Solar Eclipse 2026: Heres what North America will see, when it will happen

North America will witness a partial solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, offering a spectacle for those interested in celestial events. This celestial phenomenon will differ from the total solar eclipse visible in parts of Europe. The eclipse will be visible across various regions in North America, including Alaska, Canada, and parts of the northern U.S. The peak viewing times for different regions will vary, with Anchorage, Alaska, experiencing it at 8:21 a.m. ET and Washington, D.C., at around 1:53 p.m. ET.

To safely observe the solar eclipse, it's crucial to use certified eclipse glasses that adhere to the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard. Regular sunglasses and unfiltered optical devices like binoculars or telescopes are not suitable for viewing the Sun. In addition to local viewing opportunities, NASA is providing a livestream of the eclipse on platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, X, Amazon Prime, Facebook, Instagram, and NASA+.

Building an LMS looks simple at the beginning. You need users, classes, payments, attendance, recordings, homework, notifications, and reports. Then you move into production.

Building a production LMS with Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS proved more complex than anticipated.
Proper system design matters more than technology choice.
Avoid treating schema design in MongoDB as optional; use dedicated collections for data growth.

Three checks in our codebase that could not fail

Last night I found three checks in our own codebase that could not fail. Not checks that were failing to catch things. Checks that were structurally incapable of ever going red, while reporting green…

Three code checks in the system are structurally incapable of failing
First check uses verifier with line-for-line copy of the rule it enforces
Second check asserts its own arithmetic, reporting PASS with mismatched assertions

HTTP/2 solves this at application layer with independent streams
HTTP/3 uses QUIC transport-level streams to avoid blocking
