"git find" command

; "git find" should work exactly like your system find (BSD or GNU), except for
; two things: one, it will always ignore the current git directory; and two, if
; you don't supply any root paths to search, it defaults to searching from your
; git project toplevel.

A list of the most common functionalities in Jekyll (Liquid). You can use Jekyll with GitHub Pages, just make sure you are using the proper version.

You can specify the underlying name for a C function the linker/compiler should actually use. If you use an existing
function's name, it will just let you refer to it with your prototype's name. If you define the function, it'll give
it that name. It even complains if a function of that name already exists. Tested with clang on a Mac, but AFAIK also
works in GCC. You can even use special characters in your function names, like you can do in assembly.

Making efficient use of the libdispatch (GCD)

libdispatch efficiency tips

The libdispatch is one of the most misused API due to the way it was presented to us when it was introduced and for many years after that, and due to the confusing documentation and API. This page is a compilation of important things to know if you're going to use this library. Many references are available at the end of this document pointing to comments from Apple's very own libdispatch maintainer (Pierre Habouzit).

My take-aways are:

  • You should create very few, long-lived, well-defined queues. These queues should be seen as execution contexts in your program (gui, background work, ...) that benefit from executing in parallel. An important thing to note is that if these queues are all active at once, you will get as many threads running. In most apps, you probably do not need to create more than 3 or 4 queues.

  • Go serial first, and as you find performance bottle necks, measure why, and if concurrency helps, apply with care, always validating under system pressure. Reuse
