What are some examples of other such constants you have hanging around?
- dekhn 6y agoa good one (although it's really a functional constant that has to be determined per-system) is the amount of time it takes to look up data in local RAM vs RAM that is attached to the other CPU socket (IE, over the system bus); it's 50% longer. I typically remember all the TCP timing constants, the seek time of a hard drive, everything in "Programmer's rule of thumb" (how long it takes for data to travel by light from CA to NL, etc)
