So it's evolutions fault now that a lot of people are sitting around all day long?

As if increasing something like the pelvis wouldn't have detrimental consequences in other parts of the life.

So where are the statistics that show that this is a problem to begin with? I don't know anybody who got his family jewels ripped off accidentally - technically it could happen of course.

This whole list is ridiculous. The human body is not a buffet where you can take some of this and some of that. It's all interconnected mechanically and physiologically.

There are moments in online communities. Technology changes, policy changes, terminations etc. that represent the marked decline. Eternal September with Usenet, v4 with Digg, the recent departures from 4chan, and now I fear this; they signal the beginning of a decline in visitors and revenue.

Reddit must do what it can to cultivate a vibrant and happy community that doesn't jump down each other's throats. Or else they'll end up running out of mindshare, reach, and money. This should have happened sooner.

I totally agree. It is an imperfect comparison, and by no means did I intend to directly compare the horrors of war with a few years spent in a hacker house. But it is interesting that the reasons quoted above can be used to justify so many levels of exploitation.

I apologize to the HN Gods for suggesting that you go outside.
It takes time to develop a taste for the dystopian short story. I imagine the way I feel about dystopian shorts is akin to how trained palettes appreciate a complex wine.

I read through Animal Farm in seventh grade and it was the first time I experienced the feeling of having read an excellent book that was simultaneously emotionally disturbing. It was confusing, though I knew that my distress was the author's intent. I spent the following summer reading novels like 1984 and Fahrenheit 459. Dystopian sci-fi quickly became my favorite genre.

The short story form also creates unease, as the form is known for it's lack of resolution (or happy endings). They typically cut off right after the climax without any resolving action. I didn't really GET this about short stories until college. Now it's my favorite form of writing.

Combine the dystopian fiction and the short story form (as in Black Mirror), and it's a pretty potent punch in the gut.
> In the rush for funding and "impact" university PR machines (and scientists too) are forced to make flashy statements about the latest new sensational, tenuous at best implications of their findings.

in a lot of cases its worse than just wanting funding. A lot of companies are funding "studies" and getting them published so they can sell their latest revolutionary product.
> This is, in fact, the default. You can use the attributes to inform the optimizer of your wishes, if you want more control.

Isn't the default that the optimiser will do whatever the hell it wants, and the attributes simply skew the optimiser's factors in one direction or another? I think what the author means here is that the caller function should be able to define whether the callee should be inlined or not.

> The bindgen tool can help here.

Would be really useful to have an implicit bindgen thing. Maybe a compiler plugin using e.g. Clang's C parser? That way there's no need to maintain the binding. I'd say I'd like a header generator more than a reader though.

It was, but more importantly, a kid riding their bike for the first time without training wheels can be a terrifying experience, because their brains (as well as ours) aren't very good at risk assessment.

Pushing a kid on a bike without training wheels for the first time could very easily be interpreted as attempted murder by a precocious child. That doesn't mean that their fears are rational. Swimming in a river has a non-zero chance of alligator attack, statistically, alligator attacks are very, very rare, and you're far more likely to die of regular old drowning than by alligator.
"should" is a fine word, but there's also the reality that using exceptions in non-exceptional conditions is what they did.

Coming to terms with death is an essential part of growing up. A prolonged engagement with the thought of impermanence and death adjusts your value system and life objectives, allowing you to identify what is really important in life and to avoid wasting your time on trivialities. Embrace the process, and it will eventually run its course, leaving you a far wiser man.
It's good that the API signature is consistent.

It seems like having lots of trivial error combinators is less like Python's list comprehensions and more like what came before it. I'll point out that Guido has had second thoughts about lambda, reduce(), filter() and map(), though in the end he only dropped reduce. [1].

1) Consider signing up for cryonics, if you live in the United States. The Cryonics Institute[0] and Alcor[1] both provide cryonics. It's a long shot, and dying and getting frozen is the second worst thing that can happen to you, but then, dying and not getting frozen is the worst thing.

2) I went through a similar thing in my early twenties as well. (I'm now in my late twenties.) Right around the time it happened, I had been trying to quit caffeine and was being irregular about it; no coffee some days, two/three cups other days. I'm pretty sure that that was the source of what I now think were a few panic attacks around that time. Those led to difficulty sleeping just as you describe. So if you have changed any such habits recently, maybe consider developing more regular sleep/exercise habits. I am not a doctor, your situation may be different. See a doctor, follow the advice of other people here about seeing a therapist for CBT.

Honestly, I think about this a lot. I have nights where for a few hours I'm completely crippled by fears of dying and not existing. How does the thought of death not constantly nag at everyone around me? Am I too narcissistic and weak? But these thoughts pass when I chat with a close friend of mine who also has problems with aging and dying. Thankfully we've never had these moments at the same time.

