‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 100 children reportedly killed in school bombing The building appears to be among many devastated in Trump’s ‘major combat operations’ as long expected attacks arrive

Regardless of your political positions, if you are not disgusted by the US and Israel bombing a school you should prob do a morality check.

(yes, yes, we know that based on Israeli intelligence there were terrorists and nuclear weapons in the basement...)

It's sad to see the US resorting to lies and strategies that so far we had only seen in dictatorships.

This is there for everyone to see:
- Trump, June 2025: "Iran's nuclear threat has been obliterated"
- Trump, February 2026: "Iran was an imminent nuclear threat"

Only one can be true. Pure logic.

I’d be curious about the customer benefit of this feature

Selling baby boy, in perfect esthetical conditions and good working order.

The standby function never worked. Comes with original box but without instructions (we didn't get them either).

Offers in DM.

I'm so tired I just stopped in front of our building's entrance door to let the person on the other side came through first - only to realise such person was my reflection in the glass panel.

...and it's just month three of being a parent.

🧵 Thread on beautiful data centers:

MareNostrum 4 (Barcelona SCC): Often called "the most beautiful data center in the world," this facility is housed inside the Torre Girona Chapel, a deconsecrated 19th-century church.

When fully installed, it will have a peak performance of 13.9 Petaflops.

One year of TV Licensing spam in a new build. They started 13 months before the flat found its first ever owner and 9 months before it even received a council tax band.

The AWS News Feed Keep track of AWS news and blogs. See what's hot, read summaries, search, set bookmarks and ratings, and categorize articles with tags.

I'm sure most of you already know this, but aws-news.com is the absolute necessary companion of each #reInvent.

I use it to quickly skim through every single launch, and use both the unread filter and mark all as read function to make sure I don't miss any.

Two weeks into parenting, honest review: each individual event is less intense than a sev2, the big difference is that you’re always on-call either as primary or secondary. You can’t take time off, ever.

Some stats, for number nerds:

First day in one week not sleeping with the work phone next to my bed - counting this as a win!

Summary of the Amazon DynamoDB Service Disruption in Northern Virginia (US-EAST-1) Region

The Post-Event Summary for this week's event in North Virginia (us-east-1) is now out at: aws.amazon.com/message/1019...

Whether you were impacted or not, I believe it's a valuable read: there are a ton of lessons learned, for us and for the broader industry.

You're making me consider returning the baby to be honest. Do they come with a satisfaction guarantee or some similar sort of warranty?

And more meaningful conversations (with the baby)?

How do a sev1 and a baby rank in terms of difficulty for an engineer?

Been stuck in my mind for 4 days now: this picture was taken in London, UK.

Do defibrillators really run at 110V (requiring a transformer I guess) or did they run out of the right 230V labels?

Problem is - there are a ton of humans I only cross paths with over social, including colleagues

I've this 20 years old slide by Jeff Dean making a point that "fault tolerant software is inevitable" - feels so strange there is still so much resistance today to this extremely simple principle.

There likely isn’t a binary answer on what caused what, though. What is certain is that every generation which gets bombed will perpetuate the hatred. US and Israel basically just signed up for another 80 years of Iran hating the west (or some parts thereof).

I keep looking at these headlines where the head of the pentagon gets debunked by the pentagon word by word and don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

So true. Iran’s leaders hate the western world for no reason and we’re working hard to give them a good one. And wars only result in more extremism.

This thing is so 360 degrees dumb I don’t even know where to start. Just hope the egos which had to be pumped up got effectively pumped up.

The last seven days seem to be more about establishing their position as leaders than about removing a real threat to the world. The result is that the threat is now bigger than it was two week ago.

I really hope, but strongly doubt, Netanyahu/Hegseth/Trump know what they are doing.

It's beyond me why/how most airlines don't allow you to save passenger information in your account, and require giant forms to be filled every time.

Like, it's not that my birth date is gonna change anytime soon.

Our new report: local political parties are renting out office space to MPs — who claim the cost on expenses.

But in most cases, they pay no tax on that income — or on rent from local businesses.

We reviewed 630 sets of accounts. What we found is a systemic failure. 🧵
