📌 Past Perfect مثل یه git commitیه که قبل از آخرین تغییر انجام شده. یعنی یه کاری قبل از یه اتفاق دیگه در گذشته کامل شده. ساختارش مثل یه دستور سادهست:
had + past participle
مثلاً:
The server had crashed before Lucy checked the logs.
(یعنی اول سرور ترکیده، بعد لوسی لاگها رو چک کرده.)
✅ فایدهاش؟ کمک میکنه تایملاینِ اتفاقات گذشته رو تمیز و منطقی نگه داری — دقیقاً مثل رد کردن باگ توی تاریخچهی پروژه.

"The Mighty Cursor: Small but Powerful"
Every programmer sees it every day — that tiny blinking line on the screen. It looks quiet, but it’s one of the most important tools in the coding world. The cursor shows where your next action will happen: a new word, a piece of code, or an unexpected bug!
In the early days of computing, the cursor was simple. It had just blinked on black screens, showing where text would appear. Programmers had used it to type long commands carefully, sometimes hours without mistakes. A wrong line could stop the whole system!
Today, the cursor lives inside every smart IDE and text editor. It can move fast, copy, paste, and even become multi‑cursor, editing several lines at the same time. Many developers say that the multi‑cursor tool has changed the way they code. It saves minutes, which later become hours — and every hour counts when deadlines are close.
The cursor may look small, but without it, programming would feel impossible. It’s like a bridge between human thought and machine logic. So next time it blinks, think about this: the first line of your next great project will begin exactly where that tiny hero stands — waiting for your next key.

"OVH Data Center Fire in France"
On March 10, 2021, a serious network outage hit Europe after a fire destroyed part of OVHcloud’s data center in Strasbourg, France.
Engineers found that a circuit board in the power system had failed, starting the blaze and cutting services for thousands of websites.
Before the fire, the team had tested their failover procedure, which allowed several companies to move their data to backup servers within hours.
Others weren’t so lucky—some sites stayed offline for days.
The company later said it truly dodged a bullet, because although the fire caused massive damage, no employees were hurt and most critical systems were eventually restored.
Experts noted that the event changed how European firms think about backup strategy and redundancy.
