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?

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)

*Human Factors Design Handbook - 1981*
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:
_Personal space factors are important in establishing the privacy requirements for architectural design._

Farewell.
After a 4 month battle against cancer we made that hard yet logical decision to end the fight. Tommy didn't visit Google often, but he always enjoyed the attention, laying in the grass, and walking the trails nearby.
Thanks to everyone that put up with my last minute cancellations for vet visits and the extra time I spent tending to his needs in his final months.

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.
We already support per-user and per-post ignoring. Why not per-interest ignoring?

So it appears that Pages that restrict visibility from the US will not get indexed in search. I just checked this using webmaster tools and things don't show up.
I doubt that's what these page owners expect...

Heads up webmasters -- please consider updating your javascript snippets.
Originally shared by Ilya Grigorik
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://

What about cross browser compatibility?
Craig Wallace - Ilya Grigorik goes into the browser concerns in depth. Basically it's not a problem any more.

The next time you ignore a few deadline exceededs ask yourself: Where are the people affected on the participation curve. Often they're the ones with thousands of blocked people, tons of posts and +1s and *your most valuable users*. Call 'em whales if you like, but do not ignore them.

IMO we need *Public* to be different from *Publicized*. There are people that want stuff to be out there, but not promoted. Give the user a choice here..
We've been through this hell many times. User thinks their audience is small. We blow it up big time:
- Google+ Shares of Youtube videos
- Photos on a Map
- next?
I've told this story many times, but when I was at hi5 we analyzed why people deleted their accounts. A big percentage were people with photos that appeared in the hi5 version of 'What's Hot'.

*This is how Googlebot fetched the page*
So my #perfcrastination with SEO got the shout out, so I guess I should tell you more... I learned a few things about driving search traffic at some startups and at LinkedIn which really mastered the practice. When Authorship was unlaunched I noticed that we did quite poorly in this area.
So I got our sites verified on Google Webmaster tools and started going through a few checklists. Bushels of low hanging fruit. Many issues have been fixed, but there are many more to go. I'm collecting resources on this sites page:
https://
And here's a cover bug that lists many of the problems found:

Also if you're interested in these issues I can add you to the webmaster tools sites. You can see what people are searching for and what your pages look like to Googlebot. And hopefully it's not like the /explore page (which is fixed in http://

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.
