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

tmux cheat sheet

(C-x means ctrl+x, M-x means alt+x)

Prefix key

The default prefix is C-b. If you (or your muscle memory) prefer C-a, you need to add this to ~/.tmux.conf:

remap prefix to Control + a

We first want to take a look at what versions are installed for a given formula, `brew info FORMULA`. Let's take a look at the versions of Redis that are installed. 

```
@czq. ➜  Formula rvm:() git:(master) brew info redis
redis 2.4.5
http://redis.io/
/usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.4.4 (9 files, 460K)
/usr/local/Cellar/redis/2.4.5 (9 files, 460K) *
