What team were you on? It looks like you had an awesome time! I'm interning at Facebook Seattle next Fall, and I'm trying to figure out which team(s) to try to join.
For how long and how often would you recommend we 'stop eating once in a while'? Or do you have resources that recommend what would be a beneficial amount of fasting?
Just wondering what steps I could take to be healthier, as I've never even considered fasting in the past. Thanks!
I'm very impressed with the number of products and services supported so far. It has everything from bookmarks to location history. It even lets you choose the format for some products, and Drive in particular has some nice options. I'm glad to see Google opening this tool up.
There's actually a useful Zapier script that already does this [0]. I remember reading about it on Mike Knoop's (Zapier cofounder) blog [1]. I haven't tried it out but you should be able to hook it up to any of the alert services that Zapier integrates with. (Which is a lot!)
Zapier (YC S12) did something similar to determine demand for their initial product. I heard Bryan Helmig (co-founder) give a great talk on the subject, and it seemed to work very well for them:
Udacity CS101 [1] also goes through the basics of building a web crawler. It's a lot more lightweight (no backend, etc), but it's a fun overview and can be completed pretty quickly.
That's a really good point. I just use hangouts for personal communication, but as a company chat system it does seem pretty necessary to know someone's status. Hopefully it'll be added soon!
Honestly, I've had the opposite experience. The lack of online status certainly hasn't been missed, as I've been using hangouts to completely replace SMS. It's way more convenient. With the Chrome extension, I have all of my messages without ever having to have a certain website or even Chrome open. Maybe I've gotten really lucky, but I haven't run into any of those other problems. The only feature I'm waiting/hoping for is for it to be seamlessly integrated with SMS.
Here's a link to the VerbalExpressions organization that contains implementations of a similar DSL for various languages: https://github.com/verbalexpressions
I'm very glad to see that this answer hasn't been closed as not constructive! It seems like most popular questions like this are, even though they're incredibly useful and insightful.
I was leaning toward learning Ember, but this post makes me really curious about Angular. In particular, the ease of testing has my interest piqued. Is testing as simple/easy with Ember? I know that unlike Angular, Ember doesn't have DI as a core feature. Either way, I should probably just flip a coin and start learning!
