I wasn't in the room, and a lot of it depends on the vibe, facial expression, atmosphere, personalities, etc.

But agreed - as read, my initial interpretation was not even remotely as one of the threat. Perhaps advice, or conclusion, or discussion. It depends hugely what else was said though - I doubt it was truly "and that was the end of that" in the sense that those words were the only ones spoken at that meeting, or outside of that meeting.

> its (much more powerful than Java) generics

Yeah, it's also interesting to point out how useful to FP C# 11's further improvements to generics are. Generic Math, which the IMonoid<T> in this example is a part of explaining a small related piece of (static abstract interfaces), is another place where C# is improving generics (further beyond Java).

The list of interfaces in the much expanded System.Numerics namespace where most of the raw implementation of Generic Math lives should look quite interesting, if not familiar, to many FP developers: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.numerics...

It will be interesting to see where libraries take Generic Math.

A career can be meaningful or meaningless. It can be meaningful if you are making money doing something you feel it's important to do in the world: for example, nature conservation work. I am working on that, and in that realm I care about the work I do. But I also have a corporate job, where I'm just hired to do something for someone else. In that case, it's only about money and I just satisfy the job description without putting anything more into it. In that case I'm just using it to make enough money to support my future projects and I don't plan on staying here much longer.

So what is your reason for posting this, then? You don't think us plebes can determine this was an opinion piece based on the title alone? I'm genuinely perplexed.
Good question. Custom data is tricky. The first thing we always try to do is dig deep into the FHIR spec to see if the data is truly custom, or if there is an existing FHIR representation that will actually work. In many cases, there are good options, and it's nice to work within the spec.

If not, then falling back to extensions is the next logical step. FHIR extensions can be clunky to work with. Our client libraries provide a bunch of helper utilities to make it easier.

In extreme cases, we have created custom FHIR resources via custom StructureDefinition and SearchParameter resources to represent completely unique data elements (examples: https://github.com/medplum/medplum/blob/main/packages/defini...).

Impressive work! I used to work at a tele-health startup that spent the majority of R&D building in-house EHR. We couldn't find any EHR solution that works out of the box, and is extendable enough to build custom features for our need. We totally would have tried Medplum if you guys launched earlier.

Congrats on the launch!

Everything Meta is doing today can be explained by Zuck's frustration with not owning a mobile OS (VR) and knowing that he has already lost the new generation (Reels and Rooms).

> The trouble is, Facebook is so deep underwater PR-wise and user-content-quality-wise (in America at least, India still loves it), that subconscious evaluations of which app to open are facing very strong headwinds now.

Yes, the trouble is that ordinary people are making incorrect subconscious evaluations based on bad PR, such on the nose verbiage from you.
It's important to remember that modern social media is a complete assault on your dopamine receptors. If you take a look at your feed, a vanishingly small amount of the content Facebook belches up is created by your friends. Instead you're shown content that you're likely to interact with.

That's not to mention that people use social media as a substitute for personally reaching out to friends.
It's great to see (and to see you have fans here) -- Veeva for EHR?

If/since this is a freemium model, can you talk about the kinds of features you would end up charging for?

The 2019 state of open-source EHR is reported here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6517630/

It would be interesting if published an assessment of your status and plans using their criteria.

I've seen practices successfully using two of the recommended EHR systems. Technically most seem in the ballpark, but the key seems to be whether there is a robust community validating the code and providing timely support. In that respect, another open-source alternative is not necessarily a good thing. Do you have any community-building hires in mind?

As for clients: the adopters are often medical people who picked up enough technology to wire things together, and do so for their practice employees. They're not super interested in sharing the secret sauce of their practice with consultants who will simply repurpose that knowledge for the competition. The most successful OS EHR's seem to be configurable by these adopters.

But it seems medplum targets developers (not the practice professional). If (since) those developers may have a tough time, do you have designs to pivot to new low-code approaches for end-user?

Conversely, if you stick with the EHR-AAS back end, the trend of the last few years has been for private equity to buy practice groups. I don't see yet the incremental value for the adopter or users of your offering over existing EHR's. But equity would be super eager to buy practices with EHR's ready to audit for due diligence before purchase and ready to integrate after. That could be a selling point for practice managers. Do you have any biz-dev plans to coordinate with the equity groups playing in the medical space, or investments from them, to tide you over the long process of gaining mindshare in a conservative market?
Good point, I agree that it did not. Were those ideas however progress, or a tool that the Committee of Public Safety used because it fit their agenda?

