It seems to have been the i960MX and i960MC which had the funky object-oriented memory; they have long since been discontinued, and i can't find any documentation about them online, sadly.

EDIT: There's a passing mention in a book [1]

> The Intel i960 extended architecture processor used a tagged architecture with a bit on each memory word that marked the word as a "capability", not as an ordinary location for data or instructions. A capability controlled access to a variable-sized memory block or segment. The large number of possible tag values supported memory segments that ranged in size from 64 to 4 billion bytes, with a potential 2^256 different protection domains.

I don't think that will work well.

My wife got (on my recommendation) the starter config Air, and it's never occurred to me that there was anything inadequate about it (to be fair, two years in, she ran out of disk space and had to move a stash of photos to an external hard drive, and for me, I can't stand the tiny display, but it works for her, so that's great).
I don't believe that complexity or size of code really affects the difficulty of open sourcing a project. Its more likely the culture and daily development practices that are difficult to change, but probably not as difficult as the business strategy we're all wondering about.
I'm sorry, I've been away for a couple of hours... What happened ?

Why should I (we) block all facebook domains ?
I love this thread. I've been a long time HN lurker, but only fairly recently did I create an account and start contributing.

See the honesty and emotion on these comments really makes me feel I'm hanging out with a good bunch of people. It's so refreshing compared to the toxic communities of the other large social sites.

I'm a cryer. I cry a lot, I'm also clinically depressed with social anxiety, which makes social interaction difficult, so my emotional are mostly on the surface anyway. Crying for me is the best form of emotional release. I cry at the big ending in films, I cry at the end of amazing books (The Green Mile totally destroyed me, I was in business class on a plane at the time, blubbering my eyes out...).

On balance though, I also get very angry often. I guess you can't have one without the other...
We will be experimenting different configurations during the beta to find the right fit. Some details about the resources available are published in our documentation [1] and will be updated as we move forward.

It has no OSX & Linux support?
I’d like to point out that this is common at many universities for compsci undergrad students as 2nd-year project (although usually done simulated in Xilinx ISE and ISim).

It’s definitely interesting to do these things (I’m currently taking abovementioned course at my uni, designing first a 4-bit harvard architecture processor in Xilinx, and, after that’s done, in 2 weeks starting with designing a DLX in Xilinx), but it’s even more amazing to see someone actually build these things IRL (and thereby prove that these are actually useful skills to have!)
This is excellent news. Jenkins is often the hardest thing for people to get to grips with in a CI pipeline solely because of the UI/UX, and I, for one, welcome our redesigned build butlers... :)
Slightly off topic: It would be nice to have some kind of extension for Chrome that blocks all Time-Wasting websites with one click. Has anyone seen something like that?
Looks much better!

I've never used Jenkins for my own projects but I've used it before when Minecraft's 'bukkit' framework used to use it and it's a horrible piece of web software to navigate.
Procrastination perhaps?

I think having children locked up in factories away from their family and working under conditions where they lose their eyesight and health is not something I personally want to support.
Durden confuses me a bit. Is arcan completely standalone, does it replace X? The screenshots for durden show normal applications in Windows. Does that mean it is possible to install linux, install arcan and durden, and then run normal applications without needing to install X (I assume of course only those that do not rely direcly or indirectly on Xlib or xcb)? How does it compare to Wayland?

I guess I'm missing the positioning inside the existing linux-ecosystem.

Feedback: Having to whitelist applications in a database before being able to launch it sounds like a pain in the ass, and I predict that would be a feature that will absolutely prevent adoption.
Digg we go.
The main reason I haven't bought an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive is that both currently require Microsoft Windows. I have been Windows-free for several years now and I don't want to relapse for VR.

If both would support Linux, I'd go for the HTC Vive because it includes proper VR controllers and roomscale and I prefer Valves approach to exclusive titles.

My current "VR plan" is to get the PS4 VR when it is available and to bridge the time with the Google Daydream VR SDK..
I'm not an economist, but I'm currently studying economics as a hobby.

It's very hard to start debunking this myth perpetuated by Alan Jay Levinovitz because there is so many layers of math envy, overgeneralization, misunderstanding and misinformation.

