Nicest about class-of-75
is one can present to-be-implemented idea and derive conclusions to get objections
raised and quiet too. One VERY useful and first implementation is generation of
polls and their analysis. It is assumed
that people have access to html editors and statistical packages that can
handle data produced as a table with#- comment lines. So typical output is
#-names votes age
Arun yes 60
Baldev no 62
…
The analyser tabulates
votes (some missing) and may determine the median age.
Html{issue}
col “name” n=name{target{}}
!(n)
col “vote” ?(v=vote)
!(v)
col “age” ?(a=int)
!(a)
That’s it!
Arya magic comes in
vote column where builtin type vote is used, 99.99 CS will fail here. A magic
cookie is attached to email that depends on email address (one addr per voter
is admin work). The user acts normal and votes yes or no. The vote gets auto-transformed
to a magic number in reply. On receive end, unknown votes are ignored as are
all duplicates (which kept etc.). This is proof against forced voting, genuine
error and voting hacks!
Note that implicit
vote (not asked or output) can be used for uniqueness and hacking safety!
