He might have killed the people who reported to him, who in turn did everything to make that project happen, future cost and risk be damned.

I just don't understand why you assume that the risks were not disclosed to the government. In my eyes, it's way more likely that the government decided to go ahead anyway. This was one of Saddam Hussein's prestige projects -

I think you are wrong to dismiss that point so harshly, when all empirical data shows it to be true. Engineering, Hosting, Marketing, Monetisation, all those things are massively cheaper when done by one big player. There is a reason publis

I think that is highly questionable. Sum Types are a different approach with some advantages and some disadvantages over inheritance. Nothing more and nothing less. They really shine if you have clearly defined types that seldom change. On

I do not understand how you want to break the invariants by subclassing. My ActiveUser can be deleted and my DeletedUser can be reactivated. How do you break that?
289.
by thomasz 11y ago
I don't get it. It is perfectly valid to use immutability and the Type system to enforce those invariants in c#. abstract class User { public string Name { get; } abstract bool IsActive { get; }

You can buy a license for the test suite and run it against your own implementation.

by thomasz 11y ago
Case in point: You can define a type as an enum, a discriminated union, a record type, an interface, an abstract class, a class or a struct. You can have a primary constructor for a class or struct, or like a method with the new() keyword.

F# has downsides too. It's a way more complicated language with way more magic (type providers, custom computation expressions etc.) compared to c#.

If your code is in fact completely yours, and not derivative work of others, you can simply re-license. If it isn't, you can hardly claim that you were duped. Or are you really saying that anybody mislead you on the copyleft aspects of
