   I've been an engineering manager for a couple of years. I'm still expected to do 50% engineering and 50% people management. As the article describes, it is a struggle to do both well. I don't see this responsibility split cha

   Thanks for the response. Ruby is the only tool I currently use in development on Windows which I have flagged as a potential problem to maintain in the future. Thankfully, Ruby is a rather small part of my workflow, so waiting on RubyInstal

   I have used Ubuntu and Mac OS in the past, but I am currently favouring doing all of my work on Windows. All of the tools I need run perfectly fine on Windows (and many of them, not on Linux at all), and it would be a hindrance to switch to

   I have never used Cygwin before. Thanks for referring me to it. I am currently trying to find the simplest solution for keeping Ruby up to date with the current releases, but having a hard time doing so on Windows. I will experiment with Cy

   Without being told to use a VM, installing Linux, buying a Mac, and without settling for the 2.0.0-p481 release of RubyInstaller; is there any way for a user to install this version of Ruby on Windows?

   I imagine this resulting in a mass amount of spyware/viruses/exploits appearing on Linux systems.

    As someone who is moving from the UK to HK in 3 months, with no job or visa secured, and attempting to bootstrap my (first) startup; this scares the crap out of me!

    The US military had a big involvement in the Korean War (88% of the South Korean force [1]), and to this day are posted at the demilitarised zone in the Korean Peninsula. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War [1] Here is an interesting

    > The keyboard has dedicated volume and brightness keys but lacks media player buttons. A very minor point to take away from the article; but do people actually use the media player buttons on their keyboard? I use brightness and volum

    Will there ever be time tracking? That's one feature I really wish Trello had by default.
