Well, technically, replacing everything between the Ganges and Gibralter, and between the Congo and the Alps, with butterscotch pudding would be a solution.

The two-state colloid.

The two-state emulsion

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

Twitch moderates the Republican debates.

I'm confused. I thought it was Twitch controls Trump.

I'm afraid they'll manage to launch vim and will never be able to get out.

My "favorite" thing is when you hit Ctrl-C, and Vim says "Type :quit to exit Vim". Vim isn't dumb. It knows what Ctrl-C means, it knows what you wanted to happen. But it's gonna make you do it its way anyway, because fuck you.

Actually, that's a feature... Ctrl-C exits insert mode. If it quit vim when in Normal mode, you'd accidentally quit Vim all the time. Less annoying to just show a helpful message in case you actually meant quit, than dump everyone who knows what Ctrl-C does back to a shell.

`sleep` sleeps for seconds.

And `date` returns a timestamp with seconds precision. `time sh -c 'if [ "$(date)" != "Sat Oct 31 16:00:00 EDT 2015" ]; then sleep 1; fi'` took around 1.010 seconds on my machine, but that includes starting a new shell, so there's probably a much smaller than 1% chance that that particular second will be missed. EDIT: here's a little program to test this: #!/usr/bin/env bash while true; do target=$(expr $(date +%s) +…

Accidentally left this running for a few hours...

      71 FAIL :(
    5747 OK! :)
So about 1% failure rate.

You must live in an extremely simple world

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); ^== go into a stream in Chrome, paste that into your JS console...suc…

Wow, really basic JavaScript. SO impressed. not.

It would blow all the money on commission fees.

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

I'll pay my (IB) fees and get actually my orders filled instead. Plus, if you're only playing with stocks, you're missing a lot of the possibilities with a margin account.

If you want an easy to understand video on Installing Arch Linux in 15 minutes: https://youtu.be/_fBIeKQSiAc

There's not such thing as a 15 minute Arch install. It takes you 7.5. That's minutes or hours but there's no in between.

Can confirm, have done it thrice.

Sorry I didn't produce a production ready framework in 10 minutes.

Not really. Some programs disable it including vim (at least on some setups).

Every vim I've ever played on has respected `ctrl-z`. In fact, I use `ctrl-z` to jump out of my vim (to restart a server, ls the local dir, etc).

My vimrc has

    source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
    behave mswin
which maps Ctrl-z to undo.
