It's definitely a classic - if you haven't seen it I'd recommend it even if it wasn't related to the article :D
It is actually linked from the article. In the sentence "In conclusion, do not taunt happy fun branch predictor with asymmetric usage of bl and ret instructions." the words "do not taunt happy fun branch predictor" are a link to the video on YouTube.
