Twitch makes a twitch clone

What happens when they completely break it? Do you have code to detect that or will someone be on hand to reimage the thing? Will that be a special majority vote scenario? BTW this is the best thing since sliced bread. Good work. I can't wait.
It looks like there is a system reset command that can be voted for.
What's the worst that could happen?

They should read the book "Popular Unix text editors and how to exit them"
quit ? exit ? end ? done ? bye ? quit! ? ^X ? ^C ? ^C ? help ? ? ? ^Z $ killall ed $ vi

#75The code currently given in the stream is `while [ "$(date)" != "Sat Oct 31 16:00:00 EDT 2015" ]; do \ sleep 1; done` ... so I hope the process wakes up on the correct millisecond.
Why would it have to be the exact millisecond? "$(date)" will have that value for 1 second, assuming the format is correct. There is some very small timespan in which it could fail, but the chances are very much in favor of successfully exiting the loop.

#76Any idea how to play this on Fedora without flash? I've tried gnome-twitch that crashes a LOT and now trying to use livestreamer-twitch-gui which is not able to find the stream. livestreamer http://www.twitch.tv/twitchinstallsarchlinux says it cannot find any streams on this URL.
The stream is offline (it starts tomorrow) so livestreamer won't find it now. I'm not on Linux ATM but Twitch moved to HTML5 video a while ago [1]. You should be able to watch it in Chrome. Firefox seems to show a black window for all streams because of a JS error apparently. I uninstalled Flash a while ago (and turned it off in Chrome) and have been watching Twitch with no issues. 1. http://blog.twitch.tv/2015/07/vi…
Are you sure Twitch is on HTML5? IIRC, the blog post you linked to only mentions the controls being in HTML5, not the player itself. The other component that switched from Flash to HTML5 was the chat player I believe.
Attempting to watch Twitch with Flash disabled on Chrome and Firefox on Windows displays the "You need Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. " message.

This could actually work very well.

#78I'm afraid they'll manage to launch vim and will never be able to get out.
It's been awhile since a fresh install but is it ViM. is Vi still around? I just seem to recall some things not working right. Such as not being able to ZZ or ZQ out of a file.
vim defaults to 100% backwards compatible with vi. It has an option "nocompat" that enables some non-backwards compatible improvements.
ZZ definitely still works regardless of nocompat though.

Many solutions, e.g. make sleep 0.9 sec, i.e. less than period to guarantee entering the critical 1 second span at least once.
