@Sanjanaopxe It is really sad to see the misery of students due to irresponsible behaviour of the CBSE @cbseindia29 under the ABLE Supervision of the great Education Minister @dpradhanbjp.
Why should the students suffer due to the indifference of the CBSE?

Their names were Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta.

They were from Madhya Pradesh. They worked in Pune.

On the night of May 19 2024 they were riding a motorcycle in Kalyani Nagar when a Porsche Taycan hit them at high speed. Both died.

The driver was 17 years old. His name was Vedant Agarwal. His father Vishal Agarwal is one of Pune’s wealthiest builders.

He had spent the evening at a restaurant in Koregaon Park celebrating his Class 12 board exam results.

The restaurant served the group of minors alcohol until midnight. He paid Rs 48,000 for the drinks using his grandfather’s credit card.

He was drunk when he got behind the wheel of an unregistered Porsche worth over Rs 2.4 crore.

The initial order from a juvenile court asked him to write a 300 word essay on road accidents.

The country was furious.

His father Vishal Agarwal was arrested for attempting to obstruct justice.

His grandfather and two doctors were arrested for allegedly attempting to swap the juvenile’s blood sample at a hospital to conceal evidence of alcohol consumption.

The restaurant that served alcohol to minors was investigated. Police officers who handled the initial case were suspended.

The juvenile was eventually sent to a remand home.

Vishal Agarwal spent 22 months in jail before the Supreme Court granted him bail in March 2026.

Aneesh Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta were cremated in Madhya Pradesh.

Their families are still waiting for the trial to conclude.

A 17 year old in an unregistered luxury car killed two working people on a night out.

His family spent months trying to make it go away.

Repost this. Some stories must not be allowed to disappear.

We built a database system on S3 Express, and I wrote a book about latency, so let me comment on some of the technical details.

When we talk about write latency in a database system, the limiting factor is typically the time to commit to durable storage. If you are using object storage as your backing store, you have two options for the write path, depending on your durability model. The first option is to write to the object store asynchronously, which means object storage is irrelevant to your write latency, and therefore, uninteresting when comparing S3 Express and NVMe latency.

The second option, which is what we actually do, is that you write to S3 Express synchronously, and now your commit latency is bound by it. In other words, when a commit needs to become durable, we perform a PUT request on S3 Express as a replacement for a `fsync()` call on NVMe. In other words, if the PUT request succeeds, your commit is now durable on S3 Express, just like with `fsync()`, it's durable on disk. (Of course, you often want replication to multiple disks, but you can parallelize that, and it does not change the scenario very much.)

In this scenario, we can meaningfully compare NVMe and S3 Express latency: NVMe has up to 100x lower latency because enterprise-grade NVMe latency is in the tens of microseconds, whereas S3 Express latency is in the single-digit millisecond range. Of course, depending on your database architecture, you may also see additional latency from networking, but there is no scenario where object storage has lower latency than NVMe.

Of course, there are many other advantages to building on top of object storage. For example, high availability, elastic storage scaling, cost-efficiency, and, in my opinion, competitive latency for many use cases. But we're talking about just pure write latency; S3 Express is clearly not faster than NVMe.

At what point did the @MumbaiPolice @MTPHereToHelp literally reach a point where they simply don’t give a damn?!?

Utter carnage on Mumbai streets
People driving on the wrong side of the streets like it’s their birthright

Two wheelers literally not caring about traffic lights like they’re in a video game wt multiple lives

Total mayhem

Have u guys simply lost control or simply don’t care anymore?
Can’t u seriously enforce traffic rules or is that expecting way too much?

This will blow your mind 🤯

Tribals in Madhya Pradesh are holding unique ‘Chitra Protest’ against BJP Govt for stealing their homes & forests

They are covering themselves in mud, holding hunger strike & acting like dead bodies for past 11 days

Their only demands — Land in return of land & proper rehabilitation

They have been living on the same land for 2000 years and suddenly they lost all rights? Really?

You won’t find Indians confronting and shaming men for peeing, pooping, cat calling or sexually assaulting women in public.

His name was Amit Jethwa.

He was 35 years old. From Khambha village in Amreli, Gujarat.

He grew up near the Gir forest. The only place on earth where Asiatic lions still survive in the wild. He gave his life protecting it.

Most people do not know this. He was one of the key activists whose eight-year pursuit led to Salman Khan's conviction for poaching a Chinkara deer inside Gir.

From 2008, he filed six RTI applications exposing an illegal mining lobby operating inside protected areas around Gir. He named a sitting Member of Parliament, Dinu Solanki, in his filings. He filed a Public Interest Litigation in the Gujarat High Court.

On July 20 2010, he came to the High Court to file one final affidavit. It stated his life was in danger from Dinu Solanki.

He filed it. He walked out of the Satyamev Complex at 8:30 PM.

Two men on a motorcycle shot him at close range. Even after being hit, he grabbed the kurta of one attacker. The kurta had a laundry tag. The tag led to Junagadh.

A police vehicle was parked outside. Two officers heard the shot. They did not pursue the killers.

He was killed outside the gates of the very court he had come to seek protection from.

Gujarat Police gave the MP a clean chit. The Gujarat High Court called the investigation far from fair and transferred the case to the CBI in 2012.

In 2019, the CBI court convicted Dinu Solanki and six others. Life imprisonment.

In May 2024, the Gujarat High Court acquitted all seven.

The court said the investigation was a clear eyewash from the beginning. All efforts were made to ensure the truth is buried forever. It quoted Satyamev Jayate. Truth must triumph. Then it let everyone go free.

Amit Jethwa's father, Bhikhabhai, is 80 years old. He is still fighting.

No one has been punished for his son's murder.

Code with fewer lines is not always simple code.

Fewer lines of code often indicate an abstraction.

Abstractions are not inherently simple; they create the illusion of simplicity.

They don’t remove complexity—they hide it.

This hidden complexity can cause engineers to lower their guard.

Eventually, abstractions leak this complexity to end users in unexpected ways:

Often in the form of performance issues, latency, or high CPU and memory usage.

Deep down, we know this.

Wrap a large block of code in a function call, and the client code appears simple.
But we know it’s not.

Put that function in a library and ship it.
Now, only you know the true nature of the code.
The developers using it don’t.

Those devs build more software and libraries on top of it, creating further illusions of simplicity.

The same applies to frameworks, client libraries, APIs or even languages.

The best performance comes from fully understanding the intricacies and complexities of a system—
And tuning them to your specific use case.

Abstractions are most powerful when we understand what lies behind them.

Use them, but never let your guard down.

Infrastructure in Maharashtra in recent years has become such a giant scam that when we look back - we will wonder how such a monumental fraud even happened.

The only reason it’s not assessed currently is because people are just happy that infra is being built.

Having launched an illegal, destructive war that brutally struck the entire planet’s economy (and confirmed once again Europe’s combination of irrelevance and hypocrisy), and after threatening Iran with genocide and "civilisational annihilation," President Trump ultimately backed down on everything.

Like a Roman Emperor during the Roman Empire’s declining years would declare victory and stage triumphs in Rome following massive defeats of his legions at the hands of Gothic warriors, so now does this modern American Nero struggles to convince us that he ‘won’. In reality, Iran now decides which vessels pass through the Straits of Hormuz and, for the first time, charge them tolls for so doing!

The demands of the White House, which Mr. Trump had set as prerequisites for stopping the bombings, have bitten the dust. The surrender of Iran’s enriched uranium, the demand for the destruction of Iran's missiles, the vain hopes for regime change, the designs on Iranian oil – all of these goals were forgotten. What has not been forgotten, and will not be forgotten, are the 180 schoolgirls that the US murdered on the first day of their attack by striking their school – along with the thousands of other killed and maimed civilians.

Lest the world be overtaken by a false sense of relief, it is crucial to brace ourselves for the long-lasting economic repercussions of Trump’s idiotic war. Make no mistake: the shockwaves of economic hardship caused by the US attack on Iran may wane but it will not be averted. The wave of soaring prices, the blow to employment, the increase in interest rates and foreclosures will not disappear with this ceasefire. On the contrary, because of the oligarchic cartels that also see this crisis as an opportunity, it will take political pressure by the many on the very few to reverse the negative consequences of this criminal war, as well as all the various crises that preceded it.
