I certainly would at least like to be able to live exactly as long as I want. You can always choose to end your life, i'd just prefer not to have the choice made for me by nature.
Curiously, just today I was researching the public health efforts in the Finnish town of North Karelia which is known in public health as a place that started reducing heart attacks beginning in the early 1970's and saw an article referencing Blue Zones.

The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World's Healthiest People
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1426211929/

https://communities.bluezonesproject.com

From the first Amazon review of the book, written by a woman:

"I first ran into my own "Blue Zone" when I hiked up a mountain near Zermatt, Switzerland to a village that was only accessible by hiking or cable car. A 102-year old woman dashed past me, UPHILL ON ICE, in felt boots, while I was (in my 40's) trying to struggle up the incline with the assistance of two ski poles. Later, I found her, running the local inn and making strudel, which was the most delicious I've ever had. She was making the strudel that day, because her OLDER sister was taking a nap."
You're awesome and your psychiatrist is awesome!
No. they are not two different points. You are artificially restricting the argument, and saying that some parts are a different question by introducing this new idea of "inherent nature" of a closure in rust : Some humans have legs, some do not. Does it mean that having legs is not an "inherent" part of the human experience?

So to go back to the argument, we are trying to compare using a coroutine base approach vs using a future/state machine + closure approach. My point was that because a coroutine allows one to enter and leave a stack frame without destroying it, it can lead to less allocation and therefore be more efficient in those cases (and let's not even talk about the cost of the activation/deactivation of the stack frame)
ZFS is a life saver whenever we need to take incremental backups, be it database or application code.

However, we use ZFS in its native environment, the Illumos. Best to work with, faster and safer then dockers, and much advanced.
I think it's more a reflection that the phrase "Netflix and chill" has become such a cultural touchstone―and a parody of itself―that even Netflix itself is in on the joke.

Hell - in a world where living forever is the default, you can always kill yourself if and when you get bored.
No, that's how they deployed coax (and later fiber) in Israel when the cable company was formed in the late 80's at a fraction of the cost.

The cables are laid in a trench about 30 CM deep just off the curb the trench itself is maybe only 10 CM wide you have a single machine that digs the trench lays the coax and then covers it with gravel (which is made from the asphalt, dirt and gravel it digs up) after that they just put the asphalt over it and it's done they you can do 100-200M an hour or even more like this pretty easily.

If you need to redo the road you don't have to scrape off the trench part anyhow no car can drive so close to the curb, and even if you do scrape that part off it's just like scraping the road you usually only go maybe 1cm/half and inch deep you don't remove the entire surface and even if you need to redo the road completely you can leave the 10cm wide trench alone.

Also fiber and coax cables can last for decades there is no need to redo them, the same cables can be used again and again with each upgrade to the standard since to get more speed you only need to change the optical or RF equipment there is no need to change the cable.

The same cables that used to deliver 100mbit can be used for 10gbit and even higher speeds, multiplexing is also possible over older cables.

One thing i wondered it why simply they just don't make curb stones (e.g. http://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00AeqanjdwtkoK/Blue-Stone...) with a few ducts in them already couple inches in diamiter so you could just pull fibers through at any time without having to even dig up the road...
Yes you have to replace them, but how often do you that? every 10 years? 20 years? and if you design it well you can either pull the cable out or heck even replace the cable with the curb stone, people can live without internet for 6 hours during the night.

Nope, it's UB[0]. While not everything that doesn't work on every platform is UB, plenty of things are. Consider signed integer overflow, which is a common source of UB.

To be clear, UB means the compiler is allowed to e.g. totally remove the call (or really anything else it wants to do at all) if it can be positive that this is what's happening -- not that it will behave as could be expected on the platform, the term for that would be implementation defined behavior.

Forget achieving immortality - if we manage to extend average lifespan to even 120 years of age then almost all of our socioeconomic systems break down and we have to more or less rebuild society from the ground up.

This needs the additional information that photosynthesis is incredibly inefficient. It's <5% IIRC, so we already have solar panels almost a magnitude better than what nature did.

(RuBisCO as the protein at the center of the process is also quite strange: it's huge and slow. As in 'this ain't funny any more, start working' slow with about a reaction per second.)
I wonder where that comes from, too. You're definitely not the only one - I've seen plenty of people expressing similar opinions here on HN.

That said, for me the idea of eternal life seems very appealing. There are so many things I'd like to do, so many areas of knowledge I'd like to explore, etc. that it would take me 10 lifetimes and it still would not be enough. I'm nearing 30, which means that I'm almost halfway through life. Life feels too short.

Any chance you could answer some questions? I'll get to them after a couple of (relevant) anecdotes.

I was diagnosed with depression by a psychologist. I got a referral to a psychiatrist, and I was told that the psychiatrist would probably want to do his own assessment of where I was at & what kind of therapy would best benefit me.

Nope. It was, "You've got such & such diagnosis; let's try such & such drug. Bye!" Some years later, I was treated by another psychiatrist. Same deal.

Second, I've read a fair amount about various psychoactive drugs. One thing I've noted in the literature is that often drugs are only found to be effective when used in combination with other kinds of therapy: counseling, etc. So if I am taking a psychoactive drug regularly to treat some condition, then I always get regular counseling for that condition as well.

I have mentioned this practice of mine to both psychiatrists, and both indicated their approval. But in both cases, counseling was never mentioned until I brought it up. I'm thinking that, if I were a psychiatrist, then I might insist that my patients get regular counseling in addition to my treatment. To avoid even recommending it strikes me (in my highly inexpert opinion) as an awful practice, possibly rendering psychiatric treatment ineffective. One might even call it a violation of professional ethics.

So, my questions.

1. Would you say my experiences related above are typical?

2. Would you say that these experiences point out problems (with the two psychiatrists at least, and with the profession as a whole, if the answer to #1 is "yes")?

3. If these are problems, then what do we do about them?
Based on quick glance (which is what most sites get from me) one key difference is that indiehackers shows the actual amounts right there on front page. This is quite small thing, but for me it tells this site might actually contain something I'm interested in.
did you continue working with that doctor afterwards? did you continue your prescription?
Nah. The Midwest/Deep South is basically the 4th world right?

Despite this work being neat, that's still the best way to do it that I'm aware of. First reason is that English is imprecise enough that CompSci invented formal specifications to solve the problems that created. This is an immediate step back from precise requirements. Second, there's a ton tooling to automatically generate parsers from precise grammars. The languages, even BNF, are pretty easy to teach people. There's also text languages & spec methods that can make comprehensible stuff that regex's or BNF might muddy up. All of these take almost no CPU effort to deterministically produce a result from.

So, the old ways are still better for this domain if it's a production system whose cost or results matter. These methods might be useful for search/query by casual users, though. Or people that come from a foreign language likely to express queries in a weird way.

Probably, but in my view Godel's theorem basically states that there are limits to axiom systems. (In much the same way that you can not write a web server without touching sockets.) My point is, if it would be necessary to switch to a stronger axiom system than ZFC in physics, then one would do that, without claiming that that stronger system is real.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Just today, I was in a conversation when trying explain broadly what Number Theory is and a little bit why I find it fascinating and pursuing Masters then Docterate. What annoyed me the most was being told that Mathematicians cannot simply understand not comprehend infinity. Shortly after explaining the number systems and infinity. I was asked about my favourite number. What was truly cringe worthy was the topic of Proofs, apparently i was told that they don't really exist! xD What a waste of 5 year ax in maths.
Before being diagnosed with a chronic disease, I was very interested in life extension. Now, I really couldn't care less about living a long time and try to enjoy the life I have-- inconvenient and frustrating though it may be.

In a way it's funny. Now I think about how I plan to shorten my life when/if the need arises rather than extending it at all costs.
I think the mass email would be amusing if they only sent it to people who watch certain types of content at certain times of day.
The Man Who Invented the Web (2001)
Part of the reason I have the occasional suicidal thought is because I'm physically dying right now because nature is killing me. If you took that away I'd actually be quite a bit happier.
I don't think that "I" from 10 years into the future is the same as the "I" from 10 years ago. The accumulation of small changes is like a "small death" that comes every day. We forget most of everything, we are thrust in different situations, and those situations make ourselves effectively different because they trigger our abilities in a different way.

Fighting death is more about the immortality of the body. The mind is recycled much sooner. The "I" is created by the mind anew every moment. Even sleep is like a mini-death, because we "don't exist" for a short time, then we continue existing again.

But, of course, if we actually get to cheat death and live forever, a new kind of life opens up. If we can back up our minds and then upload them into a young body or in a virtual reality, then we can also be more like a character in a game. We could have many "lives", we could have "save checkpoints", we could restore from previous points, or fork and create more of us. In fact life would not be the same as it was during "linear life". Would a meta-life such as this be the same as immortality? I don't think it would. It would be a completely different thing altogether.
I don't understand the hostility here.

There are plenty of people who are doing very well on psych meds.

The field is probably a bit too 'medication' heavy, I'll grant you that, but perfect is, as they said, is the enemy of the good.
Hi. My startup was listed in IndieHackers, and here is my experience, which I think might explain why this thread did as well as it did. A few weeks ago, Courtland, the dev who built IndieHackers contacted my via email with a polite request for me to list my startup on his upcoming site.

