What converges is the resulting value of the calculation. As you add more lines the approximate result (of the circumference) gets closer and closer to the true answer. It's not necessarily referring to the geometric shape of the polyg

I thought so too, but it turns out the load bearing typography is also missing in the blog itself. What do HN rules say in this case?

Do you think this sale was intended as a union-busting move? It sounds like they're not retaining staff with the sale, and this timing seems to match with Bandcamp's staff unionization efforts.
