With this release, which brings the volume of its open data to more than 2 PB (or two million GB), CMS has now provided open access to 100% of its research data recorded in proton-proton collisions in 2010, in line with the collaboration’s data-release policy. Find your own particles!

Great idea!
Let's feed thousands of random, home-grown AIs with data that they can use to find ways to destroy the universe!

Object-oriented programming: Some developers love it — but some hate it. "It is dangerous to make predictions, especially in a discipline that changes so rapidly, but one thing I can say with confidence is that I have seen the future, and it is object-oriented."

Required adjustments implemented.

There seem to be two prevailing views on this:
0) OOP is the way to do absolutely everything.
1) FP is the way to do absolutely everything.
I'm going to propose a "third way":
OOP is best for some projects and FP is best for others.
The "trillion dollar mistake" was not OOP per se but the notion that one size somehow fits all whatever the nature of your application. It's a mistake that many seem to be hell-bent on replicating with FP.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. - Mark Twain

OOP done right is good. The problem is that we have new devs that don't do oop right, and nobody calls them out on it, because "everybody is a winner".

Perhaps because:
- Everyone claims to be doing OOP
- Very few are actually doing OOP
- The few who are doing it, are doing it wrong
Kinda like teenage sex...

Those dang kids should just be passing messages and maintaining their own state?

As usual, I find myself agreeing with your insights; may I propose one more point:
4. There is no consensus about how to do OOP right because there was never a rigorous definition of what OOP is.

It's more than hating on OOP, it's also hating on basic programming concepts. To paraphrase, those who know, do, those who don't, write articles and bitch about those who know.

Bingo.

I think the ratio of ignorant doers to ignorant writers is probably equal.

Several Battlebots videos were taken down in the least few days, with YouTube citing animal cruelty policies. People for the Ethical Treatment of extreme Robots (PETR) strikes again!
I guess their AI was really taking it personally
|
|
|
|

It's just attention seeking (probably sponsored by Robot Wars, or similar).
If they truly cared about animal welfare, they'd take down everything to do with every flavour of pokemon.

In the EU, that falls firmly in the camp of "that will take more time to intelligently consent to cookie use than actually read the article". People really need to start stream-lining this.

OK, when a Dutch guy starts talking about eating, I just switch off.
Using the Netherlands as part of a weight-loss program is highly recommended, because nothing here is worth the trouble of eating.

Not even stroopwafel?? I used to get regular shipments from my girl friend's son when he worked in Amsterdam.

I'll grant you stroopwaffels and snert, but man cannot live on those alone!
Before you consider moving here, bear in mind that they don't even have bacon as the rest of the world knows it. And there's no legal way of having it shipped in for personal use.

There, I must disagree.
