# You might want to change the below to ui = TTY.TTYUI the first time you run offlineimap
# It can choke on large attachments and GMail might reset the connection if you download too much

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

# Decrypt a file encrypted using hubencrypt (ok, it's just openssl + rsautl +

# 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
