Using stimuli-responsive materials and geometric principles, engineers have designed structures that have 'embodied logic.' Through their physical and chemical makeup alone, they are able to determine which of multiple possible responses to make in response to their environment. I, for one, welcome our new embodied logic overlords

Hang on, I don't...
... Help me out here.
Does this mean that if the 3D printer runs out of wire, it will use disembodied logic?

Microsoft is making some big changes to Cortana in Windows 10. The software giant is planning to decouple search and Cortana in the Windows 10 taskbar, allowing voice queries to be handled separately to typing in a search box to find documents and files. Hey Cortana: time to find a new job

I'd rather Cortana join Clippy in the vastness of hell.

Attributes have been part of .NET since the beginning. As such, they were created before generics were introduced and never quite caught up. [Attribute]?

What I hate about generics is that they prove all those wonderful 1950s Sci-fi movies to be wrong.

Undoubtedly, your company uses open source software. But the powers that be might express reluctance when developers want to create or maintain projects on company time. Here is a roadmap to help you convince them otherwise—starting with an internal open source project office. Here's a hint: you get to do what you love doing

A biology experiment on board China’s recent Moon lander has sprouted tiny cotton plants, marking the first time that humans have grown plants on the lunar surface, Xinhua reports. One small stem for a moon, one giant leaf for mankind

Cotton?
Who'll need cotton on the moon?
Not I, that's for sure.
They should plant hops and barley, and anything else that can be used to make beer!

In four years’ time, C will reach its 50th birthday, an anniversary also shared with PL/M and Prolog. Unlike those two, C remains immensely popular, it’s in the top ten of virtually every programming language popularity survey. Oh, say - do you C?

Dice insights is once again showing great insight -- this time in how to use a calendar.
"In four years time". Sheesh!
Why didn't they write an article on this three years, seven months, and nine days ago? It would have been just as relevant as news then as it is now.

Spreadsheets are the world’s most widely used programming language, by several orders of magnitude. We asked ourselves whether it would be possible to apply programming language research ideas to make spreadsheets a better programming language? If we could, that would empower a huge user community to do more. Does this mean we'll be able to put VBA to bed?
PLEASE?!?!?!

If someone opens a discussion by calling a spreadsheet a programming language, you just know that you're talking to someone who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.
It's time for open-source office apps to start heavy advertising campaigns, because when ms makes spreadsheet formula constructors incomprehensible, less efficient, harder to create, and comparatively crippled, compared to what people have been used to using for the last 20 years, plenty of people will start looking for alternative apps.
