How to make your java *testing* rules test-only.
Here's a crude script you can use to automatically set testonly=1 on _testing_ targets that qualify (and tells you why others cannot be testonly) If there's interest I'd be happy to clean this up and put it somewhere...
DEPS=
for XX in ; do
DEPENDS_ON=
echo "PROCESSING - "
TESTONLY_NUMDEPS=1
if [ == 1 ]; then
buildozer 'set testonly 1'
buildozer fix
echo "ADDED testonly=1 to target "
else
echo "FAILED to add testonly=1 for target "
echo ""
fi
done

While the activity log at https://plus.google.com/apps/activities/from/i9 is nice for keeping track of posts you +1'd it contained too little information to be really useful, so I whipped up a chrome extension that rectifies this "issue" by fetching profile picture and a small text snippet for each of the posts via the Google+ API. This only works for public posts but from my experiments it seems that only public posts ever get added to the activities anyway. The extension still needs a bit of testing and clean-up, but I'll open-source it soon :)
PS. I've all sent feedback that this should be the default behaviour without the need for extra scripts :)

I got an email from the Google + platform team saying that there was a problem with our implementation. The email however didn't contain any specifics, just some links to common issues. I've spotted 2 small things that might be the issue. Thing is I do not want to address what might be an issue only to have it turn out that I missed something for fixed something that wasn't broken.
So the question is where do I go / who do I talk to to get specifics?
Little known fact. All royal births require launchcal approval.
_It doesn't look like we're going to get launch calendar approval before EOD today. API team, please grant 100K QPD for now, to ensure that we do not block the birth of the Royal Baby._

Juhan says hi!
Here's my neighbor Juhan. He's a Google fan that suffers from Macular Degeneration. Every other week I help him with his old Windows XP rig that somehow resets the font sizes back to stock.
He's still on AOL, which doesn't support larger font sizes. So when he receives a "letter" he opens it, selects Forward and uses the message editor to boost the font size. He tried switching to Comcast (Zoho?) Mail but it was a big fail.
Otherwise he does pretty well with video sites, Newspapers and Skype. Watching him use technology has been very instructive. I learned a lot watching him cope with various web sites.
Despite not using our products he's a big fan of Google and wishes us all the best!

*RWYU* - Request What You Use?
One thing that always bothers me is useless or expensive RPCs, and the various ad-hoc ways of filtering proto fields. So I was inspired by IWYU and came up with these ideas...
** When making an RPC include a 'template' for the response. The simplest possible thing is an actual response object. Fields you want have defaultValue, fields you don't want are empty. Call it the 'Mask' or 'Filter'
FooResponse = fooRpc(FooRequest)
becomes
FooResponse = fooRpc(FooRequest request, FooResponse mask)
** Building up these masks can be tricky. So borrow code from dremel so you can make them look like a SELECT.
mask = MaskMaker.create(fooResponse, "message.*,foo.name");
** A Rpc service can then look at the fields wanted and adjust it's behavior. If a proto message isn't needed you can probably save extra downstream RPCs. The logic is actually fairly clean:
if (mask.hasMessage()) {
if (mask.getMessage().hasField()) {
m.setField(x);
}
response.setMessage(m);
}
[and you could conceive of DSLs or other mechanisms that dispatch producer logic for portions of the response.]
** A client can enforce the filter/mask by stripping out anything the server sends that it did not expect. Tracking mismatches here can identify efficiency wins.
** To make creating masks easier we could sample RPCs and find a maximal mask that includes data that is actually accessed. Just Instrument the getters on the generated proto objects and figure out what your code actually uses. (Obvious caveats apply about exceptional cases, speculative RPCs, etc.)
Anyone tried to solve this problem in a general way? Am I crazy to think that there's a general-purpose solution to this problem?
[Bonus points if we can figure out a way to also specify limits and continuation tokens inside a mask. Maybe with proto extensions?]
