I think the lack of jailbreak in iOS 10 was not only due to lack of availability, but also lack of demand. Jailbreaks on early iPhones added tons of great features that made the risk of jailbreaking worthwhile. These days, I think most users are generally happy with the status quo.
Reminds me of PHP CEO's tweet: "If you had bad experiences with scrum you just did scrum wrong. If you had good experiences making software you just accidentally did scrum".
Yes, inside the fusion fuel capsule there is typically a small amount of fissile material. The fusion capsule is compressed through the very strong forces from the ablation of the capsule's outer material. This compresses the fusion fuel as well as the "sparkplug" inside. The sparkplug doesn't need to contain much fissile material compared to an ordinary fission bomb core because the high degree of compression makes it easier to achieve critical conditions. The sparkplug explodes as a fission bomb, injecting heat energy into the fusion fuel capsule and driving up the conditions (temperature and pressure) which cause fusion reactions. It also injects neutrons which kickstarts the breeding of Tritium from Li-6 and Li-7.

Sometimes the "pusher" around the fusion fuel capsule is also made of fissile material which gets compressed, or imploded, just like a normal fission bomb core, but with much higher forces and so much greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Additionally, while Uranium-238 is not normally fissile it can be fissioned with high energy neutrons. The "problem" with U-238 is that the energy range of neutrons that induce fissions only partly overlaps with the natural energy range of neutrons produced by fission reactions. Meaning that on average a given neutron emitted by a U-238 fission will cause fewer than 1 additional fissions, so it can't self-sustain a neutron induced fission chain reaction (which, I guess, is a good thing, otherwise nuclear bombs would be nearly trivial to make). However, fusion reactions generate very high energy neutrons, essentially all of which can cause fission in U-238. For this reason many thermonuclear weapons have a natural or depleted Uranium casing. Fission in the casing typically doubles the yield of the weapon compared to the yield from the primary/secondary fission/fusion reactions.

All of this can be dialed to suit different desires for bomb production or yield. For example, the "Tsar Bomba" was a 100 megaton 3 stage thermonuclear warhead design, it was tested without a fissionable Uranium outer casing to avoid production of nearly 50 megatons worth of fission product fallout over the test site (which was in Russia), as a result it exploded at around 50 MT yield, almost all of which (97%) was from fusion reactions. On the other hand, you have a device like the W-88 which is an incredibly compact warhead carried on US SLBM submarines. It is a thermonuclear warhead but you could also look at it as a two stage fission-fission device with a heavily fusion boosted secondary, as most of the yield comes from fission in the secondary and the casing.
I accepted much better. The grammers and spellingses ate not goods.
You eventually get to a Pareto optimal front where the changes you make to your system aren't necessarily better, just different (i.e. more bass at the loss of some other part of the spectrum, which you may or may not prefer).
I purposely chose to build on angular 1 instead of angular 2 when I started a project about a year ago. I'm actually glad I did, because every question you have has an answer already on the internet. I think it's actually good to stay behind the times in a lot of ways, let everybody else work out the bugs, then jump on board once it's all working well. Of course if I started now I would go with Vue, which I think is what angular 2 should have been - faster and simpler.

Really? With every transaction, such as in this example a coffee, your credit score would be checked? And who would do the checking? Would that be centralized?

I like Bitcoin but I think it faces a few challenges unrelated to this article: 1. It takes longer than 10 minutes to explain what value it provides to the average person (particularly in a Western country where their currency has not been devalued) 2. Its slow and cumbersome to move dollars onto an exchange in order to attain Bitcoin. 3. It's highly risky. I think it has plenty of intrinsic value reflected by the network of people willing to sustain it but at the end of the day, it's more like a stock than a currency. 4. There's no one to call if you lose your hash - no customer support, no backup. Does this really work well for most people? 5. And it now has a lot of competitors who offer a similar/better setup and want a piece of the pie...
Most likely they will all come from affected industries since they are the only stakeholders in Pruitt's mind.
> Some languages lack of providing an appropriate aggregation alternative generally keeps inheritance alive.

I might not be understanding well, but are you talking of languages that happen to have no _composition_? But do have inheritance? Sounds like those with inheritance are a strict subset of those with composition (which in turn would be all but fringe languages).

In 2010, Twitter was using a graph database, FlockDB, instead of a relational database to implement their social graph where relationships like following and followers are represented as edges between nodes that represent people.
It's since been deprecated, and I'm not sure what type of database they're using today. Anyway, they have a nice write-up blog post [1] and FlockDB is open source [2].

Gee, maybe people shouldn't be forced into working 60 hour work weeks to barely scrape by, and then we'd have time to try to socialize outside of work, form real relationships with people we're find ourselves attracted to, under appropriate circumstances.

But no. Not a chance.

We get roped into hundreds and thousands and tens of thousands of hours of coding camps and university curiculum, and then spat out into a constant professional grind with treadmills that never end, and no other life beyond a professional one.

Clothes, cell phones, cars, gas, houses, utilities, drinking, and razor thin budgets to maintain all these things, and no life except the life at work.

Why are women getting mobbed and groped in the workplace, because there's no free time, and nobody actually has lives outside of work. Everyone is pent up, and there's no actual culture anymore. Just work.

Don't pretend like this is a sexism thing. It's an economic thing. And not just some work/life balance garbage.

This is about being able to afford to live a life among your peers, at eye level, just treading water, without working 80 hours and 3 jobs.

If you want runtime assertions with flow you can use flow-runtime [0].

Babylon merged TypeScript support yesterday [1]. This means that in the future it should be easier to setup Babel with TypeScript.

I agree with the decision to go with TypeScript. It has drastically better community support. Most third-party components won't have flow annotations. Flow would've been a lot more successful from the start if it had started out with DefinitelyTyped support. Heck, even now I'm still wondering why they don't do that.

Well UV light and oxidation cause disc-rot[0], so even if you leave them in their cases, they will eventually go bad. Therefore the only choice is keep them in a temperature and light controlled underground environment. Self-burned media tends to rot even faster.

And my point was mostly that if you're DJing with them, it's hard to keep them in pristine condition.

Unlikely. The demand for pirated material (games) has not diminished. Also its hard to explain why the iPhone suddenly lacks demand for jailbreak when the Android modding community still thrives.

Jailbreaking was not a thing for most users.

> seem to prove otherwise

Prove how? They could have succeeded in spite of dynamic typing, not because of it. Facebook defined a new programming language to add static typing to HHVM. The process of plugging into WordPress is infamous in its disorganization.

There’s a lack of good statically-typed languages, so it’s natural for many popular things to be built in dynamically-typed ones, but that doesn’t make the dynamic typing approach better.
As the developer of Cydia, I work very closely with the people who work on these exploits (and am often, though not quite always, seen as sufficiently "neutral" to be talking to multiple groups at once), and the primary factor for iOS 10 really is that the device is now extremely secure combined with "some of the people who previously had worked attacking the device played mercenary and 'switched sides' when Apple came by looking to hire them" (which both makes it more secure and reduces the brain power available to the side of the resistance). Apple also changed their policies for fixing bugs, even low-priority ones, to get patches out sooner (and the jailbreaks also started being forced to use higher priority bugs, so the windows of applicability for various tools has been extremely low in the last couple years).

A big thing to understand is that the jailbreaks have also become "more complex to use and maintain for the user" in addition to "less likely to be found" for the developers: the jailbreaks available for iOS 9.3 and later versions are brutal... they take the form of an app that you had to install using a tool I wrote called Cydia Impactor, which pretends to be Xcode and do all of the signing for a "free developer account". Every time you reboot your device, it is no longer jailbroken, and you have to run this app, which sometimes doesn't work (on iOS 10 I'd even say it "only" sometimes works ;P); and the app itself expires every 7 days (Apple restriction on free developer accounts), and so you have to keep reinstalling it using Impactor. Finally, if you break anything at all that causes SpringBoard to not be able to pop up (as you need to get all the way to "I can see this app and click it" for the jailbreak to work), you have to format your device (losing all your data) and restore to fix it... older jailbreaks were much more forgiving, as you could still log in via SSH if the device even sort of was able to start.

I'll also say that the general issue you bring up was also true for iOS 7 and 8, but there were tons of people who jailbroke even with iOS 9. When jailbreaks are available and easy to use, developers do cool things that are able to tempt users to do it; it is like: why does anyone install an app when I bet they don't really need it? Well, spending $3 for some random app that only slightly affects what you do is worth it: the cost is low to match the low benefit; so it doesn't really matter that much if the benefit isn't "insane killer thing that everyone has to do or the phone is worthless": it only has to be greater than the cost, and the cost went up so high and so fast during the past year and a half that even I have been "living without" a feature I used every single day numerous times and am constantly sad to not have right now, because "damn it, I just don't want to have to spend ten minutes rebooting my phone over and over again in the hope that this broken jailbreak works".
I recently had to do some Node.js scripting. My JavaScript experience was minimal and having worked almost exclusively with typed languages I considered Typescript. I decided against it eventually because I figured you need to know JavaScript first to understand the JavaScript ecosystem even if you are writing your own code in TypeScript.

Does this make sense or is it feasible to skip learning JavaScript and jump directly to TypeScript?
I think you risk minimizing the problem. Yes sexism is near-universal, but there are other areas with housing shortages, and other hard-charging industries, that don't have the problem at this scale. Your third point, I think, is true--and we should look at the specific nature of the power imbalances in Silicon Valley.

Founders are often young and relatively inexperienced, which puts them at a social disadvantage relative to VCs and executives. They're often asking for investments of time and money, which leaves them open to requests for inappropriate quid pro quos. Because companies grow (and shrink) so fast here, a lot of them don't have institutional structures in place, like HR departments, to prevent or deal with these abuses. Because HR is seen as a bureaucratic, non-productive function, it's often disrespected as a necessary evil when present. And the prevailing belief that Silicon Valley is something like a pure meritocracy can be distorted into a sort of law of the jungle ethos, where everyone is responsible only to themselves, and out to get theirs--and lead those on the receiving end of abuse to feel like they have to deal with it on their own.

I don't disagree with what you say, but I think the above factors are more impactful than the isolation, which is certainly real.