These days I don't let myself stay in this mode for too long because it wastes precious time and is not at all productive. My options are a) accept it or b) do something about it. Although historically researching aging/immortality has been mostly voodoo garbage, I think that some day we will reach a point when we will either be able to live forever or know for sure that we can't. So if I ever find that I can no longer accept death, I will find a way to either contribute money or time to this cause. I consider myself fairly smart, and I think putting in my time would accomplish more than whatever money I throw at a research institute. I try to always have the attitude that if I'm not doing something about it, I don't truly care and I'm just torturing myself for no reason.

I don't know if this guy and his research foundation is legit or not but I found reading about him calming. It's nice know there other people out there who are trying to do something about this. I like the term "pro-aging trance."

Here's what I do. Do things to improve your sleep, so you go to sleep faster rather than ruminating. Best case, things like small amount of exercise daily, cutting caffeine in the afternoon, improving diet, setting a regular bed and wake time, or if you have to, tryptophan pills.
I wouldn't call it terrible. It was a language under development, I expected breakage. They're stabilizing now for a final release, so it shouldn't be an issue going forward.
On top of that, it has the wrong number of syllables, so it's not a very good joke, even considering that "clever" renaming is one of the lowest forms of humor.
Death seems to make everything meaningless.

Religions provide relief through the Afterlife. However, even the scientific-minded often follow some kind of dogma: the current models are misrepresented as reality itself. Many mathematicians don't regard math as mere language, but as the Truth. Many computer scientists think we live inside a computation.

Illuminists thought the universe to be a giant clock.

We also follow our own storytelling. Western culture describes life and the universe as a dramatic arch. We don't just learn from stories, we live them.

Forget everything you know. Reality is not meaningful nor meaningless. Dualism is yet one of many fallacies we are intrinsically tied to. Every thought becomes dogma. to have, to be, not is dogma. There's no escape from our perceptual model.

Reality is. or maybe isn't. The more you try to describe it, the more you get trapped into your own box. Enjoy the ride.

Purity isn't as big of a deal in Rust as it is in other languages. We used to have it, but it wasn't very useful.

Right, purity aka referential transparency is basically required when you have lazy evaluation by default (as in Haskell).

Since Rust is a strictly evaluated language, it's easy to reason about the order statements and expressions will be executed in and when side effects will happen, so purity is not generally necessary.
Yeah, it bothers me too and I think about it a lot. I've tried reading eastern philosophy and various opinions on that, but they all seem like rationalozations of people trying to comfort themselves.

One thing I want to tell you - don't think that there's something wrong with you because you are afraid of death. Many people cope by trying to convince themselves that "death is okay, and may, in fact, be a good thing", and it all sounds deep and wise, but it doesn't really make any sense. It's okay to be scared/frustrated/angry when thinking about it.

From everything that I've read and thought about, I've concluded, that if we cut the shit and ignore all the pretentious philosophy and rationalizations, all it comes down to is "try not to think about it and enjoy living your life right now".

When you are a kid you don't think about death, but once you comprehend it it is shocking and depressing, but over time I guess you just get used to the thought, and learn to focus on work/friends/etc and enjoy the life that you have.

I think that humans will cure death eventually, and it makes sense to do everything in our power to fight it. I suggest you check out Eliezer Yudkowsky and the transhumanist community for a lot of interesting ideas on that(like cryonics).

Once you have done everything in your powers to avoid dying(healthy lifestyle, wise choices, etc, etc) - there's no rational reason to keep thinking depressing thoughts, so you just learn to control your thoughts better, so that you wouldn't ruminate on it pointlessly. It's not a solution, but it's the best you can do at this point.

I suggest learning meditation, so that you can learn to stop the scary and pointless thought patterns, and avoid upsetting yourself for no reason.

Find great books, fun hobbies, cool friends to have something fun to do instead of obsessing about depressing stuff.

Watch stand up comedy and great sitcoms, comedy is an amazing solution to this. Check out Louis CK and tv show Community. There's something incredibly beautiful about comedy, if things get bad it really saves my sanity, can't recommend it highly enough. If you are really down - watch a few episodes of Community, laugh your ass off, and it will get better =)

Also, I very much recommend you to read HPMOR. It has a lot of very interesting thoughts on the topic, it is just very bright and beautiful and interesting book. It won't solve the problem but I feel like it really helps.
I may (or may not) have been closer to death than you. I feel 30 feet off a cliff when I was 20. I was soloing, and there was nobody around to help me. I couldn't walk, so I had to crawl out. Backtracking and returning to the right direction was going to be too difficult. I remember thinking "If I don't do the right thing, the odds are fairly good that I will die here tonight." That was... uncomfortable. Not terrifying, but not a very good feeling.

Death is coming. For most of us, most of the time, it's not staring us in the face like that, but it is coming. That's reality. Now what?

