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?

About a year ago, Microsoft introduced a new prompt inside Windows 11 system settings that would remind users who were running Windows 11 on unsupported systems. The TPM chip now needs the new coversheets

I have been earning my living as a programmer since 1980. Until last year I had never used profanity in my source code, despite countless provocations. It always seemed unprofessional.
I've acquired responsibility for a piece of code originally developed by an @#$%!@@ who deliberately coded it such that he was the only person able to maintain it. He retired in a huff and then died a few years ago. Last year we had to make a change to this POS because of some hardware going obsolete. I spent roughly 100 hours going through the code, identifying every location that was affected by the change. I wrote, debugged, and regression-tested the change in just under 4 hours.
One of my comments in the source code was the following:
