SVG, it's VRML for flatland.
Hacking on svg is bringing back memories of another markup language with multiple coordinate systems..
I am writing up a little guide on how to get productive with SVG so others can benefit from my pain.

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());

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

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?]

Care about standards? From my comment from Jeff Dean's post at http://
Here's some things you can do to support standards at Google:
-- Look at the pages your team generates the way Googlebot does:
http://
Add standard schema.org and html5 markup.
-- Discuss standards with the scant 200 other Googlers at http://
-- Participate in a standards mailing list/group. Plenty available for individuals at IETF or W3C. See standards-discuss if you want to participate as a Googler on corp-oriented bodies. Standards often suck because they're written by the standards/industrial complex instead of actual implementors.
-- Participate in an open-source project that implements a standard. These reference implementations are often poorly or insecurely coded. (For example a few people contributing to Apache Oltu would make Java OAuth that much better)
-- Consider exposing your amazing well-crafted stubby API via Apiary. Be extra careful to not break compatibility for a whole year. Write lots of integration and conformance tests.
-- Be like Vint. Suit up.
-- Above all have fun!

Broadening distribution. Syncing up the Moments API (aka History API) with schema.org actions and the recent changes for inbox activities would benefit us all.

I highly recommend taking some time to set up your own Adwords campaign. It's eye-opening.
There are things I like. [targeted emails are genuinely helpful and intelligent based on your situation]
And things that are not so great. [some confusing web UI for newbies, some difficulty getting keyword/landing page quality matched to bids]

Anyone interested in a structured data/markup/schema group to coordinate external facing efforts?
It seems that we're moving in the same directions:
- Publisher Markup (authorship/schema)
- Interactive Posts for Google+
- Moments API
- Inbox Actions (JSON-LD)
- Tools (SDTT, markup helper)
If interested you can plus people into this thread and I'll create a G+ community with these people as seed members...
