"How To Fix Slow Wake Up Time On MacBook Pro With Retina" -- Note: Since a recent update (~December 2012) this affects other machines also.
Change standby delay to twelve hours with:
sudo pmset -a standbydelay 43200
(Note: If you copy and paste make sure it's a hyphen before the
a
.)(Update: This doesn't appear to have made any difference.)

2013-02-03: Trying
sudo pmset -c autopoweroffdelay 43200
(via). (Sets the undocumented power off delay to 12 hours, instead of the default 4, when on a charger.) -
2013-02-05: Well, changing the
autopoweroffdelay
value seems to work--I've not actually confirmed it entirely but from looking at the logs the hibernation happens 12 hours after the sleep. I've changed it to 24 hours withsudo pmset -c autopoweroffdelay 86400
because apparently sometimes there's more than 12 hours between wake and sleep when I use my computer. :D

USB Prober
This utility is no longer shipped with OS X.
An (somewhat) alternative is to view the USB section of the System Information tool.
Or, run this in a terminal (via "lsusb on OS X"):
system_profiler SPUSBDataType
(Also see: "Is there an equivalent of lsusb for OS X")

Notes on getting LLVM/Clang 5.0 running on Mac OS X 10.8.5 (in order to get Address Sanitiser support):
- Downloaded pre-built binaries (
http://releases.llvm.org/5.0.0/clang+llvm-5.0.0-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz
) from http://releases.llvm.org/download.html#5.0.0 (Note that while there are Release Notes, they don't include the release date--but the web site news lists release dates.)

One of the many errors you can get if you're trying to compile with C++11 on an older version of Mac OS X (e.g. 10.8.5):
error: no template named 'forward' in namespace 'std'; did you mean simply 'forward'?
Which means that you need to add (in addition to
-std=c++11
which is probably already there)-stdlib=libc++
to yourCXX_FLAGS
or similar.e.g. in
CMakeLists.txt
modify a line like:set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "... -stdlib=libc++")
