Reminder: there is NO such thing as “90% totality,” “95% totality” or “99% totality.” It’s either a yes or no thing — a binary. The experience is completely different. Even a half mile away, you won’t experience sudden nightfall, the magical 360° sunrise or the solar corona.

@sulemain Thanks!

@davepl1968 @techsamurai Thought this was amusing!

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!

PLEASE – go to the totality zone on April 8. On the left, a 99% eclipse. On the right, a total. You can't take your glasses off even at 99%. Night doesn't fall. The corona doesn't appear. No 360º sunrise. Going the extra mile WILL change your perspective on the universe.

@theatonphoto Sadly, it is not. But I guess it all depends on who you follow.

I was perplexed when a creator I follow kept referring to Twitter as 'X'. I thought he was trying to avoid YouTube censorship. I asked my wife if she knew what was going on. One thing led to another & 3yrs later I'm back on twitter. I hope it's better now than the cesspit of old.

@jeffcannata The music was seriously in my head when I opened Twitter and saw your tweet.

@davechensky How do you think the image compares to your other cameras?

@davechensky @mixtiles That is disappointing…great photo though!

@jeffcannata Coherence was great, thanks for discussing it on the podcast. #thefilmcast #slashtag @thefilmcastpod

@forallmankind_ continues to have the best season finales of any show. Why are more people not watching this show? #ForAllMankind #AppleTV

@DannyTRS great work again! Subscribed to @hulu just to watch #PreyMovie and it was even better than I expected. I have been a fan since TRS and have been blown away by your directing career. Congrats on another hit!

Pretty cool to see an “old guy” like Al Horford playing big in the finals. Pretty depressing to realize I am soo much older than him. #NBAFinals #alhorford

@jeffcannata Sorry to hear it get well soon and hope your family stays healthy.

Like who idea was this!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@patrickklepek Play it in VR….
