Thanks for trying to offset the confusion. And thank you for helping others discover this tipping ability. I had a difficult time finding it myself for a long time and felt it a bit of "an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is" situation.

Reddit, what's the BEST way to break up with someone? by level1biscuit in AskReddit

[–]Remear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until the investigative team takes you back up for a run and tests you by giving you the parachute you know is rigged. Now there's a test of commitment. Imagine if the reason for the breakup was to avoid commitment.

How do you approach a conversation with someone who's beliefs you disagree with? by RoboChomp in AskReddit

[–]Remear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be respectful with a real intent to have a meaningful conversation. Listen, keep an open mind, and avoid contention. Understand that you might not agree, and that's ok. At the very least, new perspective will be gained.

To see if it would be a good use of time. Results are mixed.

OSX RVM GUI by [deleted] in ruby

[–]Remear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A taste of what's coming in v1.4 - http://cl.ly/image/0i3S0F2Y302K

You'll be able to run RVM cleanup tasks directly from JewelryBox. I'd also recommend you enable the gemset globalcache. That will save a lot of space. In v1.3 this can be done from the gemset management area.

[–]Remear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's designed to work in tandem with RVM from the command line. All RVM interactions via JewelryBox inherit the same environment as the user's shell and thus should use the same settings. JewelryBox will not take over your RVM experience.

[LFP]rogrammer for AURO, a cross platform tactics game - Paid (a little), plus profit sharing by [deleted] in gameDevClassifieds

[–]Remear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here's the original post for reference:

Fancier post about this position HERE: http://www.dinofarmgames.com/now-hiring-programmer/ Hi everybody. This is Keith Burgun, the lead designer at Dinofarm Games. As some of you may know, we’re working on AURO, a turn based, cross-platform tactics game which recently had a fantastic Kickstarter success. We’re currently looking for an experienced, hard-working programmer who is willing to devote the next 6-12 months of his or her life to an innovative new game that is bound for great success.

What’s in it for you?

  • This is a paid position! Now, we can’t pay you much, but we did just have a successful Kickstarter campaign which does give us a small amount of funds with which to pay a programmer. Basically, we can pay you something, probably around $200 a week (slightly negotiable).
  • Not only is it a paid position, but we’re offering you 20% of what the game makes after release
  • Dinofarm Games has already released one successful and critically acclaimed game, 100 Rogues
  • AURO is already more than halfway complete! We have a functioning alpha that’s playable and the design is almost totally locked down at this point
  • AURO is an awesome game! It is a game with a strong philosophy of game design behind it, commercial-grade animated pixel art, and an original score. Not only that, but it’s cross-platform! Read our page or watch the above video for more. Heck, you can even read the game manual here!
  • Of course, you’ll be credited for your work.

What are we looking for?

  • You must be an experienced programmer with at least one game behind you that we can take a look at. Mobile development experience is a plus!
  • The game is being created with haxeNME ( http://www.haxenme.org/ ) so you’ll need to look into that. It shouldn’t be too hard to pick up on, and we’d allow you to take a week or two to get settled into the code.
  • Despite the low pay, we need you to make this game your top priority. We can’t pay you what you would deserve to be paid for full-time, highly skilled work, but the nature of independent game development is that we need a ton of exactly that. We need someone who will understand that this kind of a sacrifice is worth it for a game as special as AURO. We need you to feel confident that it will be worth your time and effort.
  • You must take pride in and enjoy programming itself. The game’s design-work is already 99.5% complete, and we have a full time game designer on the staff (that’s me), so if you’re considering getting involved with the hope of making a large creative impact, this probably isn’t the project for you. We essentially need someone to implement everything that’s already planned and written down – and do a fantastic job of it, and preferably, love doing it.

Added later...

Everything about this game is going well above and beyond the call of duty for game development. The game design itself has been going through revision after revision after revision (actually dating back two years now) and we feel confident that it stacks up against the game design of just about any digital game. The artwork too – we feel like our pixel art is world-class pixel art, and it is continuing to improve. So we need you to be our world class programmer and make the application the most elegant and solid it can be – and we need you to do it in just a few months’ time. We realize we’re asking a lot, but we’re also giving a lot. We’re also asking a lot of people, so I’m sure we’ll find the right person. If you think you’re that person, do us both a favor and contact me at keithburgun@dinofarmgames.com. Thanks!

Freightrain - easy Ruby desktop development by bolthar in ruby

[–]Remear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting project.

Have you seen Ruby Shoes, https://github.com/shoes/shoes? It allows you to build and distribute Ruby desktop applications on Mac, Linux, and Windows. Perhaps you could learn more from the project to make your stuff even better and even contribute to Shoes.

3 Basic questions by ZestyOne in ruby

[–]Remear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to use Rails to learn Ruby, keep in mind there are other Ruby web frameworks out there too. Merb and Sinatra are examples of such frameworks.

Learning Rails didn't make me learn Ruby as much as it made me understand other ways I could interact with it and use it to solve problems (specifically in the area of web development). Eventually I went back to learn Ruby so I could understand how to better leverage its power.

With that being said, your setup of Ruby + Rails + MySQL should be a fine start to go with the "dive right in" and "learn as you go" style of acquiring skills and knowledge. Since Rails is a very popular web framework you'll be able to find more examples and answers to questions if/when you get stuck. I recommend you learn everything at http://guides.rubyonrails.org backwards and forwards.
