In my experience as a Dev Manager the easiest way to solve this is to put the expectation for coming up with a solution on the interjector or negative person. This is super effective in filtering the passionate contrarians from the the generally negative because it requires the person to do work, and the default to "no" people rarely will take on the responsibility.
You can output this as an SVG - just click 'Customise' and find the relevant option to do so.

Alternative rationale: institutional inertia prevents change.

Remote work is a big change.

Ergo, absent an exteral driver of change, companies will continue doing what they've always done.
It's just another (hopefully somewhat systematic) perspective on a known phenomenon, though. (OP here.)

P.S.: What might be of minor interest is that this may help decide, whether it's "ROL A" (as in older assemblers) or just "ROL", etc. (as in some of the more modern ones). We may see that there is a slot for "ROL A" and another one for "ROL implied", which is a NOP. As is the case with all the other accumulator instructions. – However, brevity is still a thing. :-)

I started with the C64, and moved to an Amiga, and it felt effortless to move from the 6502 to a 68k. When I years later for the first time sat down with x86 asm it immediately motivated me to stop programming assembler.

Despite being incredibly dissimilar, the relative regularity of the 6502 and 68k felt familiar - a small set of rules and patterns flowed naturally into implementing quite complex code in a way it didn't on the x86. It's remarkable how much those things matters.
Technically it collapsed the moment land was forcibly repossessed because from that day on Zimbabwe could no longer feed itself. The government merely managed to survive longer than it should.

Had this happen to me, I was complementing a particular debugger I liked on an IRC channel and some random id said "Thanks, it's a lot of work".

I didn't realise the author of that tool was in the channel - kinda neat that we have such a flat open structure at times.
I think the author just has a complaint about the scientific process (and believe me, all scientists do…) and is trying to fit this topic to that complaint. I doubt that it’s helpful. If we think there aren’t enough safeguards about this kind of research, I think the solution is to restrict funding, not to assume that changing the research incentive structure would stop it.
You are perhaps unfamiliar with the quote translated, "Kill them all. God will know his own."

If this is true then that’s diabolical!
I don't agree with this at all. There are many projects such as Node.js which have excellent, up-to-date documentation on their websites (for all past versions too). This is good for the Node.js project because it forces developers visit the website which gives the open source project an opportunity to connect with their developers, to potentially monetize and stay independent.

On the other hand, in-code documentation is hard to follow because it's scattered all over the source code, relies on special IDEs (more corporate lock-in) and developers often forget to update the documentation anyway (even more easily than they would forget to update the website). Not to mention that it takes up a LOT of space and requires more scrolling; IMO this has a negative impact on the readability of the code. Well written code is simple enough that it doesn't need much in-line documentation.

I don't know why, but these days, when it comes to software development, I find that I disagree with 90% of all the top links that make it to the top of the HN front page. A lot of the practices which are being advocated are inefficient, bureaucratic and they seem to align with corporate interests as opposed to developer interests.

The agenda seems to be about making developers more reliant on proprietary tools, IDEs, subscription SaaS services - All at the expense of free software principles.

There is also an agenda around making developers more reliant on teams and less independent in the software development process. I remember coming across some outrageous claims such as "Good full stack developers don't exist". Also there is a push towards monorepos and other corporate structures which limit the degree of possible decentralization and autonomy of different projects and their dependencies. The shift towards static typing is also part of the trend towards centralization, de-modularization and high inter-dependency with proprietary tools and services.

It's kind of ironic that tight coupling used to be considered one of the main signs of low-quality code but this concept is barely mentioned these days and the agenda is to promote it without saying outright what is going on.
Ever wondered why the most popular package managers which have the most modules are all for dynamically typed languages? e.g. npm, Ruby Gems, pip... It's because dynamically typed languages are more modular since they have less rigid interfaces. With statically typed languages, there is a possibility that the type system of library Y might not correspond very elegantly with the type system of your own project X. Static typing require stronger coupling between the project and its libraries; it's typical that projects written by different teams will follow completely different typing conventions and names (for many different reasons); this adds friction.

A very common one is when a library was written before some new Type/Interface was introduced as part of the core language and the library had invented its own abstraction which does the same thing... So the interface exposed by the library became redundant. Statically typed libraries require a lot more maintenance and this may also explain why companies are increasingly pushing for a monorepo structure which facilitate this constant maintenance which would have been unnecessary with a dynamically typed language.
Years ago, a friend had to visit an old lady who had just got her first computer as she said it wasn't working properly. They discovered that she was using the mouse as a pedal (like you get with sowing machines).

