‘American Empire? What American Empire?’ You Can Ask With This Reagan-Adjacent Stormtrooper Helmet

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-08-28 06:30:33

To be a kid in the 1980s meant absorbing the last years of the Cold War through pop culture that played into fears about a World War III everyone assumed was coming—think WarGames, Red Dawn, and “99 Luftballoons.” Somehow that script got flipped when President Ronald Reagan announced the “Strategic Defense Initiative,” a system intended to protect the U.S. from missiles that quickly acquired its own pop culture nickname: “Star Wars.” While Reagan’s Star Wars never actually got off the ground, i

It’s troubling, especially for Empire, the genetic dynasty of clones named Cleon that’s been in power for centuries, but it’s not as bad as all-out extinction. But as season three begins, certain among Foundation‘s characters learn the math has changed, and total doomsday is all but certain. Some react to this news—signaled by worrisome chang

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-27 04:12:10

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.
