I remember my first semaphore. It was before async was a thing and I needed to wait on 3 network calls to finish. I had each call make a callback with an identifier. Each time the function was called, it checked if every expected identifier had completed, proceeding only after that was the case.
I had a similar approach to my first time working with threads. Instead of worrying about locking 1 memory spot for them to take turns editing, I gave each thread a dedicated memory spot to write their results and then aggregated the results when they all finished.
I guess nowadays I would just use a channel or mutex depending on what I needed to do.
I love the name C# gave it. “SemaphoreSlim.” Sounds like a rapper or something lol.
Will the real Slim Semaphore please sync up
We're gonna have a deadlock here
The real slim semaphore please stand up
Nothing you just posted has to do with a semaphore lol...
After googling the definition that is true. I used the semaphore mechanisms to do things other than manage access to a singular resource. Is there a precise term for that part of it?
Wouldn't TaskCompletionSource also work?
The format of this is the most funny to me, that the son would ask his (presumably non-technical) dad about this topic, and the dad is just bewildered, and the son asks again, but in Reddit lingo, and then the dad answers in perfect layman’s terms. Just altogether surreal
Downvoted because incorrect meme format.
Upvoted because correct comment
Race condition
Anyone has a gender neutral explanation?
They said “urinals”, not “men’s bathroom”.
It already was gender neutral.
Probably wanted something along the lines of Urinals<T>?
Women don't get to see urinals in their bathrooms. Maybe that is their gripe.
It's the same thing with having a sink in the toilet stall vs having sinks in front of a mirror and no individual sink, though.
Wow, its been years since i saw this meme format
I posted a meme with this template 4 years ago and got this comment. Really how old is this template? lol.
I saw one joke where the boy rushes in, yelling he can't find mom.
Cue to the dad section: That yellow page (changes to the yellow hair of a woman)
He replies back, well she isn't here either.
I remember seeing that one. It was hilarious af
rare form where the description is funnier then the meme itself
Based on my reaaally long term memory... At least 15-17 years old
2009, so pretty much accurate.
Early 2000s, so at least a decade maybe 2
I’ve seen this clear back to 2012, and it predates even that. It’s old, alright!
Like, 15yrs.
Almost 15 years, I remember this one from 2010.
it just occurred to me that i never saw the orignal comic.
so i looked it up and here it is
Well. There’s that….
I much prefer this version
Well played sir. Very well played
And I have maybe never seen it being used so wrong lol
