@dpritchett, how is your key mappings defined for this?

I have the following in my .vimrc, it's commented out because I had gotten some weird behavior:

inoremap <esc> <nop>

inoremap jk <esc>

When I'm in insert mode with these mappings un-commented, if I hit the arrow keys I get input like the following:

0A0D0B0C

(up, left, down, right keys). It prints the hex values into the editor instead of moving the cursor. And if I click with the mouse or drag in insert mode:

[M_M1[M@M2[M@N1[M#U ... etc.

With those mappings commented out I don't have this problem - of course I'm back to stretching my pinky 3 rows of keys up to the escape key :(


This is cool :)

Any estimate on when it will be complete?


On average how quick do you see a return from your investment (loan) on this site? How common are losses and what assurances does lendingclub give?

I'm just wondering if it'd be a good thing to sign up for and play around with, I've currently got a spare $30k sitting around not doing anything (except losing value I suppose).


Payments are made in equal amounts each month over a 3 or 5 year period.

Losses depend on the kinds of loans someone invests in, so this varies.

These are unsecured loans, so defaults are normal. My strategy is to try to limit myself to the minimum per-loan investment, which is $25 per loan. This way a given default won't significantly harm me (I'd only be out $25 per defaulted loan).

Of course, none of this is investment advice, read the prospectus, etc...


By chance do you (or anyone) know what the law is regarding side-projects in Illinois?


Illinois generally follows the more permissive Cali-style model.

The IEEE put out a publication that gives a solid overview of the differences in state laws; it mentions Illinois law specifically in a few places and includes a citation to Illinois statues that you can consult:

Cool thanks!


How does bookmarking items save them for me?

The copy on your website says watch videos anywhere, anytime - so if I go to a youtube video that's a half hour long and bookmark it, then go to watch the video later on when I'm on the subway (with no internet connection), I can view the video? (so it is cached on my iPad and if so how? I'm not an iOS developer but aren't there any storage limitations placed upon developers? (allowing apps to store tens of large videos seem like it would take up a lot of space))

If it is saved onto my iPad, I assume the video needs to be downloaded to the device - so I can't go to a lengthy vimeo video, bookmark it, then turn the device off or go offline?


all invalid :(


Wow, guys. Here's a few more:

tcgyJc «- Just used this one. Didn't expect the first on the list to be free.

imogNG «- Someone else used this one.

And Thanks! Looks like an awesome service - taking it for a spin…


"However I have already paid to go and see someone who played it, and this was certainly part of my decision to do so. They've probably made more money off me from that than they would have if I bought the flac."

Who's the "they" there? The DJ who played the track or the artist who produced it? Sometimes it seems that in electronic music DJs get more attention/credit/$ than the artists who made the tracks being played. (although I know some DJs are also producers as well, I think they're the exception to the rule)


Could be both, often it would be a DJ who is on the same label or part of the same crew as the producer who wrote the tracks. Often these people share studios, so there is a direct monetary link there.

There are almost no DJs who aren't producers. The few that are only DJs either have some special and unique facet to their style of mixing, or they date back to the early days when Things were Different.


> Typically I roll with Django, but have been super impressed with the Rails 3.

Can you explain what specifically you like more about Rails? I've been using Django because my initial exposure to Rails confused me - after running the basic "start project" command there were dozens of files generated - compared to the 4 that get generated with Django (and the 3 or 4 more when you start a Django "app").

I'm also curious if you're planning on turning this site into a money-maker, just because it says joining will get you "50 free", but I don't see any pricing anywhere else?


I can't go as far as saying that I prefer one more than the other. They're both pretty awesome in their own way.

I'm actually way more comfortable with Django, but the Gem eco-system with Rails is amazingly mature, and the Rack based approach of Rails 3 seems to have positioned the framework really well, architecturally. I found Ruby/Rails idioms pretty confusing when beginning. But most of the learning curve w/ simple projects is really about "where stuff lives", and that's the same effort to learn in any framework.

Django pros: Admin, Python, Explicit model definitions (not via introspection like Active Record), South > Rails migrations (IMO), easier to create relational models, query syntax rocks.

Rails pros: Gem ecosystem, Passenger, Capistrano, Haml/Sass, Mailers

re: Pricing - TBD :)


Fabric is turning out to be really nice.

There are some new features that are should be merged into the project provided from here: http://tav.espians.com/fabric-python-with-cleaner-api-and-pa...


Can someone tell me if net neutrality was to fail and big service providers did restrict access as they saw fit - what ways would there be around it without paying extra $ to line their pockets? VPN? Something else? (I don't know much about this stuff so sorry if this is a dumb question)


Yes I've been playing it continuously since getting it about 3 or 4 days ago.

I just finished (reaching the end of year 20) after re-starting several times. All in all the game totally lost it's fun after year 14 or so due to being incredibly easy. I had way too much $, characters were all super powerful, etc. (as such I see no replay value right now).

The only thing that was still hard was getting a perfect 40 on the new games, I would always end up with either a 38 or 39 and only got the 40 a few times.
