As the song goes on the album I'm currently infatuated with, the Mountain Goats' "We Shall All Be Healed": "The arteries are clogging in the mainframes / There's too much information in the pipes." In the meantime, I note with pleasure that Slate now has an RSS feed, a previous lack that I complained about a month ago. More information in more pipes! |

- In A Theory of Computer Semiotics, Peter Bшgh Andersen introduces the concept of sign-oriented programming. Within this alternative paradigm, the execution of a program, Andersen writes, "is regarded as a manifestation of a play," with the actors being computer-based signs, and the script being the source code. To reiterate one of the central ideas in the book, that the user interface emerges as the software is used, he writes that the aim of a computer-based play is "giving its audience experience of and insight into either a real or imaginary part of the world." He models his definition on object-oriented programming, as it is "the one that comes closest to" the requirements he has identified for computer-based signs. For instance, objects (in OOP) are quite similar to computer-based signs, in that they have attributes and actions. |

- One possible explanation of the high equity return premium over the past century is that private finanial markets do a very lousy job of mobilizing society's risk-bearing resources, and that as a result the market system gets incentives wrong and delivers us an economy with a much lower capital intensity and a much lower investment share than would be optimal.

- HealthDayNews story at Yahoo - "Women with coronary artery disease who show signs of depression are twice as likely to die as women with coronary artery disease who have no symptoms of depression, says a Duke University Medical Center study. ... 'In our study, when we statistically controlled for the effects of age, as well as the beating capacity of the heart, depressive symptoms still remained an independent predictor of mortality,' Duke psychologist Anastasia Georgiades says in a prepared statement. 'The key question that still remains to be answered is whether or not depression actually can lead to worse outcomes, or whether depression is an indicator, or marker, for some other risk factor,' Georgiades says." |

- Some software developers may find their applications no longer work on machines using Microsoft Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, which will be released later this year. Microsoft has made something of a trade-off with the update, focusing on security improvements at the expense of backward compatibility. The company has called on all software developers to test their code against the beta version of Service Pack 2, or face the possibility that the update will break their handiwork. |
