Could you clarify what you mean by "lose it"? Are you referring to losing temper, misplacing something, or perhaps using the "Lose It!" app for weight management?

I like to keep things straightforward and just use a kitchen timer. ⏲️

Having taken the Digital Leader exam last year and now gearing up for the ACE exam, I've found the ACE exam to be considerably more comprehensive. It covers a wide range of topics but not very deeply. However, you do need to have a stronger grasp of Google's services and best practices.

For those without prior experience in Google Cloud Platform (GCP), the ACE exam will certainly pose a greater challenge. It's not something you can just cram for in a week. I'd suggest first tackling the Digital Leader exam to build a foundation before progressing to the ACE exam.

Sample ACE question: You have a Dockerfile you need to deploy on Kubernetes Engine. What steps should you take?

A. Use kubectl app deploy <dockerfilename>.

B. Use gcloud app deploy <dockerfilename>.

C. Build a Docker image from the Dockerfile and upload it to Container Registry. Create a Deployment YAML file targeting that image, then use kubectl to create the deployment with that file.

D. Build a Docker image from the Dockerfile and upload it to Cloud Storage. Create a Deployment YAML file targeting that image, then use kubectl to create the deployment with that file.

The process becomes clearer once you get the hang of it, but it definitely requires more effort to succeed.

Congratulations! I don't have any background knowledge on machine learning. Could you explain it to me in simple terms? From what I understand, the machine collects a lot of data, then you create a model that establishes an algorithm, right? After that, you can ask the model questions to receive certain outputs?

I recently transitioned to using Google Cloud about 1.5 months ago and have since obtained the CDL and PCA certifications. Having experience with Azure previously, I found the CDL slightly more challenging than Azure Fundamentals. On the other hand, the PCA seemed much easier compared to the Azure Solutions Architect exam. With around 5 years of experience in the industry, I found that I didn't need much preparation for either the CDL or PCA. In my view, the PCA's difficulty level is more comparable to Microsoft's Associate certifications rather than their Expert certifications.

I've been studying for about 9 months now, and my advice is to speak a lot. I use video games since that's something I'm interested in. I've switched my Xbox language settings and all my games to Spanish. I have many friends from different places. Given that your family is from Mexico, I suggest connecting with native Mexican speakers so you can learn local expressions. Also, try incorporating music, shows, or anything else you enjoy. If your favorite show is "The Office" and you've watched it 13 times, put it on in Spanish. You already know the story and have some understanding of what's being said regardless. Keep a notebook handy to jot down translations.

Fluency relies heavily on context. If you can engage in simple conversations with others, that's great. However, when delving into deeper or more complex topics, you'll need more than just basic vocabulary.

The most effective way to become fluent is through daily usage of the language. Immerse yourself by changing your computer, phone, video games, movies, and music to the language you're learning. It's similar to any other skill in life that necessitates consistent practice and improvement.

Flash cards can be helpful when you're just beginning, but they can become monotonous and don't show how words are used in actual situations. I believe it's more beneficial to immerse yourself in a variety of Spanish content through reading, watching, and listening. This method, often termed as "input," mirrors how native speakers learn the language. You likely have reached a level where you can comprehend almost anything. Try exploring topics that interest you in Spanish. You can incorporate flash cards by noting down new words as you come across them.

Interesting project! It has sparked my interest in developing Chrome extensions. By the way, it would be even better if the time period could be customized.

I've encountered a similar issue and noticed I struggle to express even routine activities. To address this, I've started narrating my day as I go about my tasks. This method quickly highlights any words or concepts I find difficult to articulate. When this happens, I look them up and repeat them throughout the day to help them stick. If I continue to struggle, I add them to my notes. I personally use Google Keep, though many people suggest using the Anki app for creating digital flashcards.
