		npsimons on Dec 26, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know GP has a point, though: if you got a CS degree without understanding this stuff, your CS department failed you.

My point was that not everyone - not even everyone on HN - has a CS degree. I don't have one, but I still found the OP interesting.

His comment made me feel like maybe he thought I should feel bad for not knowing the information already.
