My new go-to way to share mobile android screens during meetings.
Many conference rooms have a local input for HDMI and this works great with it. Tips:
- Enable Settings→Developer Options→Show touches
- Fire up the camera if you need to display a device that's not slimport compatible. (like the 2012 nexus 7)
- Get it from stuff - https://mystuff.corp.google.com/stuff/items/1000

Recruiting... in reverse
Hi Paul,
Long time no see! Hope all is well with you. Have been trying to reach someone in engineering at Google to see if there might be interest in acquiring my company. Would be cool to catch up sometime, please let me know what you think!
Here's some more info regarding our company / technology:
....
XXXXX is fully bootstrapped, we have no debt and no additional shareholders (just the two of us). The company was recently incorporated, so a transaction would be straightforward. We are both versatile generalists in our respective fields with lots of experience innovating hands-on as well as managing teams. And we’d love an opportunity to demo our tech with anyone who’s interested!

It is possible to do #responsivewebdesign with a G+ badge? I want the badge large for big screens so I set the width to 450 but it doesn't resize to fit like all my other elements, here in the image you can see the badge when zoomed-in is off the screen. Can you allow (make happen, implement) a 100% width instead of 450?

HashSets
Replacing static HashSet<String> with Java 7 string switch?
Has anyone investigated whether Java 7 switch is more memory efficient than HashSet<String> or ImmutableSet<String>? I think it might be. Read on....
I ask because HashSet is one of the more bloated java collection classes. It uses 32 bytes for each used entry + an array for the capacity. For example the follow
ing HashSet uses 128 bytes (2*32 + 16 * 4):
private static final HashSet<String> FOO = new HashSet<>();
foo.add("a")

I ask because HashSet is one of the more bloated java collection classes. It uses 32 bytes for each used entry + an array for the capacity. For example the follow
ing HashSet uses 128 bytes (2*32 + 16 * 4):
private static final HashSet<String> FOO = new HashSet<>();
foo.add("a")
foo.add("b");
boolean isFoo(String s) { return FOO.contains(s);}
We can replace that with:
boolean isFoo(String s) {
switch (s) {
case "a":
case "b":
return true;
default:
return false;
}
}
Java 7 transforms this code into something like this:
switch (s.hashCode()) {
case -1234:
return s.equals("a");
case -55999:
return s.equals("b");
default:
return false;
}
Which maps to a tableswitch or lookupswitch. Squinting it appears that you'd need the following for each entry:
tableswitch:
per-entry: hashcode + result value (8 bytes)
equals test: 4 opcodes (16 bytes)
So it would appear that you have 24bytes/entry.
Performance would be limited by the JVM/Dalvik/Art implementation of tableswitch which can be O(n)

One can learn a lot by looking into how real Architects design things. Airports, Parking Garages, Bathrooms, Missile Control Systems, Furniture, you name it, it's in there. It also includes things highly relevant to our field like accessibility, design for failure, and social factors and privacy:

If we're doing interest based stuff we're definitely going to need a killfile. In fact I'd say that it's more important than expressing interests.

All Google+ widgets have been updated to use the script[async + defer] pattern! E.g. +1 button docs:
What's the benefit? Loading widgets via script[async+defer] does not block the document parser (see [1]), and allows the preload scanner to discover the script resource and initiate an earlier fetch (see [2]). Net outcome, both your page and the widget load faster! Have a G+ widget on your page? Check out the docs for guidance on how to update your snippets.
Kudos to the G+ team for taking the lead on this! Hope to see more widget providers adopt the same pattern.
What drawbacks might this have?
Craig Wallace -- pretty much none. The only reason to use the old method is if you want to trigger loading the script after a specific event. Otherwise you're always better off letting the browser preload your scripts.
Paul Lindner Hi, Paul. Just went to see if I can improve the performance of the signin button - but https://developers.google.com/+/web/signin/add-button#step_2_include_the_google_script_on_your_page doesn't appear to be updated.
https://developers.google.com/+/web/api/javascript#loading_the_javascript_api_asynchronously does have the updated code in it, so I'll go and use that then: but just wanted to flag that up.
What about cross browser compatibility?
Craig Wallace - Ilya Grigorik goes into the browser concerns in depth. Basically it's not a problem any more.

Yah, one way is having the loader to detect resizes and re-render the iframe (though the redraw effect will be clunky). Better (maybe): loader rpcs new size, and the iframe handles it pure client side.