He had obviously done a lot of work scouring HN and Reddit threads to pick out people who fit his criteria of starting independent apps and emailed them one by one.

I was interested, so signed up on his site and started filling in my profile. And here is the clincher - I've filled out my startup profile on LOTS of sites, but IH was the only one where the creator emailed me back and asked for more information and clarification about my story. It felt more like an interview than a straight up submission, and it also lead me to believe that someone actually cares.

Then, yesterday, I received an email from Courtland mentioning that he would be posting about his site to HN as a "Show HN" post and asked me to support it by upvoting.

By this stage, I had totally 'bought in' to the whole deal, and when I woke up this morning, eagerly sought out the thread to participate and upvote. I was actually alarmed when I couldn't find the thread. A quick email and response from Courtland indicated that the thread name had been changed from a 'Show HN' thread.

I am thinking that it was the personalised contact with the participants, then the email follow and actual request to support the thread which lead to it getting the response that it has to date.
if a publicly traded, large market cap, privately owned pharmaceutical company owned a patent for marijuana it would be legal and pushed heavily by psychiatrists.

however, it is a plant, and cannot be patented, so instead we made it illegal.
In the UK, your chance of death within the year crawls from approx 0 to 5% between 0 and 80 but then climbs rapidly to 30% by 100 and >50% by 110.

The recent 100 years of medical advances have lead to massive life expectancy gains (1/4-1/3 year per year in the developed world) but has had no noticeable impact on the age of the oldest living humans or mortality rates of centurions.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_verified_oldest_...

Based on this, I think there's a good case for pessimism when speculating whether any living human will live to 150+.
There is no evidence to suggest that would be successful.

A "stronger border" and "higher walls" are nothing but campaign slogans.
No one wants to be forced to live forever but having the option would be nice. Also, it's likely that medicine will advance a lot in the next thousand years and most diseases will eventually be cured (including psychiatric ones).
Oh, great point, I hadn't even considered that. I'm sure creating all those steel/concrete containers isn't the most CO2 friendly activity. AFAIK most plants store onsite so there's no transportation cost at least.
Hey on the bright side it's not like any of our existing socioeconomic systems are great. Last I checked we did not live in a utopia.
I would argue that immortality should address problems like yours. It's not really immortality if normal, random lifetime ups and downs (the inverse of the regression to the mean [1]) make half your population commit suicide every hundred years. That's a pathetic excuse for immortality, and you can't claim to have defeated death until people don't want to die just as much as they can accomplish that goal. Same way that it's not really immortality if you can still starve to death, or die because you got hit by a train and your seat of consciousness got obliterated, or die because your anti-aging medicines don't do anything about your risk of cancer. Defeating old age is the biggest obstacle right now, but defeating traumatic risk and psychiatric risk are just as important.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_toward_the_mean, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-value is also relevant - consider "person has no unsolvable long-term problems and if maintained at their average level would live forever" to be the null hypothesis and "has a bad century and commits suicide" to be the observation.

Ask HN: How to learn electrical engineering?
There are obviously many, many resources for learning to code, and the discussions here on HN focus largely on software. What about on the hardware side of the house? How does one learn the fundamentals of designing hardware? (Blinking an LED with an Arduino doesn't count). Where do hardware hackers (I assume there are at least some represented here) tend to congregate on the web?
I understand that, but I am talking about now. There's no point (other than marketing and free labor purposes, which is what I'm criticizing) in open sourcing their client app when the server is not open source. What purpose does it serve? I mean, how do you expect to use this code other than hooking up to Simplenote?

I remember this company called Layer, they "open sourced" their "messaging UI framework", and I first thought it was something like JSQMessageViewController where you can just take the library and really build your own chat app, but turns out it's just a shell to connect to their layer.com server. Again, what's the point? I can't help but wonder what's going on in these people's minds when I think of all the time they would have taken to clean up code and prepare to announce their open source.
Well, actually in their profile, the startup not only shows the revenues (money) but also many other things like: if they work remotely, how is their culture, their open source projects, their growth journey, if they have open salaries, etc... I believe is quite complete, not just money.

There's a reason those laws exist. Mental health is still a taboo topic and as soon as anyone knows there's an issue the reflex is for everything to go into lockdown.

I meant exactly that. We are technologically advanced enough to blast off to Mars and build a permanent settlement there. We just don't have the will (as measured in money - the unit of caring). Would the colony suck? Initially, probably yes. But hey, if we were to suddenly hit immortality tomorrow, we have enough space in deserts and oceans to inhabit before going to Mars that we'll be experts in self-contained settlements by the time colony ship reaches red planet's surface.
