and seek to a new location on disk.

91. Recipe
Remember that there is a ”computer” in ”computer science”.
Know how long it takes your computer to execute an instruction,
fetch a word from memory (with and without a cache miss),
read consecutive words from disk,
and seek to a new location on disk.
Get involved in a language standardization effort. It could be the
ANSI C++ committee, or it could be deciding if your local coding
style will have 2 or 4 space indentation levels.
