My name is Brian Whitman. I am a lapsed scientist and sound artist currently co-founder/CTO at The Echo Nest, a music intelligence company in Somerville, MA. As I work on various scaling and media search problems with detours into art projects I'll be posting details here in the hopes that I can learn from others. I'd always like to hear from you if you are working on similar things.
I’m sorry, did you just defend the use of a web app instead of a desktop app by pointing out a desktop app you use to run your web app?
I sure did. Why does it matter what layout engine is rendering your list view? Does [NSClunkyAssSortInboxBySenderWithinMinutes:10 crashProbability:0.7] imbue some magical properties I wasn’t aware of? Can you tell by the pixels? (PS: open bet: you’ll be using a mail client, desktop or no, that renders in a live webview by mid ‘10 at the latest)
