Life

He was born on August 13, 1951,[1] in Rochester, Monroe County, New York. The family moved to Brighton when Richard was still in school. He attended McQuaid Jesuit High School. He graduated B.A. in English from St. Michael's College, Toronto in 1973. Then he worked for three years as a journalist for the Newton–Waltham News Tribune. He graduated J.D. from Albany Law School in 1980, and began the practice of law in Rochester.[2]

He also entered politics as a Democrat, and was a member of the Monroe County Legislature from 1988 to 1992. He was a member of the New York State Senate (54th D.) from 1993 to 2002, sitting in the 190th, 191st, 192nd, 193rd and 194th New York State Legislatures. In July 2002, he announced that he would not seek re-election later that year.[3] Afterwards he was Brighton Town Justice. In November 2008, he ran again for the State Senate (56th D.),[4] but was defeated by the incumbent Republican Joseph Robach.

In 2009, Dollinger was appointed to the New York Court of Claims.[5]

When the programmer looks down the "power continuum", he considers the lower languages to be less powerful because they miss some feature that a Blub programmer is used to. But when he looks up, he fails to realise that he is looking up: he merely sees "weird languages" with unnecessary features and assumes they are equivalent in power, but with "other hairy stuff thrown in as well". When Graham considers the point of view of a programmer using a language higher than Blub, he describes that programmer as looking down on Blub and noting its "missing" features from the point of view of the higher language.
