> What am I doing wrong?

I got some very helpful answer to this. The most important one was probably "Just ask the other people there how things get assigned." (And independent of front- or back-end engineering, while reading what everyone had to say, I realized I should figure out how go back to smaller companies; I am usually happier putting out fires with a small group of people.)

I appreciate it, HN. Thanks!

Lol those numbers are probably people who made it to court. Not very long ago (December), border control encountered 15k people per day who turned themselves in for processing. They're getting court dates up to 8 years out. In the meantime, they get to stay and work.
You mostly have to look at the time frames between C# adding features with new ABIs and the time it takes for F# to announce they can actually consume them.

For example, F# used to crash the CLR with InvalidProgramException when setting C# `init` properties. [1] It took almost three years, I think, to release the fix.

[1]: https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-suggestions/issues/904

Another rough example would be spans, and their more general feature, byref-like types (ref struct). These required plenty of compiler support, as they've got special lifetime rules (and more pending to implement `scoped`), they are banned as generic type arguments, and they require ignoring a special Obsolete attribute.

While these were added to F# timely, many language features still break when they interact with them: local functions, computation expressions (even the built-in ones), recursive type inference, and generic intrinsic methods such as `raise`, `defaultof` or `typeof`.

This wouldn't be so bad if C# hadn't "spanified" the shared framework and the entire ecosystem without CLS alternatives for many APIs.

So, these natural F# snippets don't compile:

let numbers = [| for span in text.EnumerateLines() -> Int32.Parse span |]

let checkNonEmpty (span: ReadOnlySpan<'T>) =
if span.Length > 0 then span else failwith "Expected non-empty span."

Edit: And I haven't even gotten into the libraries that use reflection expecting you to declare types in ways F# doesn't support.
To be clear I don't really come from "the other side". I very much enjoy and like functional programming. But again, that's what F# is for, right? If we push the state of the art in another directrion, the whole landscape benefits more - because I think we both agree C# is never going to be a better FP language than F#.

As for what C# could do better, the OO solution to the problem pattern matching solves is multiple dispatch - with single dispatch languages you need things like the visitor pattern. Making that a first class part of C# would be fantastic.

I can’t speak to Rust but there have been plenty of C# repls in the past.

> The problem I think really comes down to there being a generic Truvada.

Truvada has been generic for about six years now.

> I recently switched insurance companies and my new one covers Truvada completely, not even a copay. It’s honestly kinda wild I pay more for my Adderall than I do prep.

That's because under the ACA, insurance companies are legally required to cover PrEP at no out-of-pocket cost, without any cost-sharing, copays, or deductibles applied. This also applies to associated labwork and outpatient office visits.

Unfortunately, many insurance companies ignore this requirement, and it's very difficult as an individual to get them to comply.
Oh interesting, will give it another go, thnx

It would be hard to count. Basically every customer we had on Release 1.0 was an iteration towards this. If you go to https://release.com it's there and we have many happy customers using it. There are definitely challenges with that business, however, that made us look for easier ways to get people using the platform we had built. People looking to do ephemeral environments have a lift to move their environment definitions into Release and it's a work effort that needs prioritization. Release.ai is built on the same platform and because AI frameworks are more turn key than bespoke software stacks companies have been building on, we believe Release.ai will be easier to adopt. In the long run AI applications and traditional web applications are going to merge and we think we're the platform that will do that in the long run. Long story short, hundreds of iterations.

The price is rarely ever about the manufacturing cost.

"A new study in 2020 estimated that the median cost of getting a new drug into the market was $985 million, and the average cost was $1.3 billion, which was much lower compared to previous studies, which have placed the average cost of drug development as $2.8 billion.[4]"

I intend it as server to server but you made me think about this specific case. I might have found a solution that bypass and solve the problem you are referring to but I need to deeply think about it. Not only needs to be secured the API Key (which is solved by the solution I have in mind), but also the content/payload of the request (otherwise the client would change the amount of credits).
> What would it take for C# and/or others to "do OO well"?

Multiple inheritance. (j/k)
I have seen Arcoroc glassware, I guess it's similar? Normally they break into a million pieces, but one plate failed spontaneously with hole falling out the bottom... I think it must have been overheated earlier.
At runtime every value of any of these types are tagged in some some way. The struct based ones with an explicit tag member that is not visible at the language level. All the rest by way of the object's runtime type (v-pointer).

Which means the fact that some look at a language level like a traditional closed sum type, and others look more like a union type is pretty much just that, looks. Even the "ad hoc unions" are basically functioning as sum types here, just an ad hoc sum type whose type constructors are other types, and abusing the fact that classes or boxed structs all have a vptr that can be used as the discriminator.

This all compiles down to code that pattern matches on either the explicit tag member, or on the runtime type, and after the pattern match you basically have a normal type to work with. Hence why they are lumping it all together.
I think a similar but perhaps more accurate question is how did we prioritize virtual dispatch over ADTs?

And I think the answer has a lot to do with the expression problem [1] and which kinds of extensibility were needed in the kinds of programs that languages at the time were designed for.

OOP with subtyping and virtual dispatch makes it very easy to define an interface with a set of methods, and then have an open-ended set of concrete classes that all reliably implement those methods. It makes it easy to say "I don't know what data types I'll need yet, but I do know what operations I'll need."

ADTs flip that around. That make it easy to express "I don't know what operations I'll need yet, but I do know what data types I'll need."

