Utilities to let you easily reach frequently visited but deeply nested directories.
# Utilities for quickly accessing frequently used directories in bash.
# Usage:
# $ cd /path/to/project/src/
# $ mark code # Will create a new shortcut.
# # Becomes interactive if a shortcut already exists
# # m is an alias for mark. You can also `m code`
#
# $ code # From now on, running this anywhere in the shell
# # will put you in /path/to/project/src/code

Latency numbers every programmer should know

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs
