A division by zero is incalculable. On computers, this is sometimes represented by a special value NaN, which stands for “Not a number”.

So we could be NaNs? Although a few Anglo countries use Nan to refer to a grandmother.

Another benefit: NaN implies a kind of freedom. To quote from the cult 60’s show The Prisoner: “I am not a number, I am a free man”

Instance defederation drama retold through half-remembered hearsay? Surely we can do better.

Fun language fact:

Summary:

Street = Has businesses, houses, shops and sidewalks. Designed for humans.

Road = Higher speed limit than streets, generally no businesses or sidewalks, as it’s just there to connect areas. Designed for cars.

Stroad = A connection between areas that also has businesses. You have higher speed limits, minimal sidewalks and it’s dangerous/impossible to cross on foot. The only way to get around to different businesses along a stroad is by car.

ARR I think is Annual Recurring Revenue
