Shame it looks like a disabled horse with a box on it's head 
This is not the 21st century I imagined as a kid!
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

Pretty far off I think.. there just doesn't seem to be that spark of inventiveness or thirst to reach some far off goal that there used to be. It's almost like we've got comfortable with what we've got (when was the last time you saw a truly original movie, for example?).
I guess there was a lot of progress in the 20th century, and we can't expect every century to be like that.

Considering that there is still more than 80% of the century to go...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I wanted to answer you with a joke about "Queen" and one of their songs, but it was going to be too last century for you...

Quote: when was the last time you saw a truly original movie, for example?
Arrival was a fairly original movie.
I thought it was very good, the aliens were scary but didn't want to take over the planet; they didn't blow up the Whitehouse (or anything at all for that matter); they actually did come in peace and wanted our help (in 3,000 years so no pressure really).
It was confirmed good by not winning any Oscars except sound editing (the aliens didn't "bleep or bloop" even once).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I enjoyed it, but the story was quite similar to Close Encounters

Celestine Omin was accustomed to tackling tough engineering problems. Just not the two that the border agent had put in front of his face — or at least not now, after having spent 24 hours cramped in an economy seat on Qatar Airways. Man, those whiteboard tests are getting out of hand

No link?
Is it a test? Do we have to edit the page source?

Odd. I see a link there. Maybe it's some LinkedIn nonsense. I'll switch it over to re/code.

Yeah, I was going to post that a couple of weeks back, but I decided not to. Now that it seems to be a broader event, I figured I couldn't ignore it.
Time to brush up on my CompSci 100 stuff. I might go down there soon.

God bless the US security forces, protecting people from bad code!
Actually, "security forces" sounds a bit harsh: too militaristic and nasty.
Let's use a softer term that suits them better, and shows that they're there to help people.
How about Security Services?

Should've just asked him where he stands on tabs v spaces and gauged the level of vitriol.

So what do they do with proctologists? Do a reverse-probe?

the 28-year-old software engineer had left his home in Lagos, Nigeria
The border agent probably wanted to know why his $10,000,000 of unclaimed inheritance money hadn't been deposited into his bank account.

I have to wonder what they ask a proctologist to test their knowledge?

The border agent's skills are being seriously underused:
Either he knows how to balance a b-tree himself and should be a developer,
or he can ask a technical question to which he does not know the answer and should be a project manager.