Single run VS state+loop is not the best description of the distinction between MVC and ECS. I look at it like this:

In MVC a typical interaction goes like this:

-> INPUT: user interacts with view
-> view triggers controller action
-> controller updates the model
-> controller passes model to view
-> OUTPUT: view changes
-> (rinse and repeat)

The important part here is that there is a single input that flows through the steps and generates output. This maps well to web frameworks where the input is an HTTP Request and the output is the Response. It also maps well to GUI frameworks where the input is a user interaction event and the output is changes to UI on screen. The perpetual "state and loop" for triggering the next input from the previous output is implementation detail and doesn't really matter for the pattern.

ECS is different because it doesn't have discrete interactions converting input->output. Instead they are built up out of a number of systems all interacting with eachother. User inputs enter a system and that triggers a complex flow of other system interactions, eventually generating 0..N outputs.

Disclaimer: I have lots of experience using MVC in various domains, not that much with ECS.
The attention paid to facility specification details in Public Switched Telecom Networks makes you aware of just how much copper wire was involved in a Central Office and the special needs of -48V DC power plants, or 21-inch rack transmission and radio tower equipment.

I don't agree with the suggestion of using a Zoom background. "Oh cool, you're sat behind the Golden Gate bridge?", or a fish tank, some clouds...

There are valid uses for backgrounds, I'm sure, but generally speaking it's better to show your real environment. Be it a view of your kitchen, or a wall with ugly wallpaper, I don't care. Superimposing yourself on a faux background enters uncanny valley territory.
The issue with your solution is that it can not decide for a single combination of circle and triangle if it would belong to the left or the right side.
Heck, I'd be thrilled by a "avoid intersections where the bottom 20% of drivers get stuck waiting for several minutes trying to make the turn" option.

99% of the time I wouldn't use it. But the 1% of the time that I'm doing something stupid the last thing I need is a extraneous hard intersections.

It's not like Google doesn't have the location data to figure out the difference between intersections where traffic is slow and steady vs where people routinely get stuck.
I have always assumed many programmers are terrible at sports in general so they turn programming into this weird sport of who can be the Cristiano Ronaldo of programming.
While I don't know of the safety impact of removing left turns, the actual trip time impact in a busy city is severely understated. In my city (700k people), an old European town, city center has seen the removal of a few key left turns in the past few years.
Consequences for traffic outside city center: probably none.
Consequences if you want to drive from within the city center to the outside (e.g. go back from a shopping mall / restaurant / business meeting): walk further (many places to park are inaccessible) back to the car, drive a block or two more than you normally would. Extra time: +5 minutes to walk, +10 minutes for those 1-2 blocks (traffic is heavy).

Now the "best" part: Consequences if you want to drive into the city center: you need to make a sequence of correct turns 1-2 kilometers before your target, and if you don't, you are punished with extra 20 minutes in traffic at least (and still won't land where you wanted) - there is simply no route to where you wanted to go unless you pick 1 specific ideal route which many drivers don't know. Results: if you know the city / have good gps (Google Maps sometimes gets it wrong) +10 minutes in traffic, if you don't - + 20-30 minutes in traffic.

[edit] You may ask "why you can't do a triple-right-turn?" that's because the city center is not a grid. Many streets are don't have cross-paths for long stretches around historical part of the city.

Now the really painful part...
Your trip outside the city center is only 5-10 minutes.
Losing an EXTRA 20 minutes is a huge loss, it makes the ttrip almost as bad as walking - but inside a car. Bad for everyone really.

My main beef is with the fact that many places in the city become almost inaccessible due to a huge reduction in possible routes. E.g. 7 years ago I could get to a large mall / parking area next to the town square maybe in 5-6 diffferent ways (allowing me to balance the traffic out).

Now there's 1 way only from my side of the city, and I can't balance anything out by going where others aren't.

Guess the "grid" street network is really a hard prerequisite.

As for safety, safety records in the city haven't moved at all in the past 10 years so I don't know. (But traffic has grown so maybe it's ok?)

From the Church-Turing Thesis, we know there’s nothing special going on! We know humans can’t do anything more than a computer can.

I see people making such claims about human cognition all the time, and I have no idea how it follows. (note the author is paraphrasing "people" here)

The Church-Turing Thesis says nothing about human cognition.

It is perfectly plausible that a human can do things a computer can't. (Scott Aaronson has a paper "Why Philosophers Should Care About Computational Complexity" which sheds some light on why that might be, but it's far from the only possible reason.)

