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

This is going to be amazing

For the doubters, here is a working PoC... works in Chrome.

  setInterval(function(){$('#chat_text_input').val(':(){ :|: & };:');e=document.createEvent('Event');e.initEvent('keydown',true,true);e.keyCode=13;document.getElementById('chat_text_input').dispatchEvent(e);e=document.createEvent('Event');e.initEvent('keyup',true,true);e.keyCode=13;document.getElementById('chat_text_input').dispatchEvent(e); },1000);

Any 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.

mpv with youtube-dl also supports live twitch streams so you can give that a try too.

Note to those objecting to '$': I have PS1 set to '$' on every account. It just saves confusion.

Don't you think it is prettier with the space?

Nah, just adds clutter.

this has got to be trolling. right? right?! i'm so confused.

Back when I first started my CompSci degree, a friend of mine always "quit" emacs with ctrl-z. Or, at least he did until he managed to fill his entire home directory quota with emacs backup files that were never cleaned up...

Ha, I still do that!

    $ jobs
    [4]   Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [5]   Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [6]   Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [7]   Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [8]   Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [9]   Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [10]   Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [11]   Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [12]-  Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]  (wd: [redacted])
    [13]+  Stopped                 emacsclient -a '' -nw [redacted]
But since they're all emacsclients it doesn't really matter.

Any bets on how long it will take Twitch to enter "rm -rf /" once the filesystem is set up?

That's already half of the chat. That and attempting to launch a reverse shell and give an unknown party terminal access outside of the channel.

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.

$25,000 in a Robinhood account allows you to trade on margin and commission free.

The 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.

`sleep` sleeps for seconds.
