Hi, as I mentioned, I tried building under Ubuntu, which didn't improve build time that much considering the hardware specs, IMHO. So it does point out to optimizing the build itself, as esperent also suggested.
This is how I learned english. I fell in love with computers at an early age and everything from programs to documentation and the few communities were all in english. So I had to learn. I winged it at the time, just used a dictionary, some books, and whatever other resource that I found or fell on my lap.
I used to tell everyone who cared to listen that learning english would open up your world like you can't imagine (as it did for me). How many people even tried? 0. The common denominator is having to learn, and the only two ways that I've seen really work, is moving to another country OR having a strong interest about something and using a language to learn more about it (and you'll learn two things at once!).
This. I'd love to be able to actually have dozens of "virtual" accounts that use a single account so I could keep track of what everything is for, but just having a separate account that I can't easily take money from works wonders.
RubyMine. Went through TextMate, Sublime, vim, you name it. For Ruby development this IDE is superb and a joy to use everyday. Only downside is getting used to it when sometimes it isn't available (vim comes to the rescue usually).
Absolutely. I used LastPass for a long time when it first came out. Then I tried Dashlane to see if it sucked less (it does in some ways, but still sucks). 1Password is a joy to use compared to those two.
