I wrote this Format dialog back on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994, I think it was. We were porting the bajillion lines of code from the Windows95 user interface over to NT, and Format was just one of those areas where WindowsNT was different enough from Windows95 that we had to come up with some custom UI. I got out a piece of paper and wrote down all the options and choices you could make with respect to formatting a disk, like filesystem, label, cluster size, compression, encryption, and so on. Then I busted out VC++2.0 and used the Resource Editor to lay out a simple vertical stack of all the choices you had to make, in the approximate order you had to make. It wasn't elegant, but it would do until the elegant UI arrived. That was some 30 years ago, and the dialog is still my temporary one from that Thursday morning, so be careful about checking in "temporary" solutions! I also had to decide how much "cluster slack" would be too much, and that wound up constraining the format size of a FAT volume to 32GB. That limit was also an arbitrary choice that morning, and one that has stuck with us as a permanent side effect. So remember... there are no "temporary" checkins :) Follow me for more random code musings!

Fascinating read. Voyager-2 almost lost contact. Then NASA basically sent an over-the-air software patch to a 45-year-old OS in production mode, 12.4 billion miles away, running low on thermonuclear battery. After lots of prayers, “we are so back”. This is some next-level extreme software engineering. wired.com/story/how-nasa…

Informatik als Pflichtfach!? Eine kurze Historie 🧵

Untersuche das Ende der Welt als Ringo: Agentin von Aion. Sie soll die Menschheit vor einer Apokalypse bewahren. Bestelle das Spiel jetzt vor und tauche ein in diese mysteriöse Sci-Fi-Welt von ATLUS. Sei von Anfang an dabei!

Nach 19 Jahren bin ich kein Chefredakteur von @netzpolitik_org mehr. In der Zeit hat sich NP von einem aktivistischen Hobby-Projekt zu einer 17-köpfigen Redaktion mit internationalem journalistischem Renomee und mit einem Spendenvolumen von 1 Million Euro entwickelt.

So, I now have full remote control of over 20 Tesla’s in 10 countries and there seems to be no way to find the owners and report it to them…

A few hours ago, a promising token called $YEAR was airdropped. It was set up as a "year in review" of your Ethereum transaction history. Less than an hour ago, this turned into a painful experience for buyers of the token. Here's how $YEAR pulled the rug in under 6 hours🧵 1/

Die größte Lüge der LED-Industrie: warmweiß

Did you know that a normal LED can also receive light? 🚨 It can! In this paper, we point a laser at build-in LEDs of offices devices and transmit data to their firmware. This covert communication can bridge 25m with a throughput of 128 kbps. intellisec.de/pubs/2021-acsa… 1/3

Ich habe fachfremd je 1 Std. Informatik bei 2 6. Klassen in den Stundenplan gepackt bekommen. Vermutlich, weil ich beim Auswahlgespräch sagte, ich wäre an einem Zertifikatskurs interessiert. Den ZK hab ich nicht bekommen, aber die Klassen. K.A. wo ich starten soll. #twlz
