I am so reluctant to accept Microsoft in ECMA, and I have no idea why but I'm even more reluctant to after hearing this. I mean - sure. I love Gates and all. But things like the Win32 API make me so weary to ever trust his opinion as

Solid list for a quick SQL injection and XSS reference with lots of examples. Even unicode/accents/two-byte characters etc are super useful to check handling on all the way from the front-end to the persistent storage solution (DB

Nah - I appreciated the comment and really agree with it. Life isn't just black and white, and simplifying it to that is reductionist to the weird minutia that makes up the brilliance of this whole experience. Things just have been adm

Right now I feel for the folks that physically have to be on the front-line of all of this to the point I'll say we did throw a lot of them overboard. I'm afraid someone will go off on me for saying this, in regards to unemploymen

My parents did plenty to abuse and there's strong history of mental illness, addiction, and genetic disorders on both sides of my family. Is this vandalism? I think not...

Since when is the concern for a child (born or not) with strong aspirations for financial/emotional self-care and responsibility "selfish"? I am not comfortable having a child, therefore I am not having a child. I am not goin

> You can also accept the responsibility of dying childless. It might be lonely and problematic in other ways. Who am I to impose my degrading health/inevitable death onto someone else? I say this having dealt with both of my parent

by folkhack 6y ago
Agree. And in this situation I would define any potential child as part of the "others" as in "it's selfish for me to have a kid if I'm not prepared financially/emotionally."
134.
by folkhack 6y ago
Absolutely - and I'll make the argument that by rushing into something that I'm not ready for financially/emotionally that I would be doing the kid and world a huge disservice.

Anecdotal: Many folks in my social circles are just less willing to accept the real responsibility of raising a child. We're all late-20-somethings/early 30-somethings and I have the conversation all the time with people who wan

Totally agree with your statement and frankly - it's just one of those things that is multi-faceted. I would say that those who are well off and capable of buying luxury/service products should probably dial it back too but that&#

This is exactly it. The notion that they easily shift that ownership of the mortgage onto their renters saying "stuck paying someone else's mortgage" feels like mental gymnastics as it 100% is your name on that debt and not y
