#114I'd like to learn Japanese. I'm hoping to travel there in June after I graduate from college, and I figure it would help if I could talk to people (or try, at least). I'd also like to get better at Rust. I've written a few small projects in it at hackathons, but I've yet to get to the point where I'm comfortable writing in it. I'd like to get close to that. I'm taking a class prior to graduation in abstract algebra,…
The Yamasa school there is a great little find. The prices are very reasonable and they do everything they can to make it foreigner friendly, ie providing housing with thick walls, simple leases and things.
Would recommend SILAC program which is mostly talking, even though I did the more formal class route, SILAC is probably more effective I think after learning more about how learning works

As a fairly accomplished guitarist let be give you a piece of advice.
If you want to learn the notes instead of learning them across the 6 strings, concentrate on learning them up and down the same string.

#117Mindfulness. JavaScript. How to have fun. Not necessarily in that order.

There are only two types of programming languages: those people complain about, and those no one uses.

#120I want to learn Hindi; TDD for Ruby, Rails, Elixir and Angular 1.5; how to have a better work life balance; and some more advanced guitar technique.
Why Angular 1.5 may I ask?
