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

(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

How to connect PS3 controller to a Mac or PC

How to connect PS3 controller to a Mac or PC

This is how you connect PS3 controller to Mac OSX, PC, etc. when previously connected to a PS3. You will need a Mini USB cable. Overcome your laziness, get up of your chair, and go get one!

A big misconception is that keep holding PS button will reset the controller's pairing. It DOES NOT! From my testings, the controller keeps paring with the last machine it was CONNECTED VIA A USB CABLE.

Here are the steps:

import os
import pprint
import fnmatch
import time
import subprocess
def find_services_needing_restart():
services = {}
pids = [ f for f in os.listdir('/proc') if f.isdigit() and os.path.isdir(os.path.join('/proc', f)) ]

List of alias matchers in RSpec 3

This list is based on aliases_spec.rb.

You can see also Module: RSpec::Matchers API.

matcher aliased to description
a_truthy_value be_truthy a truthy value
a_falsey_value be_falsey a falsey value
be_falsy be_falsey be falsy
a_falsy_value be_falsey a falsy value

SIZEOF_HEAP_PAGE_HEADER_STRUCT = Fiddle::SIZEOF_VOIDP
SIZEOF_RVALUE = 40
HEAP_PAGE_ALIGN_LOG = 14
HEAP_PAGE_ALIGN = 1 << HEAP_PAGE_ALIGN_LOG # 2 ^ 14
HEAP_PAGE_ALIGN_MASK = ~(~0 << HEAP_PAGE_ALIGN_LOG) # Mask for getting page address
REQUIRED_SIZE_BY_MALLOC = Fiddle::SIZEOF_SIZE_T * 5 # padding needed by malloc
HEAP_PAGE_SIZE = HEAP_PAGE_ALIGN - REQUIRED_SIZE_BY_MALLOC # Actual page size
