google adds the silly "no 3rd party extensions" policy into chrome, disabling all user added extensions, yet crazy adware that turns every other word into a link can still be silently injected
you can even uninstall or change options in them directly from the extensions page
why is this allowed

how can one company be so fail

3rd party extensions are perfectly fine, they just dont let you add in extensions that you download from god knows where

sorry,
i mean extensions not from the chrome store.

And that still doesn't explain why the SuPeRCoUpOn extension could still be installed for you via malware

what the gently caress does it mean to invert a binary tree? a binary tree is not really a special case generic directed graph because the edges are semantically labelled. considering it as one anyway and then inverting the edges erases or changes basically every interesting property of binary trees and disallows the assumed specialized representation

do they mean reversing a binary tree, so that left nodes become right nodes? that is completely trivial and anybody who can't do even a simple recursive solution (perfectly reasonable if it's guaranteed balanced) ought to be ashamed of themselves

maybe turn it upside down so that you have a list of leafs that all end at the head
either way, lol that someone can't do it

how do apple interviews look like

ps: is the position for second coming of steve open

you go in, talk to the hiring manager. she asks if you're a virgin. you move to the white room and do whiteboard problems while 1-2 engineers watch you. they whisper to each other as you fret nervously. If you pass, you get to talk to either director or vp.

yes but stebes ghost also watches you in the room.

the game is not great though
at least from the 15 minutes i played

it's in the vein of tiny tower, airport whatever, etc except with little fallout cartoons and an xcom base

so the only enjoyment i'm getting out of it is the android tears

I certainly hadn't expected him to so candidly explain how Google employees — and especially Google executives — were freaked out by the homeless people outside its walls. So freaked out that he was hired on as part of a beefed up security presence aimed at clearing the public street that bisects Google’s two properties of any homeless presence.

The guard pointed at a Google building on the corner of Hampton Drive and Rose Avenue: "This building right here is for all the engineers. Everyone in there makes over $1 million. They got their own barbershop right there. They take care of them. You can't have all these tents here,"

pretty lols but i wonder if it's not sensationalized to hell.

this is fine. xml offers more than one way to do it, and sometimes people will choose a way you don't like very much.

(it is equally possible to create perverse documents in json or yaml, but you won't even be able to validate the perversity!)

i'd like to see an example of what people think is bad json

quote:

What I love about smartphones — and I think this is a passion that most of us share but are unaware of — is that constant jumping around between devices and priorities. It’s because we are never allowed to have everything in one single device that we treasure and appreciate it when any phone comes close. But the truth is that what we enjoy is the chase, and we wouldn’t really know what to do if we ever achieved the goal of perfection.

why are phones so popular among those anyways. presumably, they don't go out that much so the portability is moot. and build-your-own computers still offer a lot more variety to satiate tendencies of the insane.

phones, you buy and use them. if it sucks, there's not much you can do outside of modified OSes which are declining in popularity even for android.
