Yeah, I was wondering more if this was baked-in, or if there was a framework handling it, or if someone just saw another developer doing it and everyone decided it looked nice and implemented it on their own. They all look incredibly similar.

Good idea. Garmin Connect doesn't yet have an API, so I don't think that is possible. It's probably possible to do it with Strava, so I'll look into that.
Apple stopped caring about Java a long time ago. They deprecated the Java bindings for Cocoa back in '05; stopped bundling it in 10.7 last year, now they've punted the OSX JVM back to Oracle.

Not to say that really matters to Oracle, the desktop has never been Java's strong point.

Looks good. I uploaded a few rides. It would be nice if you could auto imports rides from Strava. Not sure if they'd be cool with that.

I bulk uploaded 23 rides, there was no clear indication when the upload was done and when I could navigate away from the page. I assumed it would continue processing rides in the background, but I guess not since I got an error and had to reupload my rides.

Some rider are showing 0 distance, like:

The Linux desktop never did any better -- RELATIVE to the rest of the market -- than Ximian Desktop on Red Hat 6.2. If de Icaza wants to blame someone for the failure of the Linux desktop, I would point the finger back at him. He's the one that dropped out of the effort, became a Microsoft shill, and continues to push (the speciously patented) Mono to this day. Also, I don't know why he's lamenting a strong leader casting a clear vision on the desktop these days. Canonical is doing EXACTLY that.
It's not uncommon in other areas, such as food, for people to be prematurely dismissive - such as "I don't like Chinese food" or "seafood", or whatever, based on having eaten one or two dishes and being put off it.

I decided to teach my niece how to program at the age of 10 as well. She had already just naturally gotten the hang of the computer since she was about 6 (though I had to reverse the mouse buttons because originally her small hands couldn't left click). At 10 years old she was already telling my sister-in-law how to do things, was a near master of google-fu and had all the game sites she liked bookmarked. I wanted to show her what else was possible, without it seeming 'sciencey' (apparently that is the new equivalent of 'nerdy').

I knew her weakness was video games - so I got her using DS Game Maker (http://dsgamemaker.com/) which allows you to to create games for your Nintendo DS. I had already set her up with a flash cart, so getting the games on there was a breeze. She started off with some real simple things, but as she learned how to do more and more (with some help from me on getting jump 'physics' going in Dynamic BASIC) and she eventually had a little game with her dog as the star in a 30 room game that each had puzzles to solve.

It's amazing what someone so young can accomplish - sadly her interest has dwindled and she is now on track to become a fashion designer. We shall see ;)
Sure, in theory a well curated walled garden is the perfect solution. In practice, though, there will always be disagreements between what should and shouldn't be outside those walls. And this is just my opinion, but a walled garden run by a giant corporation will always be seriously flawed.

I would love to see some research about low dose chlorine dioxide and it's effect on parasites like malaria. ClO2 is a strong oxidizer and in very low doses can kill pathogens without causing harm to the body; incidentally, ClO2 is used on our food while washing it.

Note that by very low doses I mean one to two drops per 8oz of water.

The ClO2 is cheap though and would cause some drug companies to lose a large amount of revenue if it were proven to be effective in killing a wide range of pathogens. I'd love it if there were more research in this area.

Ditto for cooking shows, but it's easier to judge the results of fashion because I can't taste the cooking show results.

It's very much launched. Been out for a month and a half now. And I don't think OP has any affiliation.
There is an explanation for this. VoltDB latency is currently sub-millisecond for single-node deployments, but often several times higher for clusters. This is due to the current system of global-ordering-agreement that adds some latency. So for synchronous workloads, you'll see a big drop moving from one to two nodes. With enough parallelism, you will see close to double the throughput. Still, we usually look at scalability starting at 2-3 nodes, because a distributed system with one node is a different animal.

This is something we address in our docs, but people naively testing VoltDB run into it more than we'd like. So for the next major release, we've re-worked how we do global ordering and can now achieve sub-millisecond latency on larger clusters in internal testing. Note that there's no change to our serializable consistency to achieve lower latency. So this new scheme has a huge impact on synchronous workloads, but the scalability with enough parallelism has been close to linear all along.

