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'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'll give that a shot.
I'd love to learn a functional language. I've looked at Haskell, and ouch. As someone with no formalized CS training, a lot of the type theory stuff goes right over my head. Is there a less crazy functional language you would recommend?
Yeah, I've looked a little at Rust, and it looks like it'll be interesting in a couple years.
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 locations, but if there's one near you, I'd recommend at least checking it out.
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, wait for the waiter to return the bill, and then wait for them to return with my card. When I've used one of these systems, we finished eating, I swiped my card, and then we left.
Plus, the one I used had the ability to arbitrarily split the check without having to have the waiter remember the random dollar amounts to put on 4 different cards.
(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 confused, you bought an Android phone because you wanted a non-Android smart phone? HTC Sense is still Android, just with a custom skin.
