound right:
❌6751
❌A826
✅ 581f
✅ ✅ 0x57f8
