Except that those won't work - the input has to be received one-character at a time, i.e. one character per chat message.

simple pseudo-code PoC, another 2 minutes of coding to fix that limitation.

You must live in an extremely simple world

This is definitely going to be good fun. Next in series: - Twitch manages a portfolio - Twitch defuses a bomb - Twitch controls air traffic - Twitch performs a heart surgery

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

It would blow all the money on commission fees.

I was thinking, "won't Twitch ban this for not being a game?". But the I realized that this itself is a game. I wonder what Twitch's policy on meta-gaming is.

I don't know Twitch's rules that well, but they have a Programming genre and I rarely see games there. But, I have seen Twitch developers stream non-game related stuff.

They have a separate directory for Game Development.

Vi is everywhere. Its part of the POSIX standard and comes out of the box (in one flavor or another) with every Linux Distro, OSX, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Darwin, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonFlyBSD. ViM is just Vi iMproved. They share most their keybinds but VIM has the whole plugin architecture thing. This is a big sticking point for a lot of VIM users [1]. If you ever end up on a Unix box that doesn't have VIM, you ca…

At least on Ubuntu, vi is really VIM: zck@zck-desktop:~$ vi --version VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Jan 2 2014 19:39:32)

On Arch, vi is the original Bill Joy vi.
