technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2026-02-16 23:10:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET If you use a Linux distribution based on Debian or Ubuntu, the upgrade path is almost always painless. I've had maybe one Ubuntu upgrade in over a decade that had problems, and even that was a fairly straightforward fix. But not all Linux distributions are created equal, and some are more challenging than others. Some distributions even make the upgrade process more difficult, and a few give users fair warning about why it's important to stay informed

Abstraction boundaries are optimization boundaries

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-17 00:12:10

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.
