Abstract: Functionality is disclosed for automated deployment of applications. A network-based deployment service provides functionality for deploying software components to physical or virtual hosts in a service provider network and/or to hosts in other types of networks external to the service provider network. A user of the deployment service creates an application revision that includes deployable content and an application specification defining how the application is to be deployed and one or more lifecycle events. The application revision is then uploaded to a storage service, source code repository, or other location. A deployment configuration is also created that defines the location of the application revision, a deployment group, and a schedule for the deployment. A deployment agent executing on hosts in the deployment group obtains the application revision from the specified location, deploys the deployable content according to the schedule, and performs the lifecycle events.

Abstract: A computer implemented tool and method for assisting users of earphones with selecting an earbud that will provide the best fit for the user. The tool collects image data of the user's ear, along with fit data associated with the user's experience (for example, comfort and/or stability data). The tool further includes a database of ear data and associated objective/subjective data that is utilized to calculate a fit value representative of the quality of fit based on the image data and the fit criteria data generated by the user. The tool will output at least one of an indication of fit level of the earphone in the user's ear based on the fit value, and a recommendation to the user for altering the selected earphone to improve fit of the earphone within the user's ear based on the fit value.

Abstract: Implementations relate to executing a tailored version of a dynamic interactive dialog application, where the tailored version is tailored based on structured content that is specified by a creator of the tailored version. Executing the tailored version of the interactive dialog application can be in response to receiving, via an assistant interface of an assistant application, an invocation phrase assigned to the tailored version and/or other user interface input that identifies the tailored version. In some implementations, a tailored version of a dynamic interactive dialog application is executed with persona value(s) that are specified by a creator of the tailored version and/or that are predicted based on structured content and/or other input provided by the creator in creating the tailored version. In some implementations, structured content and/or other input provided by a creator in creating a tailored version of an interactive dialog application is utilized in indexing the tailored version.

Abstract: Particular embodiments detect an indication of an event that is initiated on an online social network by a user and that is related to an entity associated with an activity that the user has engaged in. Based on the received indication, a social-networking system sends the user a request for follow-up information about the activity. After the follow-up information is received, the social-networking system retrieves contacts of the user and identifies contacts that have engaged in social activities on the online social network related to the entity. Recommendations for the entity are then sent to those identified contacts.

Abstract: A system and method for efficiently performing maintenance on a cache. In various embodiments, control logic in a cache controller or elsewhere receives an indication for invalidating a range of virtual-to-physical mappings in a given translation lookaside buffer (TLB). The logic determines a first latency to invalidate entries of the TLB based on a number of addresses in the range and a number of supported page sizes simultaneously stored in the TLB. The logic determines a second latency based on a number of entries in the TLB. If the first latency is greater, then the logic traverses through each TLB entry and invalidates TLB entries storing a virtual address within the range. If the first latency is smaller, then the logic traverses through each address in the range and invalidates TLB entries storing a virtual address within the range.
