The days are getting longer in the northern hemisphere and shorter in the southern hemisphere. And the start of the ISO 8601 dates is changing!
I also monitor the changes of the hexadecimal unix timestamps. The next time the first of 8 hex digits changes is in 2029.
from datetime import datetime
'{:02X}'.format(int(datetime.now().timestamp()))
datetime.fromtimestamp(0x70000000)
And this spits out the year in Python: 3**2**2*5**2
- _kb 2y agoEven better, all of these are also 2025: (20+25)² (∑n)² and ∑n³ for n 1..9
- benatkin 2y agoNice. A unique year indeed, since the last one was 1936, 89 years ago. It's obvious to me now - that's 2025-(45*2-1) and I can picture a row and a column at the edges of a grid being removed, wth one cell being shared between the row and column. I think maybe at some point I saw that. 1600 and 2500 are more obvious, and 2050 is the midpoint between them linearly. The others in Python: sum(range(1, 10))**2 sum(n**3 for n in range(1, 10))
