At least one of Ruby Motion or Xamarin Studio is compiling source code into iPhone apps.
Furthermore iPhone apps are definitely allowed to embed interpreters (caveat: no JITC's) and run scripts included with the binary or downloaded as part of an in-app purchase.
I think evil mode in emacs is probably the best bet. However I've messed around with elisp a bit in the past though and I can't say I am thrilled enough with it to make the jump. I wish one of the projects to get Emacs going with a scheme would get off the ground...
If mzscheme/racket scripting support for Vim were given the love that python support is getting instead, that would please me immensely. It seems nobody is using that though.
One can use Python, Lua, Ruby, and a bunch of other programming languages to write VIM scripts. At least on ArchLinux, the vim binary comes with support enabled for these scripting languages.
> So they'd rather have something show up to show that "the system is working".
Haha, that's such a ridiculously poor argument. Why not just email yourself something or ask a friend to email something? How bewildered by the internet are the people you imagine? "Oh good, 'embolden my penis'. It's still working. I was worried for a second there when I closed all the internets on my screen."
USA! Calls should be charged at both ends, internet should be charged at both ends, and if a company like Youtube is making too much money Comcast should be allowed to fine it for not sharing the profits it gained on the bandwidth it already bought.
Maybe the dad stays home, or it's a gay couple, so it's modern single earner.
Unless I have been grossly mislead, if singer-earner salaries had appreciated like CEO salaries from the 1950's to now one parent could afford to stay home or just work part time. I don't know why it should be necessary for both persons of a marriage to work full-time on average.
Being a single-earner household is a luxury and a 20k/year household cannot afford it.
There are always going to be shit jobs meant for teenagers that pay wages good for teenagers (cashiers, part-time lifeguards, sandwich assemblers, etc). If an adult tries to support 3 other people with such a job, they are going to have a very difficult time and that should not surprise or disturb us.
You aren't going to get companies to scale their pay based on what the individual employee needs. If you did, would McDonalds have to pay the fry chef with 7 kids more than the fry chef with 3 kids, who is in turn paid more than the 19 year old fry chef who is trying to pay for community college and car insurance? That would be absurd. If you think that somebody needs to take up the slack, you need to look to government, not corporations.
As women entered the workforce, this created more supply, which drove wages down, which forced more women to enter the workforce. Similarly, two-earner households could outbid single-earner households when purchasing real estate, which also drove the need for a two-earner household.
This transition is not reversible. However, it only happens once (excepting polygamy).
There's a package that can accelerate all the iOS animations if you've jailbroken your phone. It's quite a nicer experience and for me another reminder of why it's important to have a libre phone in the future.
I run a jailbroken iOS 6 phone, and have all my animations set to 2x speed. It's easy to forget how much faster that is until I use someone else's device (it's everything--home button, unlock, etc).