Another Volt developer here.

Short answer, Volt establishes a global order across transactions. Transactions can't be executed immediately because their position in the global order isn't known when they initially arrive. The exchange of ordering information is driven by in-flight transactions. In the absence of sufficient in-flight transactions to drive the ordering process heartbeats are sent every 5 milliseconds resulting in increased latency and lower throughput as the system waits on heartbeats. 2-4x the concurrency should have shown different results.

We're finishing a different transaction initiation system that doesn't produce a global order so that people can do this kind of benchmark and get the expected result. You can switch the beta version on in 2.8.

I also wonder if they had clock skew. The global ordering process is always delayed by the amount of clock skew you have. With NTP properly configured this is 10s of microseconds, but with a typical out of the box NTP config it will be milliseconds unless you have a lot of uptime.

I don't really see this as an excuse and it is why we are eating the pain of a transaction initiation rewrite so people can use Volt the traditional way with small numbers of synchronous client threads.

Java is a never ending story of fun. I had a case where my grandma had issues logging into her online banking account, because the applet threw some sort of error response to her.

Mobile is a focus insofar as the master-master sync working well for mobile apps where the user may be online most of the time, but offline a significant amount as well. I believe TouchDB is where they're focusing exclusively on mobile now, and it's less of a focus with the main branch.

As for CouchDB vs. Couchbase, Couchbase is a fork of CouchDB headed by CouchDB's creators Damien Katz and J. Chris Anderson. Couchbase basically throws a lot of the nice things of CouchDB out the window (such as the HTTP API) in order to integrate Membase feature.

This is worth reading: http://www.couchbase.com/couchdb

I think Samsung deserves a bit of slack on their first kick at the can. Look at the other two Android cameras - the Polaroid and the Nikon - did they get it right? If I was going to bet on who will get Android right on a camera first, I'd pick Samsung over Nikon.

Give it a few software iterations, when everyone understands what Android's fit is with a dedicated camera, and things will get better.

While it's easy to make an argument for Apple getting things right on the first time, the bottom line is that Samsung isn't Apple and never will be.

This is just me, but in the two examples the first one is algorithm and the second is code. The difference being that in the first one he starts to explain the sequence he wants but apparently expects you to complete the sequence to code the function. Granted he does give you enough of the sequence that you can probably see the pattern. The second he basically tells you the equation he wants to see in code.

The first one requires an ability, even if minor, beyond just coding while the second is all about coding. I also find it interesting that he says the second version was more difficult for his applicants than the first. Maybe instead of "algorithm" it's more about pattern recognition that leads to minor math skills to then coding.

Not that I know of, but I would say that teaching "loops" and "functions" is almost definitely going to bog them down. Loops are not interesting on their own, but rather in terms of what you can do with them. So teaching them how to count (which is easy for children to grasp) is the proper beginning, followed by repetition (do something n times). They will learn loops, but only in terms of fulfilling a purpose. Things like functions come in later, as they are initially unnecessary. When they start to write the same lines of code over and over, you can point out the idea of reusing parts of code that get stuck in something called a function. Abstraction is thus quite easy to get them to understand (I speak only from experience, not a studied truth).

Basically, you teach them what they need in order to accomplish a specific task. Are arrays really useful to teach at first if they don't need serialized access to data? Better to wait until they need something like that. The goal is to give them problems that require those concepts and see if they ask for it. Initially, they might make 20 variables (where an array would do), and complain that it gets tiresome. Perfect opportunity to explain an array, while the interest is at a peak.

It's a question of two imperfect approaches. Google's "open" Android market (it isn't quite totally open is it?) is far from utopia too, no? All that malware sucks for non-technical users. Why not allow users the choice between both approaches? Or shall we follow your "draconian rule" and disallow this choice?

You should get an actual (and logical) understanding of "logical fallacy" and then review your comments above. Sigh.
