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 of the site.

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 have heard a lot of good things about Go, maybe I&#x

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 amazingly helpful for me. There aren't a ton of locati

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?

>If this story were about something else, it would be about something else. Wow. Can't say that I thought of that.

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 20 minutes to wait for the bill to arrive, wai

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

(S)he's talking about running a custom operating system on their phone. Check out xda-developers if you want a overview on the topic. I haven't actually done it myself, but they're the people to talk to. Side note, I'm c

> "Vets applying for benefits face a laborious process using an outdated interface written in Delphi" Great article, but why the Delphi hate? I use Delphi 7 daily at my current job, and I actually quite like it.

Yup. Just because a substance is legal, doesn't mean using it absolves you of responsibility for your actions while using it. Look at alcohol.

by mpthrapp 12y ago
C'mon, don't know you know that making something illegal automatically makes everyone in the world stop doing it? /s No, but seriously - and I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir - we desperately need reforms in both

by mpthrapp 12y ago
Yeah, why would we ever legalize physically addictive drugs like cigarettes or alcohol? Oh wait. I'm not saying anything about the legalization of Heroin, just that the potential for physical addiction maybe isn't the best marker

I can only get the text to display if I scroll down and then back up, and I'm not getting any audio. I disabled uBlock and Disconnect.me and I'm not running any noscript-esque extension. Chrome 36 on Windows Vista.

I wonder how many blades per realm they use now with the new continents and whatnot.
