For our IT Residency Program, we don't require it, but if you have a CS background, you might get asked about it. Maybe automate a simple task and maybe some discussion on optimization. The interviews tend to be customized to the candi

We actually expect our support team (at least portions of them) to build internal apps that automate workflows for ops work or for users. It's not always as complex as a full soft eng role, but some of our IT staff do move on to those

We based this on our internal training for our IT hires based on the gaps we found when we onboarded people over the last 7 years. We invested a lot in making the material practical and lab driven vs just rote memorization. Disclosure: I wo

Work at Google but not remotely on calendar, and this is exactly what we do with most public, bookable resources. We have PA systems, massage chairs, rooms, etc. all in calendar.

If you're going to compare to a Mac, it's better to look at the higher end Chromebooks like the Pixel 2, HP Chromebook 13, and Samsung Chromebook Pro. They all have screens with pixel density and quality that's on par with th

But that's how permissions work on Android though. You can grant them to an app when it's requested, or not. Or you can turn it off at the system level with the bug switch in the settings shade. I have an iPad and the permissions

For SSDs, it's easier to ensure that the drive you're buying implements encryption at the controller level because then the secure erase option happens nearly instantaneously. Just look for AES-256 in the drive specs. It happens s

That network connection is using cellular, so at most it's an LTE connection but if I remember right, is actually just 3G. I can't believe they are pushing the kind of data people are talking about over that kind of connection.

Just want to call out that Tesla's videos seem to be a bit misleading. If you watch them closely, you can see they've made edits when switching from one camera angle to another. If you know the roads they are driving on, you can s

But can they actually send all that data back to their data centers? If they are really capturing that much data, they would need to send it back using consumer home internet connections which doesn't seem realistic. I don't think

Also, how much of that data can you realistically send back to yourself? With Waymo they can pull the arrays from the cars nightly if they need to. Tesla, on the other hand, has to send the data back over a customers network connection whic

That demonstration video is very deceiving. There are many times where they switch camera angles and the car has driven some distance that isn't shown. They used clever editing to make it feel like it was 100% autopilot but if you know
