Next you're probably going to tell me about French fries, right?

But it doesn't reflect the factual subtitle. The title here says 1918, but the true trend is 1915-1918, which had a bit of a war as well.

> There is no requirement to post the article headline as-is on HN.

There is. From the guidelines:

> Otherwise [i.e. not excessive clickbait] please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

HN title is not good. Original title is "U.S. Life Expectancy Drops for Third Year in a Row, Reflecting Rising Drug Overdoses, Suicides."

The comparison is between the last three years and 1915-1918, but the Spanish flu was just getting going in 1918.

EDIT: folks just arriving, the HN title has changed since I commented. It previously said "worst trend since Spanish flu," or something.

> I wrapped my objects in atomic reference counters, and wrapped my pixel buffer in a mutex

Rust people, is there a way to tell the compiler that each thread gets its own elements? Do you really have to either (unnecessarily) add a lock or reach for unsafe?

AMD switched to TAGE for Zen 2, so I don't know if neural networks are "the future of branch prediction" or just a neat diversion.

EDIT: I'm too old for this. Think what you want about mmap and ioctl.

The copy on https://comma.ai/ has certainly changed tone from what it once was.

Now it is clearing pushing a driver-assist angle ("improves your stock ACC and LKAS," "copilot," "augment"). No mention of "self-driving," "autonomous," or the like.

Previously, it was clearly marketing a full-self-driving, no human involved system: "ghostriding for the masses," "software to make your car self driving."

It produces the full domain name (up to .com) in ~ 1 minute. If there is more to the url (a path, ?= parameters, etc) after the domain name, then no.

Yeah, I put labels corresponding to the original IP throughout and used a jump table.

> My other option was to translate it into real assembly

I wrote a compiler from emoji-code to amd64 (mostly because I'm more interested in compilers than reversing). It runs quite fast - prints the whole domain in ~1 min. I'd highly recommend it to people who are into assembly, it was a fun exercise.
