Looks amazing, can't wait to get access to it. I'm starting my thesis on music information retrieval, just studying the related work for now. If anybody has any suggestion on the directions I could follow would be really welcome. My initial

I couldn't be happier, I'm standing up late starting the research for my playlist generation thesis. All hail recommender systems and the internet serendipity.

Your example shows how the author's conclusions are wrong. IMHO the biggest milestones of Javascript life have been his libraries and the creative uses we have seen around them. From XMLHttpRequest to jQuery (and Prototype, Mootools, etc) a

I just want it there every time as a small unobtrusive clue. How many times is that feature used vs how many times could it be useful? (or the others suggested here who need user intervention and never allow you to code while seeing this in

I also use it (from Visual Studio), but I can't edit while in the "blame" view, it's something outside VS, I guess the Ankh plugin is responsible for that. What I need is something in the code when I'm editing it, it could be some kind of h

For this to take place we need better IDE's, ones that gives you more context on the code: * when it was written, by whom and to answer which need * when was it changed and to solve which issue * if it has been ever debugged and if any bug

It really depends on what you consider an university of note, if you set the bar really high you can raise that to a thousand kilometers. Is there any engineering university of note in Portugal or Spain? That said, there are more than accep

Me too, 5 days ago. Maybe it's time to switch back? Alfred hasn't surprise me in any way, maybe QS set the bar too high.

Thank you for your answer. It's a valid example but I guess it doesn't prove the point that the web isn't up to the job of serving applications. Maybe in mobile that's true, maybe mobile it's the future. For now I would counterargue that we

I agree that the dev tools license costs for a startup are/should be negligible, I was just pointing that Azure isn't a substitute for a dev environment (and it's licensing costs). I also think that the problem of the production environment

Plus: If you go Azure where will you develop? Will some nice M$ guy install Visual Studio in the cloud and you will use remote desktop? Where will you test? No local dev servers, really? Besides that, Azure is NOT usage payed, Azure is an a

This is a great point. For me it isn't poetic at all, but a deductible consequence. If our job is creating abstractions it must be really hard to create tools which abstract properly our job. Where abstract properly would be separating wh

Surely it will be really hard to get better ways of visualizing code, it's an abstract thing and so it's hard to represent. But what we are really missing is execution visualization. Applications aren't code, applications are execution syst
