    If you're interested in a student's perspective on a Sudbury school, I went to/help to found one from 7 to 16. My email is my username at gmail if you have any questions.

    I met my current girlfriend on Tinder. We've been together a year as of the end of this month. I had tried OkCupid as well and had no luck, though I'm not sure that was the fault o…

    Alright, thanks. I'll give Clojure a shot at some point. I've played around with lisp a tiny bit in the context of reading SCIP, but that's about it.

    I'm not quite sure what I want to do, other than I don't want to do front-end development. The other language I have any experience in is Delphi, which is a compiled language. I ha…

    As someone who is currently "In Love With Python", I'm curious what other languages you recommend? I'm always looking to learn new stuff.

    This is my first contribution to OSS. Figured I'd share it here and see if it was helpful for anyone. Also, I welcome any and all pieces of constructive criticism.

    I've always liked "Wrapped up like a douche" (Revved up like a deuce) in Blinded by the Light.

    Do you mind if I ask where you're from? That sounds like the one I went to. Also, my email is on my profile if you have any questions.

    As someone who went to a Sudbury school as a child, I highly recommend at least giving it a look.

    I went to one (not the one in MA, but one of the bigger ones) as a child and I highly recommend the model.

    If I can evangelize for a sec, I went to a Sudbury[1] school and I would highly recommend it. It's a very free environment and, as someone who is fairly self-motivated, it was amaz…

    Only once a week? Can I have your job, please? I get to use that and 5 on a daily basis.

    I still use ADO and ODBC (oh, and the BDE, remember that one?) on a regular basis. I wish I didn't, but I do.

    Anyone know if there's a way to find out if my phone (HTC One M8) will be able to upgrade to 5?

    I assume OP is referring to the fact that the name Asimov isn't well known for being part of Halo. At least, I hope the writer would be considered more popular.

    Yeah, that's the biggest advantage for me. Once I'm done eating I generally want to at least go outside to smoke/vape, if not leave right away, but far too often it takes a solid 2…

    I've used one of these systems before, and I gotta say, I really like it.
