It seems the study confirmed that "pop" music had its height from the late 60s to the early 80s.
(At least, that's my peaceful, easy feeling.)

Microsoft has been betting on a quantum particle called the Majorana fermion to build a working quantum computer. The cat was never in the box

No cat, no litter, no poop, but still smells? So we've been wrong all this time - it's quantum doodoo! 💩

Unit testing exercises each function point in a program to make sure it works. Duh - testing your units (I never use a centimeter until it's been fully tested)

We have a measurement unit called Linear in our product, implemented in 64-bit signed integers, that works very nicely for our application:
1 Linear = 1 µ-inch

Security personnel at Microsoft are seeing a big increase in the use of Web shells, the light-weight programs that hackers install so they can burrow further into compromised websites. Hmph: everyone knows the *real* hackers use the command-line
Or emacs scripts

Much has been covered about developer salaries based on coding language, location, job title, and so on. But little has been done to chart the rise and fall of developer salaries over the years - until now. "There is nothing quite as wonderful as money"

Quote: Are developer wages stagnating?
Looking at the data, we can see that developer salaries are not increasing at the rate they used to. As we head into 2013 through to 2019, the annual mean salary for developers and programmers increased from $92,820 to $106,980, a mere 15% increase compared to the whopping 21% increase experienced in the previous decade.
It's amazing what conclusions you can reach if you can't math. 2013-2019 is 6 years, 2001-2011 is 10 years; all things equal the larger range will have a higher total increase so you can't directly compare the 15 and 21% figures.
Breaking it down to yearly gains which are comparable: 15% in 6 years is a 2.35% yearly raise; 21% in 10 years is only 1.93% more per year. 
Innumerate ![Sunshine | [little ray of sunshine]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sunshine.gif) 's like the author are welcome to ask for pay raises from 10-20 years ago; I'll take more recent rates.
I'll take a wild guess and say the uncaught failure to math was caused by confirmation bias; 20 years ago the author was a junior dev and seeing big yearly raises as she progressed from junior to senior developer and much smaller ones since then due to staying at the same-ish level of ability.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The scientists found that despite dextrous and visual constraints on the animals, pigs were able to both understand and achieve goals in simple computer games. Don't challenge them to a game of pig-pong, or you might get roasted

But they can't talk. That means they're nothing but biological automatons.

1) that's not a big deal... 
2) Or even more...
