How hard is it to prove that problems are hard to solve? Meta-complexity theorists have been asking questions like this for decades. A string of recent results has started to deliver answers. It blew out the back of my head, so I may as well share
tl;dr version: Complexity theory is complex

During a field interview at the Major League Cricket (MLC) championship match, Satya Nadella, the Co-owner of the Seattle Orcas and CEO of Microsoft, revealed his aspirations of establishing a Cricket stadium in Washington state. One thing most Americans have been waiting for - a chance to watch cricket
"It is not true that the English invented cricket as a way of making all other human endeavours look interesting and lively; that was merely an unintended side effect."

Why is it called cricket?
Because that's all you can hear in the spectator section.

Yup, same here in Canada. And I think the US is even worse, as their pension plan seems to be barely holding on, even before they all finish retiring. (I read somewhere that the average US boomer retirement savings is about $400k). Interesting times ahead...

A very useful and previously unknown Windows tip was revealed this week, where you can halt process jumping in Task Manager by holding down the Ctrl key on your keyboard, allowing easier access to a listed process. Because I didn't know either
|

Wish I'd known that before. But now that it is public knowledge the geniuses that remodeled the task bar will probably think it needs some more keys to be sequentially pressed or something.
