@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 :(

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).

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?

"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)

> 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?

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.

This is a stupid question, but what about a guy like me who has no access to a server?

I'm going traveling for all of next month, the only sites I'll be checking where I'll be logged in is my hotmail account, and I might check my bank account (Chase) - both use https, so I suppose I'm in the clear then? (also when I click "log out" on these sites, it logs me out, but if my session has been hijacked, will it log the hijacker out of the session he's hijacked of mine as well?)

Thanks for the link!

I'm going to be traveling for a while pretty soon and using a lot of internet cafes and other free wi-fi spots so I should probably get this set up - I'm worried someone will be able to grab my password while logging in to check mail.

If Lion came with MacRuby installed on it you wouldn't need to bundle MacRuby to distrubte the app ... for Lion users? But what about for those of us who are on Leopard/Snow Leopard (or Tiger for that matter) - while Apple users seem to adopt the newer tech much quicker than others it still seems like you'd be cutting out a large group of potential customers/users.

I hope you don't mind if I ask you a few questions about work in China as it may be relevant to me in the future:

1) I've heard China often has 6-day workweeks as a norm, is this true? And likewise that official time off (vacation time for instance) is hard to come by? 2) Do you work on the technical side of things? If so how did you get the position? (I work in consulting and right now we don't actually have any clients in China).

Curious if you had a music background or if, like the rest of us here, you're an engineer of some type (not sound engineer though) who got into music in spare time?

Just wondering because I'm a programmer who doesn't know anything about musical production or theory but has always entertained the idea of making ambient-style electronic music.

I'm wondering if you know whether there's any program that allows earning miles to spend on any airline?

I'm going to be doing a trip in two months that will take me from the Mid-West to SE Asia and then I'll hop a few places in SE Asia before coming back to the states - I currently don't have any frequent flyer program as I hardly ever fly (a few times a year) - but I'd hate for this trip to go wasted - plus I may be traveling quite a bit next year.

I actually don't really understand using this as an "IDE" - part of the reason I don't think I'd be able to leave Eclipse is because it's "fully loaded" so to speak - such as navigating my project's directory/structure, debugging, etc, and I don't think I could live without auto-complete (maybe I'm lazy, but I didn't see it in this video and I don't see how it'd be possible in a Vim environment?), not just auto-complete for the time saving but also for the inspection - I (unfortunately) work with a convoluted piece of technology where every instance of a class seems to inherit a gazillion properties & methods and I sometimes don't know what I'm looking for unless I can scroll down the list that auto-complete gives me.

> ARB_ES2_compatibility

Can anyone comment on this? What's the standard procedure, do I just write regular ES2 code and it's somehow automatically GL 4.1? Or what would I have to do? (OpenGL noob here)

Is there any way to make notifications by keyword?

I entered "OpenGL" into the search box to see if any new books were out, apparently there aren't, but can I subscribe to notifications for "OpenGL" or do I just have to select a category ("Programming" in this case). If I have to do that then I'll get a ton of stuff unrelated to my area of interest.

Are you self-employed or do you work freelance or who do you work for and what do you do?

I only ask because this is something I'm very much interested in doing myself, but I'm very apprehensive about making a big change like this due to job/money concerns.
