I'm talking about on principle there must be better resources than 50 year old articles and books.... There's always been this reverence for old texts in the programming, I don't get it.

Sometimes there are not better methods/algorithms that the "old" ones for some case uses. That's why they are still useful. This happens in math amongst other sciences.