Firstly, he is arguing mostly against finance sector, not against academic economics. We should make clear separation between money making economics where economists working in fiance sector for profits. Finance sector is large part of marketing funds and strategies and mathiness is good way to sell. Academic research shows that it's very hard to beat index in long term and you should be very skeptical. Secondly, we should separate economic policies, economic politics from academic economics.

Economics uses math and models as way of thinking. There are no economic models that capture all important variables, but modeling is the only way to see trough ideologies and have good discussions. Economics can do what Levinovitz wants it to do only if it becomes psychohistory in Isaac Asimov's Foundation universe.

For a good example of how current top 10 cited economist used math and models well, look at the work of Daron Acemoglu http://economics.mit.edu/faculty/acemoglu/paper
Not culturally. The idea of a mall as a pseudo-public space where people would go on weekends just as a place to kill a few hours needs the enclosed part. A "strip mall" is a place where you park, go to the one store you want, and drive off.

The BSM model is testable in every aspect. That the basic building blocks are just fucking small compared to a neutrino for example, is a physical problem. The model does not prevent you from measuring it, quite the contrary compared to many other unified models currently discussed.

You could for example find another plateau in FQHE and the model would be gone.

I love Jenkins, and it's incredibly important for our teams. The redesign offering much stronger focus on the pipeline is key in helping us (and perhaps many) teams move past the "Continuous build tool" phase and into the "Continuous integration/deployment" tool we would love!
Anecdotal, but I've heard friends of friends who earn 6 figure salaries worth of bounties for corporations, although some sound more like consultation type gigs.
Carmack was definitely taken by surprise, though he did eventually voice approval: http://www.theverge.com/2014/3/30/5563440/john-carmack-faceb...

Facebook's acquisition of Oculus was announced only a few days before Michael Abrash publicly joined the company. Not sure when Abrash made the decision to leave Valve for Oculus. He did shine a positive light on the Facebook acquisition in his welcome post, but as you suggested it's not as if he was going to badmouth his new employer either way: https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/introducing-michael-abrash...

Palmer Luckey, it seems, was at the very least aware of Facebook's interest and informed of the buy-out, though it sounds like Brendan Iribe handled the business decisions.

This was the best source I could find on what went on behind the scenes between Zuckerberg and Iribe:

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/09/oculus-rift-mark-zuck...

> Discussions ensued over the next few weeks, during which Facebook offered roughly $1 billion, which Iribe considered low. The deal seemed to peter out until late February, after news of the WhatsApp deal hit: Facebook had agreed to pay $19 billion for the messaging service. That got Iribe’s attention. “Hey Mark,” he wrote in an e-mail, “we should talk.”

> They agreed to meet. “Come up and see me,” Zuckerberg said, according to Iribe. “I’m not going to waste your time.”

> Iribe met with Zuckerberg for brunch on the patio at Zuckerberg’s Palo Alto home on a Sunday, in March. They ordered pizza, and Zuckerberg made a new offer: more than $2 billion in cash and stock. It was rich, considering that Oculus had not yet released a consumer product. Zuckerberg promised that Oculus would operate independently within Facebook, just as Instagram did and WhatsApp would. There would be games, sure, but eventually much more: news, sports, movies and TV, cat videos—everything. “I want to do this, and I want this to be the future of Facebook, long-term,” Zuckerberg said, but Iribe would have to act quickly and promise not to shop the deal.

> Oculus, by this point, had a board of directors that included four venture capitalists, one of whom was Andreessen. The board would have to approve the deal. Andreessen hated the idea of selling so quickly, without talking to Facebook’s competitors. “Don’t do this! Don’t do this! Don’t do this!” Iribe recalls Andreessen saying during a late-night meeting at his house after Zuckerberg’s initial offer. (In light of his role on Facebook’s board, Andreessen recused himself after Oculus’s founders began negotiations with Zuckerberg in earnest.) But the board approved the deal.

> It was sealed at Zuckerberg’s house just three days after his and Iribe’s Sunday meeting, over a dinner featuring mushroom risotto and scallops. The meal, Luckey recalls, was “so good.” And Facebook was the right fit. “I knew I was going to want to work in V.R. for the rest of my life. Anything that can make the industry big and successful … that’s a supercool world that I want to live in.”
For the heater, if you own rather than rent your home then consider buying air con!

a spilt system air con with reverse cycle (so it acts as a heat pump) is super efficient (more than 100%) and takes up no floor space. Also by convective heating it feels warmer faster than radiation.
And photography came of age in the 1840's. We could have had something like integrated circuits shortly after. What a world that would have been with steam power and solid state calculating engines!

I discovered that using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/waitblock/kcnjfepp... to add a delay before opening the time-wasting website actually works better when trying to procrastinate less. Waiting 60 seconds before Fb loads gives you enough time to think about whether you want to visit it, but is also not so inconveniencing that it would make you disable it straight away when you actually want to visit the site.
I'd say so. I've only used it for 2 years or so though ;-)

More seriously: I do install and uninstall a number of different applications frlm time to time and I guess the (minor) snags I have seen results mostly from that.

Moving it seems like a mammoth task. Think of all the flight & hotel bookings that would change. The disruption it would cause makes it near impossible that it will be changed now, I think.

I don't mean to suggest that it wouldn't be worth cancelling or changing if the health risk is so big, just that (like with climate change), humans have a disorder when it comes to this sort of thing.
I just wish they would have used this change to get rid of the weather icons ...

I wonder how fast cloud bees will upgrade their new exam [0] based on version 1.625.2 of the Jenkins core? The exams where only available since last month and already quite outdated since version 2.0 was introduced [1].

Ask HN: If UIs can be patented, why not APIs?
I'm trying to better understand the Oracle vs Google patent lawsuit. It seems like the dev/HN community has overwhelmingly come down on the side of Google, and the most common justification I hear, is that "Google might have copied the Java API, but they didn't copy any of the implementation. They reimplemented the entire thing themselves. Therefore, it's fine." The corollary here seems to be that APIs can't/shouldn't be patent-worthy - only the implementation should be protected.

This seems somewhat contradictory with the fact that UIs/UXs are frequently patented[1], and most people don't have a problem with it. If someone made a phone whose user interface was a clone of iOS, most people would agree that Apple would have a valid legal case against the copycat.

We recognize that a major portion of innovation comes not just from implementation, but also from elegant interface design. Hence why User Interfaces are deemed patent-worthy. So why not programmatic interfaces in the form of APIs as well?

you question does not make alot of sense.
I could be misunderstanding, but is that not what the secure cookie flag is for?
I'm no fan of gratuitous changes that introduce regressions, but with always connected devices it's crucial to have all security patches applied. That said, the solution seems to be to differentiate critical updates and feature updates and also split stuff into modules/packages.
I used to design and build whole systems from TTL logic in the 70s and 80s. The most integrated part was the ALU from AMD, otherwise, it was mostly NAND and NOR gates. Great fun, especially cause we knew how everything worked.
Some more words from Annette Hurst: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/death-free-software-how-googl...
This is probably a reaction to the news that Facebook is now officially tracking non-users to create shadow profiles and serve adverts to them off Facebook itself. I think it's the serve-adverts-off-Facebook-itself part that's the actual news; all of the moderately chilling tracking and profile construction was of course happening already.

http://www.theverge.com/2016/5/27/11795248/facebook-ad-netwo...
We do create separate issues for design and development :)

IMO having an explicit assignee is more clear than cc'ing someone, and it also makes it easier to see all issues that you're currently responsible for moving forward. At the end of the day whatever works best for the given team is what should be used. I don't think there is a definitively right or wrong approach. Our current approach works quite well, and this new feature is going to make things even easier.
"All the news that's fit to print!"
While it's a hyperbole the argument stems from 2 things as i can see it: The fact that Google ignored license restrictions, and the fact that Google "reworte" SUN's/Oracle's code and released it on a different license.
The lawyer thinks this can be used as a precedent for other companies to violate GPL in general not just where an API is concerned and this ruling would decrease the level of protection that GPL provides making companies less likely to use it for their software.
Fair enough; I can't say I've looked into the particular conditions of the production of Persian rugs, as I have never considered buying one.
Your list blocks fewer things, though.
Why I dislike Oculus specifically:

- Owned by Facebook, I don't want to lose even more personal data than I already have to them

- They made several promises that they did not hold (Stock availability for preordern, price range, controllers)

- The controllers aren't even available yet and kinda make the oculus useless (Vive has great controllers)