The burden of proof is on people who claim that human cognition can be simulated by computer, not the other way around. To me, it seems far more likely that it can't.

Human cognition can obviously be simulated by "the laws of physics", since brains are material, but it seems very likely that computers are less powerful than that.

That's my refutation of the (silly IMO) "simulation argument". I'd argue it's simply not possible to simulate another universe. You can simulate something like SimCity or whatever, but not a real universe. The people who make that argument always seem to leave out the possibility that it's physically impossible.

In fact I would actually take the simulation argument ("we are almost certainly living in a simulation") as proof by contradiction that simulation is impossible.

If you want to look at the bigger picture, possibly the most fundamental problem we have in England is that there aren't enough doctors. Despite the capacity problems and delays at GP surgeries that most of us have experienced at some point, there has been a downward trend in the full-time-equivalent GPs per capita in England over the past decade or so.

https://fullfact.org/health/gp-numbers-or-down/

It's also likely that the decreasing availability of GP appointments is causing an increase in people turning up at major A&E centres instead, where it may cost far more to treat them for a non-urgent condition that a GP could have dealt with instead if one had been available within a reasonable period.

Just to add to the pressure, we also have a population that is living longer, so GPs may increasingly be helping the elderly to manage multiple conditions as well.

Reducing non-clinical overheads for doctors that take time away from patient care is certainly important, but the bottom line is that our society needs more doctors or the quality of healthcare will continue to decline.
I enjoyed this series but was left unfulfilled by the hand wavy ancient technology. I was hoping for some more hard science fiction to complement the fantasy elements but it never came.
Personal opinion --- Musk is guilty of Bitcoin "pump and dump".

Secondary opinion --- Musk is not the problem; he is just the messenger --- an indicator of the problem.

The real problem is the fact that Bitcoin is not really a currency at all. It is just one facet of an unregulated get rich quick scheme driven by pure speculation and built around the fiction that stablecoins are fully backed by fiat. More than half of all crypto trades involve stable coins.

Everything Musk has done is also being done by the "exchanges" and others on a daily basis --- just in a more subtle manner.

Attacking the messenger won't solve the problem --- at best it will just obscure it's existence for a while longer.

That's not strictly true - if the GC requires all threads to pause ("stop the world") then there is no effective way to write code that isn't impacted without adding the soft real-time requirement and workarounds to every part of the program.

Essentially most GCs require you to pay for it even if you don't use it in critical sections. I'm not sure if Julia has the semantics for explicitly disabling GC during hot loops, but it is extremely difficult to do that without the dedicate hooks.

The issue is not performance - GCs are usually faster than not. It's determinism.
I think you are overthinking the issue.

Facebook's events UI is heavily optimized for introducing you to events your friends will attend--or for letting your friends invite you to their own private events.

Facebook's events UI has some features for discovering new events where you wouldn't know any of the other attendees, but it's not something they have optimized yet.
It's no risk at all - providing one completely ignores the extreme volatility of Bitcoin here.

Facebook isn't sabotaging itself so much as it's simply incompetent. It's the same reason why Facebook messenger is so slow that its employees don't even use it to communicate with each other.
Personally, I read it as "mostly unmodelled, difficult to calculate experiment behaves in a way no scientist ever predicted, but not very far from what simpler ones do".

If I was looking for something to research, I wouldn't pick this one. It's not strange enough to compensate for how hard it is to understand it. (But then, I wonder how I the photoelectric emission fits on that dimension...)
It's two charts stitched together. You can't really read anything into it. Yes, the chart is useless for periods spanning over Feb 2020 to Jun 2020 and it should make you suspicious but not because because of the actual information being presented, rather you should be suspicious because messing with the charts makes it difficult to see what is being hidden.

You also have to know you want to solve a problem.

Once you get to the point where you have any hypothesis whatsoever, no matter how weak, a systematic approach (saving examples as test cases) helps to avoid confirmation bias and makes testing further hypothesis less costly.

Another hard one is when there is a simple, probabilistic rule. You usually end up with an over-complicated rule to cover all your data instead of the true rule. (Of course that gets down to what is at the basis of the probability: are you satisfied with a probability?)

It makes a huge difference because creating money follows regulations, "printing money" means you are ignoring those regulations.
The cumbersome part is that the first step requires you to pick up patterns and differences without knowing which are actually relevant. Which is fine for the first few puzzles, but gets much harder with increasing amounts of details.

It's basically the same kind of problem that one faces in the more frustrating debugging sessions where you're looking at tons of data and try to find a pattern or clue of what causes the bug under what circumstances.
Makes for a good anecdote at least!
