HoldMyTypeThe 80’s Algorithm to Avoid #RaceConditions (and Why It Failed)
LateclaescapeLos mutex permiten solucionar el problema de las race condition en programación concurrente. En este articulo te explico como usarlos correctamente.
Los mutex
Articulo disponible en formato audiblog: Introducción En un entorno de programación concurrente, varios hilos de ejecución pueden intentar acceder a un mismo recurso al mismo tiempo. Si este acceso concurrente no se controla de alguna manera, pueden ocurrir condiciones de carrera, que tal y como analicé en un articulo anterior, pueden generar resultados inconsistentes e impredecibles.
En este articulo os explico que son las race condition (o condiciones de carrera) en el contexto de la programación concurrente de software.

Sooo, Linux wizards.. I have a bash script that updates some truths in a settings file. That script can (and will!) be called multiple times at the same time. Which of course would be bad if unhandled. 😄
What are my options to have the script lock/wait for it to finish? What it does is super quick, but it must run serially. #Bash #Linux #RaceConditions

Malconcurrency: A Proposed New Term
A proposal: I'd like to coin "malconcurrency" as a new, better term for what we previously referred to as a race condition, data race or thread race. Why? It avoids confusion by readers/listeners who might accidentally assume that "race" meant in the sense of a humam race, ethnicity or skin color. By using a distinct word we avoid that tar pit entirely. This concern seems increasingly important in an era where folks feel they need to be more careful in a professional or academic context lest they be accused of racism or discrimination.

Break the Race: Easy Race Condition Detection for React by Nicolas Dubien - GitNation
<span>Race conditions are among some of the most challenging to detect and reproduce issues. As such they pose a significant challenge in development notably in UI. In this talk, we explore how to detect race conditions by leveraging fuzzing techniques. We walk you through discovering the real problem of race conditions and how they impact user experience. We provide you tools and examples demonstrating how to easily detect them in your daily work thanks to tests relying on fuzzing. After that talk, we hope your React code will be race conditions free or at least that you will have the right tools to help you.</span>
Sheik🚀 Understanding Race Conditions in Software Development 🚀
Race conditions are like traffic jams in software. 🚗💨
Imagine multiple cars (threads or processes) trying to reach the same destination (shared resource) at the same time. 🏁🚗🚗
In software, it happens when two or more threads/processes access shared data simultaneously, leading to unpredictable outcomes. 😱
Why it matters:
* 🧐 Bugs and glitches.
* ⏲️ Timing-dependent issues.
* 🤯 Hard to debug.
* 🛠️ Critical for concurrent programming.
Solution? Use synchronization techniques like locks and semaphores to control access and ensure smooth traffic flow in your code. 🚦👷♂️👷♀️

Jon Collins 👨🏻💻Me: oh - yup, the issue is we have a data race
Fitness business client: YES!
Me: no. No. That’s bad. I’ll just introduce a mutex to fix…
Fitness business client: don’t fix it.
Me: but…
Fitness business client: last one to the line pays for breakfast
Me: that’s not how this works…
Fitness business client: that’s exactly what a loser would say
Tom ChappellSo again, in theory it'd be trivial to make the program #MultiTask, because it was inherently fight-proof -- there wouldn't be any #RaceConditions or #Deadlocks, because the only data being shared never changed.