Was this philosophy finding truth that guided policy, or was it making up rhetorical arguments in a power struggle on behalf of the rising middle class and its policy?

In absence of criteria of non empirical truth that are independent of the very non empirical truths they are criteria for I tend to believe the latter.

In addition to this inherent weakness philosophical arguments are not for the masses anyways. Not even philosophers usually agree what they mean or entail. How could those idea(l)s have guided the revolution as more than just superficial self justification?

Remember that the enemies of the French Revolution had their philosophers too, they just lost.

Historical events usually have very mundane reasons, class struggles, geopolitics etc. Ideas may play a part too. But I believe not in the sense that they are the horses in front of the cart.

I'll take this opportunity to plug the Iron Law of Bureaucracy which states that in any organization there are two kinds of people: those loyal to the goals of the org, and those loyal to the org itself. Organizations tend to get captured by those loyal to the org itself, even though the people loyal to its goals are the ones you actually want running the show. Eventually you end up with a top-heavy organization that's divorced from its stated goals and exists only to further its own influence and existence. You'll find it in schools, cancer charities, government, etc.

Maybe on Windows, idk, but I am not sure how Google Search could do it on either iOS or macOS.

On iOS, there is no mouse cursor, so there is nothing to track in the first place.

On macOS, you have to give permissions on a per-app and per-domain basis. For example, if I want to let Google Maps use my current location, first I will get a prompt to give that permission to the browser I am using in the OS settings, and then I have to give that permission again from within the browser specifically for Google Maps. Also, the web browser shows which specific permissions a page I am on has, and I can revoke them at any given time. Same thing for tracking mouse cursor movements, except it is governed by the macOS accessibility permissions iirc, rather than location permissions, and I don't remember Google Search ever requesting that. Just checked, and the only app that has those permissions on my machine is Discord, and it requested those only when I attempted screensharing.

Maybe I am mistaken, and there is some trick around needing permissions to track mouse cursor movements in a browser on macOS (especially given how complex in-browser JS execution behaviors have gotten over time). In which case, someone please correct me.

I agree though, tracking mouse cursor movements is definitely a bit more surprising and unexpected than tracking what you type in the website's search bar. Which I would be way more surprised by it not being tracked. It's like expecting Amazon or Steam or Twitter to not track what queries you search for in their search bars (which all of them definitely do, as evident by you being able to look at your search history from within the website).
I see it's being prescribed, and to a small-ish number of people (400), so perhaps it's in a trial phase? FDA has 5 phases for medical device development (googled below):

Step 1: Device Discovery and Concept.
Step 2: Preclinical Research-Prototype.
Step 3: Pathway to Approval.
Step 4: FDA Device Review.
Step 5: FDA Post-Market Device Safety Monitoring.

They could be on step 3, where they do clinical trials. Maybe working with the VA, or perhaps they advertised at VA hospitals or veteran's groups. I would imagine that's the easiest group to find and recruit into your trial.
From their FAQ [1]:

If I have an Apple Watch® and iPhone®, can I bring them to my doctor to download NightWare apps?

No. NightWare is not an app. When your doctor writes a prescription for NightWare, you will receive an all-inclusive kit including everything you need to receive the digital therapy, including a preprogrammed Apple Watch® and preprogrammed iPhone.®

I'm going to take a wild guess and say the markup charged to insurance companies for these devices are probably insane

I'm not saying everyone is. I'm just saying the people I know who are, or have the ambition to become, CEOs etc are that way. My sample size is low, and does not include FAANG. Perhaps FAANG is more meritocracy and less politics (and I'm talking about management, not ICs). In finance and healthcare admin (CEO) it seems it's about image and politics, with the ones I know being pretentious assholes.
I mean this story is cathartic, but I don't get what the "rabble rousers" expected to happen. You don't go into a meeting like that to present problems, but to present solutions. And a 12 month delay on a $60 million contract isn't a solution, it's another problem for the sales/client success people. And doing it in front of a group of management, no less - that's like firing a shot across the bow, declaring that the current PM team is incompetent.

It doesn't matter if you're right, it matters how you communicate and strategize. This seems to be a skill that many people lack. This sounds like a conversation that should be had with a handful of managers who you can convince to your side, and concoct a plan to stage the product development and release such that it gets done and you don't cost a giant contract (and people's jobs).

