Me, At Conference. _*Oh, I work for Google*_ .... space time warps.

Next time I might just use a fictitious company. If we can agree on a secret name Googlers can just nod understandingly when I say "Oh, I work for Massive Dynamics".

Finding is somewhat ironic that the project to turn down Oz is called Deathstar. Past project G+ names included *MorningStar* and *NorthStar*

Oh and the follow on _Falcon_ project is aptly named, as you can see below...







 

 

Added a new ubiquity instance recently. I'm happy to say that I've moved my home directory to a git repo. For internal usage git on borg is a good choice.

gob-ctl create user/lindner/dotfiles
cd ~
git init
echo "*" > .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin sso://user/lindner/dotfiles
git push -u origin master

The trick I mention below for append only files also works for .dremel_history

Did Someone say *Megadeth*?

So I had to laugh at the Events Demo using Megadeth. Back in the day we used email to coordinate our outings.

\m/ forever!

Oh and I ended up losing my glasses and contracting a skin infection. Totally worth it.

I recommend reading Zuboff to get an alternate perspective on what we do around here. I also believe understanding her PoV can help you understand why Europe behaves the way they do.

I do think she is on to something with her concept of behavioral surplus. Google has succeeded in extracting knowledge from events in a way that while it does benefit people (free ad supported things!) also has downsides.

Also looking forward to her upcoming book, if it's like her others it will likely be prescient. (See _In the Age of the Smart Machine_ and _Support Economy_)

In May 2017 Java classes will change to reflect the new Alphabet ownership structure, which will ensure that they appear at the top of the imports list (where they belong)

You should name your java classes with the following prefix:

com.abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.google

instead of

com.google

A LSC and an increase in the max java line length will be done automatically. External libraries that are lexicographically less than abc..xyz will be eliminated (com.aardvark, etc.)

</snark>

But seriously I agree with the import ordering change. It does simplify things at the expense of some piper history pollution.









 

I'd like to buy this on Play, but it's not available in my country... AND the Web UI does not show this.
