Securely erase an external disk using dd on OSX

1. Plug in your SD card, HDD, or other block device and then use the following command to see which /dev/diskN node it's located on:

diskutil list

2. Unmount the disk where “N� is the number of the disk taken from the above command:

<script>
function lalaj() {
  var out = document.querySelector("pre");
  var a = new OfflineAudioContext(1, 44100, 44100);
  var b = a.createBuffer(1, 44100, 44100);
  var g = a.createGain();
  var bb = b.getChannelData(0);
  for (var i = 0; i < bb.length; i++) {
    bb[i] = 1.0;
  }

Styling native elements

Native HTML controls are a challenge to style. You can style any element in the web platform that uses Shadow DOM with a pseudo element ::pseudo-element or the /deep/ path selector.

video::webkit-media-controls-timeline {
  background-color: lime;
}

video /deep/ input[type=range] {

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns                     on recent CPU
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns                     14x L1 cache
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns                     20x L2 cache, 200x L1 cache
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 4X memory

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.
