What should a native DOM templating API look like?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-23 15:40:57

If you read my previous post, The time is right for a DOM templating API, you might be wondering what such an API would look like. Let's dive into that question now. What are we building? First, let's clarify what we're trying to design here, because when people hear the abstract template API idea described, before there's a concrete proposal or examples, they can sometimes think of very different things. In webcomponents/1069 I propose that we add a "declarative JavaScript templating API"

Can Sensing Be Safe? Designing Privacy-Aware Wireless Systems

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-22 09:12:10

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries The N+1 query problem occurs when your application code sends one SQL query per element in a collection. The N queries are redundant; since all of the data is in the database already, a single query should be enough. This problem is usually caused by a leaky abstraction; the ORM, or whatever database abstraction you are using, can’t anticipate that it would need to send N queries, so it can’t automatically optimize this down to a single query.
