I wouldn't honestly be surprised if Twitch managed to get better returns than a lot of automated trading software...

#85The 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.
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.
Even if you set the interval to the minimum possible, there is no upper bound on how long it may take to complete, or indeed, any guarantee that it will complete. In this case it doesn't matter, but I point this out because I've seen people trying to use this sort of logic in places where it does matter in the last three months.

#86Earlier quoted context omitted.
> setTimeout(function(){$('#chat-input').val('dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4M');$('#chat-send').click();},100) > setTimeout(function(){$('#chat-input').val(':(){ :|: & };:');$('#chat-send').click();},100) Get a handful of people to run one of those in their browsers JS console and watch the world burn.
Except that those won't work - the input has to be received one-character at a time, i.e. one character per chat message.
Can't you just modify the script to add 1 char at the time and the event handler will get it anyways?

#87Not Gentoo?
Gentoo is real hard, but I've heard from people the Arch install is even more painful :/

You're talking about `sleep` specifically here, right? Or general use of timers/polling for flow control?

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.
If you append /hls to the URL you'll get to the HTTP Live Streaming player.

Pretty sure it's just a splash screen, but yeah :p
