Re: On the serious issue of XP devaluation and other tangentially related or unrelated passing thoughts

1st of April... again?

This sounds like XP was a real currency and you are selling start-ups to venture capitalists. ;)

BTW up and down-votes are so 90s. .. how comes PM still has no side-votes ? ? ?

I want my “no confidence” vote. Also, how dare you make light of this ~~dire~~ serious situation?!?	[reply]

It sounds like you are onto something here Rolf and, since I know that you are mathematically astute, I can't help but connect the dots to understand that you are talking about using the square root of -1 as the basic voting unit, with complex multiplication as the group operation. I'm all for it! In the spirit of perl, we can let monks cast "i" or "j" votes, but the real mojo would be in acquiring a scaling factor to break out of the unit circle. Even better, if you can come up with a sensible voting scheme that uses quaternions, then we'd get the voting system "out of the 90s" and I could finally get a feel for what those darned things are.

Hi Jaredor! Wow, impressive! That's more or less the plan ... ... well except on Tuesdays! Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
