Paul Taylor/Getty When I was a kid, my home lab consisted of test tubes and beakers, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), acetic acid (vinegar), and the occasional boom, followed closely by the sound of my mom in the distance yelling, "David Allen Gewirtz, you stop that right now."

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

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-06 10:30:33

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

Google’s data center energy use doubled in four years

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-06 11:52:39

No wonder Google is desperate for more power: the company’s data centers more than doubled their electricity use in just four years. The eye-popping stat comes from Google’s most recent sustainability report, which it released late last week. In 2024, Google data centers used 30.8 million megawatt-hours of electricity. That’s up from 14.4 million megawatt-hours in 2020, the earliest year Google broke out data center consumption. Google has pledged to use only carbon-free sources of electricity

Jay Dickman/Getty Images I remember when I started using Linux in the late 1990s. Back then, using the command line wasn't optional. If you worked with the open-source operating system, you had to spend time in the terminal. Using the command line in the past was challenging because there wasn't as much help as today. I was pretty much on my own. Thankfully, I struggled through and became proficient. With the help of man pages (manual pages for commands), I survived those early days. Of course

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-05 08:12:10

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.
