TL;DR 095 — January 19, 2018

Actions on Google

Actions on Google has a new directory, more device availability, and more control of your home with smart home control. Details and links are on the post.

PageSpeed Insights

PageSpeed Insights provides information about how well a page adheres to a set of best practices. And it now uses data from the Chrome User Experience Report to make better recommendations for you and the optimization score has been tuned to be more aligned with the real-world data.

Apps Script

There are three new tools to help further improve your workflows and manage Apps Script projects: the Apps Script dashboard, Apps Script API, and Apps Script Command Line Interface. Screenshots and more are on the post.

The Google Brain Team

The Google Brain team works to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence with research and systems engineering, as one part of the overall Google AI effort. Check out these two posts (part 1, part 2) for some highlights of their work in 2017 including some of the basic research work, updates on open source software, datasets, new hardware for machine learning, healthcare, robotics, and more.

Unit Tests for Docker Images

The Container Structure Test framework provides a convenient and powerful way to verify the contents and structure of your containers. We’ve been using this framework at Google to test all of our team’s released containers for over a year now, and we’re excited to finally share it with you. You can get started with the details on the post.
