   I did a similar project a couple years ago to benchmark the effects of different memory access patterns. The whitepaper [0] includes some graphs for how performance changes as you add more threads on different cores. [0] http://s

   For your first case, why not: do { } while(!do_something()); Not trying to be snarky, I'd just like to understand :)

   This looks really cool! I've been interested in getting into sous-vide for a while, but I'm not sure where to start. Could anyone point me to some introductory resources? (websites, maybe cookbooks?) I'm interested in learnin

    If you are interested in seeing specific data on the effect caching has on memory bandwidth, you might want to check out this paper I wrote back in 2011[1]. Some of my findings: - Effective bandwidth is approximately 6x greater for data tha

    It's certainly not exhaustive, but Andreas Zeller's Udacity course[1] has helped me bring a more systematic, methodical approach to my debugging sessions. In addition, his focus on using using tools to assist our debugging effort

    Steve Yegge had a good essay that touched on this.[1] He argues that the right way to learn math is breadth-first, rather than depth-first - basically, learn the basics of a wide variety of fields within mathematics, and then you will know

    For anyone else interested in how the organizational incentives and institutional culture at NASA helped to set the stage for the Challenger disaster, I highly recommend The Challenger Launch Decision [1] by Diane Vaughan. From the New Yor

    If you prefer a more vim-like workflow (i.e. jumping in and out of your editor from your shell), a good solution is to fire up emacs in daemon mode to run in the background, and then connect to it using emacsclient. I automatically run

    Does source IP address make a difference when searching fares on ITA Software's Matrix[1]? To my knowledge, ITA Software is where Kayak and many of the other booking sites get their data, so it's normally what I use when searching

    Just a heads up, Web of Trust has this sited rated very poorly[1], ostensibly for spam. As a result, any users with the Web of Trust browser extension installed are shown a Big Scary Warning that they must click through before seeing the si

    In a similar vein, I would highly recommend the book Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing [1] by Ted Conover. The author was a journalist who wanted to do a story on the prison system in New York State. The Department of Correctional Services froze

    I use this almost every day, and I love it. It really does "just work", even when you throw it files that can be a hideous mix of PHP, HTML, Javascript, inline CSS and whatever else. I actually wrote a quick script that uses Emacs

    That's an interesting problem. I frankly would have thought someone would have done this by now. We'll do some research, and I'll definitely ping you if we decide to pursue it. Thanks so much!

    This is a great idea. I often have the same problem (I'll just turn off the alarm before I'm actually awake, and then oversleep). I actually didn't know about Wemo, and I'd be curious to see if there is a technical reaso