- Vive has better room-scale tracking of movement

- Requires at least a 970 (same as for the Vive) and I'm not really wanting to buy a new one since my 780 still holds damn well otherwise

- Already mentioned: Windows only

However my biggest issue with the Oculus is that they want to "VR-lock" games specifically for the Oculus and I think that's the shittiest move they could've pulled. This alone is a no-go for me.
Does anyone know what a "CM" in this context is?:

"Unless you’re a billionaire genius, your product will have noticeable ejector pin marks. A good CM knows how to hide these well. Nearly zero CMs hide them as well as Apple does."
First imgur, then reddit. I hope voat is readying their servers for the traffic spike.
I can think of a long line of excellent reasons for that...

This may well have come up because of recent news that Facebook is stepping up it's targeting of people on the open web.

Why can't they push updates independently of the carrier?
There is a bunch of plugins that do essentially the same, but are all subtly different. the one you reference uses python bindings, but only works for Linux.

I will do a brief list of all that I know of:
https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeClang - discontinued

This one is pretty close to what I want: https://github.com/lvzixun/Clang-Complete It uses libclang and should work on all systems. It didn't work properly for me under Linux, but feel free to use it if it does.

There is also a plugin https://github.com/griebd/clangHelper which shares the purpose with what I have written, but was never updated after the initial commit, which is a pity. I probably wouldn't have written mine if it would be alive.

Then there are https://github.com/LuckyGeck/YcmdCompletion, https://github.com/glymehrvrd/CppYCM and https://github.com/ivankoster/SublimeYouCompleteMe that use ycmd server to complete code. Ycmd is well-known to those who are vim users under the name YouCompleteMe. Unfortunately all these plugins are not fully in line with Ycmd server developments, e.g. the HMAC auth often mismatch and sometimes there is even no setting for that. These all are really great! And I do like the server-client architecture of this, but I could not make any of these work reliably for me. Believe me, I have tried. Also, again, it is harder for the user to separately setup a server and then register a client to it with multiple settings. Also there is a need for a .ycm_extra_conf.py file that has non-trivial syntax (as a python file)

And then there is https://github.com/pl-ca/ClangAutoComplete which is a really nice plugin and I started off my forking it. It uses only clang binary and is written in a simple, easy to grasp way, so it was perfect to hack around. However, I wanted to have a more modular structure and to make is unit tested and to use libclang when possible, so we have diverged.

Correct me if I did any wrong statement please and point me to the ones I may have forgotten.

I was super skeptical of it when I started at Google. But it just works, and along with the rigorous code review process and commitment to code health, it makes for clean code with lots of consistency and re-use.
Very good news. I love Jenkins but the interface is not very friendly and even with some themes templates like this one https://github.com/jenkins-contrib-themes/jenkins-material-t... it's still hard to navigate and get right informations. Definitively yes for this integration!

Perforce won't scale to that level either. As Google has shown. Google's "Piper" is based on Perforce but isn't Perforce, because Perforce couldn't hack it.

Not everyone in the covered group wears glasses, so the cost to the insurance company is less than $300 * N. Offering that is a nice benefit to the people who do need glasses.

In the meantime, Zenni is sending me good-looking properly made glasses for as little as $30/pair shipped. (Single vision, polycarb, titanium memory alloy frames. Arrived 4 days after I ordered them last week.) So much of the $300 is really going to line the pockets of Luxottica https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxottica
It's the Windows update system being a horrible mess instead of a proper package manager. Each time you hide it, what you get is apparently a new update with the same name. If you hide it enough times, you eventually hide every available update and it won't reappear (at least, until they issue a new one). Really annoying!
Probably. Most senators do not read the bills. They get a sparknotes like summary by a private company and they read that.
I know it's one of those 'tabs or spaces' questions, but are there any decent alternatives to Reddit?

I've tried Voat, but it's literally just Reddit.

The world needs a p2p, anonymity-first, censorship resistant link-sharing and discussion site/app/thing.

If anyone could point in some such direction, I sure would appreciate it.

That are two keystrokes (G - shift + g) in Vim. Have you ever tried Vim/Emacs? Vim in particular has really upped my productivity by so much.
A p2p discussion site would even be slower than reddit itself, and that's a lot to say.
