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.
Try it now.

Well, at least he didn't need to implement a B-Tree!

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.

WTF ?

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

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?

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.

AI bragging rights in playing Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. game were supported by the fact that AI played the game using deep learning algorithms against ten highly-ranked players. The AI came out on top against every one of them, said New Scientist. That's one way to stop AI from taking over the world: distract them with Nintendo
But then the Nintendo machines will rise...

It's only because AIs aren't held back by the need of twenty-three fingers to do combo moves.

It is in manager-friendly format, I/e the same obvious thing repeated over and over...

Agile is weapon for project managers and upper management and has precious little to do with actual team management.

Amazon is reporting “high error rates” in one region of its S3 web services, and a number of services going offline because of it. "Brush off the clouds and cheer up"
But yet Amazon itself is fine. Don't they use their cloud services?
