Actually, it was in 1960, four years before the Beatles showed up on
Ed Sullivan, that
Doug
McIlroy published
Macro instruction extensions of compiler languages, which
appears to be a seminal paper in the literature of metaprogramming. I
mention this because a number of folks have responded to last week's
item,
Programs
that write programs, pointing out that Lisp programmers have been
there, done that:
"your note about code generation, and the referenced discussions -
bits of which i'd already read elsewhere, left me with a really eerie
feeling, that i might not be living in the same dimension with you
folks. you see, there's a practice of code generation which extends
back decades: lisp. code generations is a lisp programmer's bread and
butter."
"In the lisp world, they call these macros. The idea is pretty widely
known, though not too many languages implement them. Perl 6, and by
extension the Parrot interpreter, will include macros, and they will
thus be available to any language that gets implemented on top of
Parrot (which currently includes Ruby, Python, (maybe) PHP, and, of
course, Perl)."

m.nih.gov/news/nnlmelectronic04.htmlThe U.S. National
Library of Medicine recently announced that 40 projects designed to
improve access to electronic health information for the general public
have been funded through the National Network of Libraries of
Medicine. Projects, scattered among 24 states, range from
disseminating information on rare disorders, to maintaining Web sites
for specific groups, to ratcheting up existing healthcare information
Web sites. For example, the Periodic Paralysis Association of
Monrovia, Calif., plans to use its grant to develop a Web-based video
library to enhance the diagnostic knowledge base for this class of
rare neurological disorders. The Florida Gulfcoast North Area Health
Education Center and two other partners will expand and support the
Florida School Nurse Project, which will include training and access
to health information for school nurses and related professionals. And
the Mississippi Valley State University James Herbert White Library
and partners from local Golden Age Club and Boys and Girls Club will
establish a program to train youth and senior adults in locating and
using electronic health information. All projects will last up to 18
months. (National Library of Medicine 23 Aug 2004)

About the Michael Moore movie, Farenhe
it 9/11. I haven't seen it and I don't plan to. I'm an American
before I'm a member of any political party, and I have more invested
in the intelligence of our decision-making process than in any one
decision. I'd rather re-elect Bush than elect a president based on
Moore's politics.
Yesterday on NPR they played an excerpt
where he confronts members of Congress and asks if they would send
their children to fight in Iraq. What a ridiculous question. No parent
will say yes to that question. You could have asked that question on
the Capitol steps during World War II and they still wouldn't say yes.
See how this cheapens the question of whether we should be in Iraq? In
a smart world, we wouldn't be there, but it isn't because Congress
people won't say yes when confronted by a camera crew.
Moore is the worst of American politics, an opportunist, an
anti-intellectual.
Vote no on Moore.

AP
reports that Michael Moore's upcoming film "Fahrenheit
9/11" was given an 'R' rating today by the MPAA. The same MPAA
that says
violence
is much more acceptable than sex. The same MPAA that has
close ties to the FCC,
running roughshod over First Ammendment freedoms. The same MPAA headed
by Jack Valenti who played himself in
Freakazoid! a cooky
cartoon about superheroes that save Washington D.C. Email him if you
disagree at jvalenti@mpaa.org or call the MPAA 818-995-6600 x396.

Software That Lasts For Years And Years
Software That Lasts For Years And Years
07/14/2004 06:51 PMWe were just talking about the
rise of
quick and dirty programs as a way for individuals (not necessarily
programmers) to solve specific needs. However, as was mentioned at
the time, that would be a different "tier" of software programming,
and there would still be a need for programmers to do higher level
"big" projects. In the past, we've also discussed
the
problem of data extinction, where old computer systems and formats
die out, leaving content and applications virtually useless on ancient
media. This is a big problem for many applications, and Dan Bricklin
is now suggesting that people need to start
designing "Societal
Infrastructure Software" that can last for centuries, not just a
few years. The idea is that this type of software shouldn't have to
worry about new computers or new formats or new anything... but will
be able to just keep on working. In order to build this, though,
Bricklin believes it will require embracing open source programming,
though not necessarily the way people view open source programming
today. It's a fascinating concept, but getting people to think
long-term is so difficult these days, that you wonder if such ideas
will actually catch on.