People talk shit about office politics, but sometimes you need to read the room...
It sounds to me like you want some way to engage with what the other person is sharing. I find that I get a lot of mileage out of asking <i>really dumb questions.</i>

So with your example, I would first accept their feelings - we've all been insecure about jobs from time to time - and then try to probe into them.

"Has your boss been talking about money being tight? Did one of your big customers just drop?"

"Has your boss been talking about your performance? Do you see others on your team being dismissive of your role?"

Questions like this let the counterparty know that a) they matter to you and b) you're hearing what they're saying. I think that's what you're saying you want to convey. I could be way off base here.

No, they are different because of how the UI works (also different on TikTok).

On facebook, you have to "enter into" a comment thread. Doing so makes it harder to scroll and causes you to consume less content. On Instagram this actually loads a new page and you can't scroll any more.

"Entering into" a comment section is bad for scrolling, it decreases ads consumption in the short term (per session) and the medium term (time scales of weeks or months). It increases ads consumption in the long term (years) very indirectly, because people enjoy the product more.

Even though it decreases "scrolling", Facebook attempts to cause people to "enter into" the comment section. This isn't an "achtually point, it's a real difference in how laymen would want to regulate companies like FB.

Now there are other problems with what I described, for example people might "enter into" comments to engage in political arguments or become polarized, but that's a different topic that Facebook also spends a lot of money attempting to solve.

Good question. We take this seriously, and try to keep the dependency footprint small (which is a challenge in the node/npm ecosystem). We try to stick with large, battle-tested dependencies (express, react, etc). For less popular projects, we will clone and run and perform our own internal audit.

We also follow best practices with automated tools like Sonar and Dependabot to automatically scan dependencies. We've gone through multiple pen tests. There's no silver bullet though, so it's a constant battle.
There may be a self-selection filter at work driving whom you are meeting--you may not be aware of it. That being said the promise of the Bootstrappers Breakfast is to join other entrepreneurs who eat problems for breakfast in a serious conversation.

We don't attract a lot of the "make money while you sleep" or "four hour work week" folks--but I don't consider them entrepreneurs. I think there are two critical elements of an an entrepreneurial disposition:

1. Commit to the exchange of value for value, of quid pro quo. This does not preclude acts of generosity and kindness.

2. Cultivate the capability to take prudent risks to explore and learn. It embeds the realization that failure is a real possibility and a plan that anticipates how to survive a sequence of small failures (of “affordable losses”) is far preferable to incurring a substantial loss that bankrupts you.
Not sure how to feel about this TBH. On one hand, yeah, it is clearly a pretty big screw-up on the part of the contracting company, to provide $60M without sufficient specifications as to exactly what they are trying to buy. On the other, accepting $60M without providing anything of value seems pretty unethical.
What a shitty post. 41 lines of shit.

For many of these proceedings, the DOJ will pick whichever charges are the most likely for a jury to convict (i.e. simple & unambiguous crime) rather than the most harmful. Once the guilty/not-guilty determination is made, then a judge can (usually) apply discretion to take into account aggregate harm to all stakeholders during sentencing.

Preferences seem to matter here, some people just seem to do better with longer cycles of feedback on more items than shorter cycles on fewer items. And some people really may need that "my code is compiling, it'll take a while and there's nothing I can do" break to mock-sword fight or whatever, almost like a pomodoro break between periods of intense focus. But there is some data on what could be, and you can of course measure your own latency on things.

More narrowly defined, in the Java world JRebel is a product that can eliminate many kinds of forced redeploys after code changes -- or more simply, stopping and restarting your program and waiting for everything to come back up and reconfigure any necessary state to get back to what you were doing. I saved so much time thanks to it. Their own marketing materials suggest just this waiting on redeploys thing can quickly add to 20% of salaried time. (https://www.jrebel.com/sites/rebel/files/pdfs/rw-mythbusters...) Using it almost gets within javelin distance of what CL has always had, and gives you the flexibility to develop and debug in a more interactive style without having to go TDD or rewrite in ABCL.

I haven't been keeping up (so would love to be informed things are otherwise) but I thought it was a shame that the JS front-end world seemed to finally be creeping up on where ClojureScript was in 2014 or so for interactive low-latency development, but then suddenly took several steps backwards with TypeScript -- with respect to interactivity at least, I don't doubt people's claims of steps forward on other metrics.
That appears to be a marketing website, so it's not even clear if the story is true.
