Bob and Jane,
Thank you and same to you!
You all have been busy as usual and as expected. You went after it in
New York. The Lincoln history is interesting.
A school board vote is coming up here on April 07. We will vote only
for 1 of 5 candidates with 3 openings, because we only support 1. Even
if she wins, that will give only 2 of 7 votes on the board. The
“whisper campaign” of the opposition (the other 4) is if she wins
it will mean a longer school day and a longer school year. While that
would be good it has no way of happening.
I go to San Francisco in May, 13, 14, 15, for another long shot at
the CPT Code. One of the two surgeons doing the procedure will
communicate with me but one will not correspond. Neither will, when it
comes to what is required to teach others the procedure. The codes are
not geared to high quantities, whether destruction or excision. Since
there is insistence in separating destruction and excision, high
quantity options are required for both procedures. The submission at
present covers only destruction and I am waiting to hear from the
plastic surgeon in Chicago. In my previous submission I had combined
both under NF surgery rather than under procedures. Tumor counts were
not well received and so Lund Browder areas (for burns) and percent
areas have been substituted. Unfortunately, it appears to me that both
dermatologists and plastic surgeons are opposed to the codes for
reasons, which escape me. NF patients qualify on multiple counts under
the ADA, but health insurance is controlled by the states
individually. Legislation is too big a job for me. There is only one
other option, otherwise, other than dropping out.
Here are some dates to consider for getting together: April 14, 21,
24, 27, or 28. How about lunch?

Subject: Re: [Jchat] I think people in this forum would agree
Definitely. Thanks. I felt a little sad for the author's distaste for
static typing. As a Haskeller I actually see static typing as tool to
lean
into when things get tough, instead of a thing you have to work
against. To
me programs are just data and mappings of that data from input to
output. I
may just be one of those weirdos, but for me (at least right now) the
perfect language for me would be if J and Idris/Agda had a baby and
made a
dependently typed array language. ..and regained back APL's symbolic
syntax and left ASCII in the dust.