My ultimate answer: I believe that Jesus Christ rose physically from the dead, in ordinary space and time, observed and recorded by eyewitnesses, and therefore that death is not the end for me.

I recognize, however, that a bunch of people don't agree with that conclusion, and won't accept it. But for those who don't, I don't have any other answer, because I think that all other answers are ultimately inadequate. If death is the end, then the only answer that's possible is "It's coming. Deal with it." And the best way to deal with it is to try to live so that, when it comes, you don't have a lot of regrets.
Since copy is the rarer of the two (I'd assume most developers are not going to opt-in copy unless they need to, even if it's technically feasible not marking a struct as Copy is more future-proof as removing Copy is more likely to break code than adding it) the operator could be `copy`, with everything (including copy-able objects) moving by default, making the language much more uniform.

Of course, there would be no point to Copy then, the language could just lost it and require explicit cloning.

That would certainly be less convenient for basic numeric types.
Hey, thanks!

As of the reading mode (that was the word I was looking for), Yes, I have heard about it. I use it when I load a webpage in Safari. Still, it is only available when the page finished loading. When I'm riding the train I have edge internet + heigh latency and package loss, loading a JS library (that almost every webpage has), is close to impossible. It takes ages and almost always times out. Since most of the time the <script> tags are in the header, the content won't be visible until the scripts are there.
Maybe there is a library that does the job.
The example

io-basic-error-custom

and the first version of

error-impl

have the same content but different names, while the reference just above the first version of the latter points to the former.

Is this intentional? It confused me for a second.

I know this is nitpicking, just asking.

And, thank you steveklabnik, pcwalton, and other contributors of Rust for working in the open and answering our questions here. Thank you burntsushi for your great post.
This pretty much describes my experiences so far. I've gotten better at not thinking about it, but sometimes when I'm extremely tired I think about those exact things you do, with the addition of wether or not my consciousness exists elsewhere in addition to myself, or anywhere at all. I eventually just decided it wasn't worth thinking about (which was hard!) and try to avoid it as much as possible. What happens, happens.

Also, we are making great advancement in medical areas to keep us functional and able into old age, which I think is encouraging. I don't want to die, but I don't want to live forever either, so I think I'll try to make as much of an impact as I can while I'm still here.

Edit: When I was younger, I wondered if my parents were actually different people every day. That was weird.

Maybe I misunderstood what the parent wants, but you're right that the optimizer can do as it pleases, and you can use annotations to help it make the right decision.

An 'implicit' tool may in fact be cool. It's not perfect, and so needs tweaking in many cases, so the current state is pretty good, but for easier cases and/or when you don't care, I can see such a thing being useful.

As above, but also mining crypto's is against AWS terms of service.
One thing that can help w/dealing with a fear is to envision what happens after the worst happens; don't just stop at death, but what happens then? Try and follow it through In your mind with as much detail as you can. If you don't believe in an afterlife, then death will just be be nothing: no pain, no anxiety.

Modern psychotherapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are very good at deing with fears of specific things, and just talking about these things with someone where you won't feel judged can be very helpful.
No I haven't because it is $3 and I don't want to spend "so much money" for an app, I might not end up using (just like all the other 1000 Hacker News apps that are out there). I might give it a shot, though, if you say it's worth the money.

Geiger - 50 SLOC flux for React with Dependency Injection
This is loosely comparative to mating styles seen in humans, but not with the same implimentation-

Female humans have a dualistic reproductive strategy, an Alpha (orange) male is good for securing the best genes but he typically wont stay around to provide resources for their children (because he is busy mating others). A Beta (blue) provider will typically stay around but may not have the best genes. A rapist (yellow) is completely shunned by society. A female's best approach is to find an Alpha who wants to settle down, or to get pregnant by an Alpha but have a Beta raise the children, failing that have children to a Beta. Rape fantasies are very prevalent among women, perhaps there is a link between this and the opportunistic orange lizard.

Hi OP, I'm the same. I work out and keep myself in good shape, but tend to let my brain wander to thoughts like what if my heart just stops. I can't engineer a solution for myself, but I will be fully conscious of the fact that my body is failing me. It's terrifying, and you're not alone.

I don't have the right answers for you because I'm in a very similar position, but I can try to relieve parts of your existential anxiety. I used to think how crappy it was when you read on the news that some innocent bystander got shot or a freak accident occurred and someone died and how that could've been me. Ultimately, we should only worry about the things we have complete or partial control over. We are all susceptible to heart attacks, but we can also mitigate its probability through healthy diet and exercise. We are all susceptible to getting shot, but we can also mitigate its probability by choosing where we spend our time.

There will always be things we have no control over, but we should only concern ourselves with the things we do.

I would also recommend checking out "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy"[1] by William B. Irvine. It's been suggested on HN occasionally and it offers a philosophy on death as well as what I mentioned above (letting go of things you don't have control over).