For the kinds of simulations that Kristen Nygaard and Bjarne Stroustrup were writing, and then later the large GUI applications that C++ users were building, it seems that the former was more useful than the latter.

An important difference is that we are monitoring your database for abnormalities like replica lag, server crashes (for whatever reason), etc. We are handling server and extension updates. We are trying to make it so that your database is not something you have to worry about in the slightest.

A good 2TB TLC NVMe 4.0 drive went for 100 USD when the prices bottomed out, but Samsung and friends cut the supply.

Quantity ingested
Using a third-party organization to establish common selling prices amongst independent sellers appears to be suspect. Even if the sellers don't actively "collude" to set the price.

This is what is happening in the San Francisco rental marketplace, right now.

As for buyers (advertisement buyers) belonging to a group that evidently was colluding with various buyers to induce their wider membership to exclude a subset of sellers (websites) because of their political leanings?

Maybe this is just activist "boycotting". If every ad buying company in the organization, and every agency was aware that they were all trying to penalize websites that held certain opinions, that should be fine: It's just the "Anti-Conservative Ad Buying Club". No harm, no foul -- Just baddies like X, Daily Wire, Zero Hedge, etc. get hurt.

But, it doesn't appear that everyone involved knew that was the game being played. They were just members of an ad industry organization that recommended good behaviour.

If so, then everyone should be OK if some companies join an "Anti Leftist Ad Buyers Club", and boycotts CNN, WaPo, etc.? Right??
Great point.

I'm no fan of pharma industry but there's an unfounded and troubling assumption embedded in this comment: that any drug price over cost-to-manufacture can only be extortion. How do people recoup R&D costs (which are the vast majority of costs in getting a new drug onto the market)?

To echo this with a for instance; I used to loathe running meetings. I fumbled. I wasn’t confident. I was disorganized.

Now, after running more than I can count, I look forward to it! I got gud. Every meeting was an opportunity to practice and learn more about how to run them effectively. I played with strategies and even though most didn’t work, I found out what did work.

I'm not; it's passive-aggressive. Any dialogue of the form "Yes"/"Ask Later" is a framing that prevents you from saying "No, go away forever, I don't want this ever".
Genuine question, what do you mean by "learn the framework" ? (I mainly work with c#, I constantly worry I am not proactive enough in my learning).
> Cost comes down over time, and more testing occurs over time, somewhat by definition.

Truvada has been around for over twenty years, and generic for 4-5 years. It still costs $2000/month list price.

More testing doesn't just magically happen either. Gilead has chosen for years not to pursue testing, let alone approval, for Descovy in various groups excluded from the original clinical trials. They've decided it's not profitable enough for them. The same could very easily happen with lencapavir, and in fact there's good reason to suspect it will.
I'm thinking about it. Would you be more interested in testing the API or see Creduse in action in an existing web app for example? (I imagine testing the api)
A knowledge curse: how knowledge can reduce human welfare
I wonder if any astronaut is ever going to say "no" if offered/asked to go back to space, regardless of past experiences? It's a massive privilege, and they are all highly disciplined pros.
Almost all health insurance companies in the USA are required to fully cover PrEP, including Descovy. This doesn't stop health insurance companies from trying to deny you, of course. You would have to appeal the denial all the way up to your state's department for health insurance, but you would definitely win.

EDIT: I was mistaken, this only applies in California.
You might be able to ask a plumber to snake a camera into the outlets and do a visual inspection on the inside. That said, it might not tell you if they used real, actual drainage rock + fabric as opposed to just surrounding it in dirt just via visual inspection, although I suppose based on the amount of dirt buildup you might be able to tell.
Because when shooting, you focus your vision on a pistol iron sights, so you need to see perfectly sharp on a distance less than 1m. Not sure if you can “cheat” with glasses to have better vision on that distance, if your vision is healthy

We added sum types and exhaustive pattern matching in Dart 3.0.

Union types (what the proposal here calls "ad hoc unions") are a separate, much harder feature whose value proposition is less clear. The cost of adding a new kind to the type system is quite large because it impacts method resolution, overriding, type inference, subtyping, least upper bound, generics, type promotion, etc.

It can be worth it (for example, we added tuple/record types in Dart 3.0), but the value proposition must be correspondingly high to justify it. It's not clear that union types meet that bar yet. In many if not most of the places where users are asking for it, it often seems like what they really want is overloading or some other feature.

Interesting. Maybe it's not just about not being a regulated medical device, but who pays for it (insurance). So maybe the conspiracy that's tru is the payers can be expected to not want to have to pay so much, or so often.

I'm very happy for who CPAP works for.

I have lots of friends who's quality of life it improves.

Had a doctor friend even recommend it to me.

I took the CPAP test from a said sleep centre as referred by my doctor just to be present. Wore the machine 3 times.

The folks who in my life swore I had some issues with sleep (including my partner), including loud inter floor snoring, oddly reduced or resolved themselves to some degree as soon as I started paying attention to my sleep and body.

Snoring it turns out can also be a magnified by being over tired.

I just wasn't sleeping enough, and while I felt sharp enough to work and live, my body needed a breather when there hadn't been a vacation for a few years. A few days off here and there yes, but sometimes that's not enough.
> Adding a thin coating of gold would not necessarily change that structure

My confusion is that I would normally expect a layer of gold not to permit any light to pass through. The underlying structure wouldn't be receiving any light, so there would be no photons to trap. Apparently a layer of gold can be applied thinly enough to transmit appreciable light, though.
