On Fark, it is traditional to post a photograph of Betty White in response to stories like this. It's a wry pun, noting that just from the headline one can guess that the accused is white and the victim is black. And it is correct in this case.
Spoiler alert: It's not the worst song of all time. There is no one single "worst song", just as there's no one single "best song". It may be one of the worst, sure. But when doing something this subjective, there's no way everyone in the world universally agrees on everything...including "worst" and "best".

I don't care how many "experts" they asked or whatever, it's not the worst song. It always bugs the heck out of me when I see clickbait crap like this. If they think "We Built This City" is worst than...say..."My Pal Foot-Foot" by The Shaggs, then it just means this writer is full of shit.

Speaking as a small business owner/entrepreneur myself, there are lots of tax deductions available to people like me that aren’t to some collecting a salary. And that’s without doing any of the borderline or outright illegal stuff that I see many other business owners do, such as taking fancy vacations, leasing luxury cars, or buying real estate for personal use but writing them off as business expenses. The IRS basically now lacks the resources to go after most such cases, and even if they’re caught, the penalty often just amounts to paying back the avoided taxes. There’s really very little incentive to play by the rules. I’ve had CPAs tell me outright that I’m leaving money on the table by not using some of these so-called tax minimization strategies. Anyway, it’s all kind of beside the point because “tax the rich” as policy covers so much ground that it’s impossible to discuss the pros and cons without specifying what specific proposal we’re talking about. My point is simply that business ownership and entrepreneurial activity are already quite well incentivized/rewarded by the current tax code.
I’m very interested in this. Kiwico and Mark Rober’s boxes do something that isn’t very available right now- producing projects that have the right balance of being easy to understand, satisfaction and learning something new.

There is research that has shown that men are, on average, better at single-focus tasks. And, indeed, it was huge news at the time the research was published – at least as huge as being reported in major news publications is.

It wouldn't be huge news now. We quickly grow bored and tired of widely reported things from the past. Humans, of all genders it seems, tend to seek novelty.

I'm very much not a fan of Q-anon and related subcultures, but the sandy-hook award of $1.5 billion is obviously ridiculous, and is clearly just a government/institutional exercise in dictatorial/systemic power.

There is no possible way that someone ranting on the internet can cause 1.5 billion of emotional damage or whatever the claim was.

In particular, the libel (and it should be libel, making claims that are not true, rather than 'defamation' which is merely slurring them), should be from a credible source. Alex Jones is obviously not a credible source in this, or any case, and is unlikely to have caused any material harm (loss of jobs etc) to the 'victims'.

I mean, good riddance to Alex Jones, but the tools and methods used were entirely inappropriate to a liberal democracy, where you prevail with better arguments.

> By default, each SQLite table row has a unique rowId, which works like a primary key if one isn’t explicitly defined.

It actually uses rowid even if you have a primary key.

You should try visualizing the primary key index for a WITHOUT ROWID table. Those indexes are my favourite

> Both Indexes look similar, but the second Index, with fewer Pages, should be faster.

Less nodes doesn’t really mean “faster”. The most important is the height of the tree.

The second most important is what happens when you find your value in the index. Do you need to load the rest from a separate table(rowid)? Or is the data just there for you (without rowid)? Especially range queries (aka where 50<= col <=100)
Correct about keeping oxygen away regardless of material. Aluminum is just much less forgiving than steel in this regard. I use the DC TIG process even for steel because it makes cleaner welds than sticks do. (TIG is also slower than stick, so it's less good for high-volume welding.) I've never tried flux-coated rods with aluminum because they seemed like a gimmick to me, but maybe I'll do an experiment.

But it kept interrupting me and didn't seem to respond intelligently to anything not part of the expected call flow.

That's how I did Java for the first 10 years or so. I'd switch back and forth with emacs, depending on the editing task.

Eclipse finally came out with a decent debugger, and so I switched to an IDE. Java-the-language has since leaned heavily into IDEs; a lot of tedious-but-useful tasks (like strong typing) are significantly easier that way.

I'll still use vi for small edits, and either vi or emacs when I want to do a particular kind of search-and-replace that's better handled by them.

Right now, I just have one business that makes money. It's an ingredient parsing API that I wrote in 2018.[0] It was not a good idea, but it still makes $100-200/mo without me doing anything. Until a few months ago, I also had a website about the keto diet that made about $100/mo, but I sold it because I wasn't doing anything with it.[1]

I'm currently working on a book about writing as a developer, and that's my main focus for the next few months,, but I don't know if I' call it a business because I haven't sold anything yet.[2]

> Generations of young geniuses were given the most lavish education in the history of the world, and then decided to take their talents to finance and consulting.

It has always struck me as an issue that the meritocracy poorly distributes the kind of talent it selects for around society, and instead concentrates it in a relatively small number or elite professions in the cities.

Thinking at a society level, especially in a democracy, society really does needs intellectual talent throughout. Having lots of smart farmers, smart factory workers, etc. is a good thing. Some of that has to with the professions themselves (smart farmers coming up with new farming methods and helping their neighbors farm better), but also democracy (smart farmers and factory workers organizing and effectively representing the interests of their peers).

There's a lot of weird revisionism when it comes to judging 1980s music (eg [1]). It actually feels like a lot of 90s kids just being haters. There's been analysis that you basically like whatever was popular when you were 14 [2].

Additionally, it seems like more modern music just isn't enduring [3] in the same way music from the 1950s to 1980s was. Just the fact that people today know about "We Built this City" nearly 40 years after it was released tells you something. I honestly think that unless you grow up in the 2000s you could go and play the music from 2000 to 2010 (as an example) and it would overall be much less recognizable than music from the 1960s and 1970s is.

Anyway, it seems silly to call this the "worst song of all time". It's recognizable. People know it. It has a vibe. Millenials who grew up on 90s grunge may see it differently but that doesn't really mean anything.
