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?

One of the longest living Google products has just been sent to the company's infamous graveyard. If you kill a product and (almost) no one notices, is it really dead?

Economists have found that prices of retired Lego sets grow by 11% annually, which is higher than the average returns provided by gold and large stocks. Plus, you can scatter them around your bunker for added protection against looters after society's collapse
Not too good against zombies though, sadly.

Lambdas are one of the most popular features of Modern C++. Since their introduction in C++11, they’ve become ubiquitous in C++ code. When do they start walking upright?

The diminutive “Curta” is a striking machine, a mechanical calculator that combines the complexity of a steamship engine and the precision craftsmanship of a fine pocket watch. Not number-crunching, but number-cranking

We had , a barbeque and a dartboard hidden in a closet of the kitchen in a previous company. We had spontaneous dart games after lunch, we stayed after hours and grilled something, made LAN parties in the meeting room (even with the director of the branch location)... there was a really cool working clima, you could hear laughs several times a day...
that were good days... even when my payment was way less than now.
