Thank you! I can confirm that this works for me on Arch Linux after unpacking the .deb and running the executable from there. (This is with Spotify v1.0.67.582-1 from AUR - but I never saw the other freezing problem that mafrasi2 mentioned,

Concertmaster seems to be simpler and more focused, in terms of metadata, than anything I might have made would have been. Which is a good thing -- having used it a bit now (by applying the fix provided elsewhere in this thread) I have to s

Ooh! That works for me (so far). Thank you. This is a very nice UI, I'll have to explore it more. I especially like the play timeline for the whole piece with movements as subdivisions. Only complaints so far: the horizontal scrollbar

Tried this with the Linux version, no luck. (I'm using Arch Linux but unpacking the .deb reveals an executable that appears to run, it just gets stuck on Loading as you describe.) I really look forward to trying this out when that&#x27

This is a really interesting piece that introduced a number of ideas I hadn't ever thought deeply about, particularly in the section on nameless workflow. (I do think of myself as reasonably capable with both Mercurial and Git.) If you

Without knowing what the parent really intended, I assumed they were talking about the difficulty of deploying the same application across platforms rather than with desktop development on any single platform. Different system libraries, di

A lovely post. The Haskell-I/O-inspired brainflip is very nicely described. I've never been a Haskell programmer, but a thing that struck me about the Idris book (which is mentioned in one of the comments on that post) is its very

We had a source directory named "core" in an early version of the Rosegarden sequencer. At the time our build system was a simple Makefile, but in 2000 we switched to Automake and quickly learned that in some circumstances, using

SML is a practical and realistic language for general programming - surprisingly so, coming to it again 20+ years after first encountering it as an incomprehensible academic oddity. The world has moved much closer to it in the meantime. H

Yay! I love this book. I'm not sure it quite works as an introduction to functional programming, or even to SML, but it's full of thought-provoking material. It had me hooked when I got to this part of the introduction: "ML i

Yes, it's disappointing that you can't just open a structure to wrap an entire other SML library or program. SML's module mechanism is usually very tidy but it has its awkward aspects, a pity for an otherwise so elegant langu

I think you're right about this one. Sorry about that. It seems to have started interacting badly with Ghostery -- which I had been using for years, but which did have an update recently as well. I tried a different ad-blocker and it&#

I have a (three-year-old) laptop with 16GB at work and another (three-year-old) laptop with 8GB here, and speaking as a C++-etc developer, I never notice any difference. Maybe if you use a substantial number of VM environments.
