Bin packing is NP Hard....
1st time with Shopping express-extended. Oh the boxes!
Bottom box is 2ft ^3 -- toilet paper/paper towels.
Middle boxes contained misc things from other stores.
Top-one is 14" ^3 -- It contained a 4-pack of cucumber soda and enough bubble wrap to float a boat.
I'm saving the boxes and should be able to reuse the smaller ones. I did send feedback to team about this situation.

Parameterized tests in Junit 3 -- another Java #protip
Adding some experimental code that modifies a junit3 test? Yearning for Junit4 @RunWith(Parameterized.class) annotation?
For simple things like an experiment flag you can do this:
Add the flag to the base test class.
boolean experiment = false;
Create a subclass of your test and change the value in your setUp method:
class FooWithExperimentTest extends FooTest {
@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
this.experiment = true;
super.setUp();
}
}
Your subclass will run with the varying value.

TAP submit speedup #protip
- You mail a CL
- The presubmit automatically starts a TAP run.
- You get an email with the results.
- You did *not* change the CL after you mailed it.
If all of the above is true, use the TAP base with *--rerun* when submitting to save time. The base is in the email TAP sends you and it looks like this:

Protip: Use Optional#asSet() to populate collections from optional values.
Was annoyed with lots and lots of code that looks like this:
Optional<Foo> foo = getFoo();
if (foo.isPresent()) {
collection.add(foo.get());
}
Turns out there's asSet which lets you write code like this:
collection.addAll(getFoo().asSet());

DEPS=

DEPENDS_ON=
echo "PROCESSING - "

echo "ADDED testonly=1 to target "
else

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?]
