synchronization

However, in 1978 Richard Watson made a startling discovery: the message exchange was not what achieved the synchronization.

During testing, all three of those services incorrectly deleted files when the cloud service got confused about synchronization.

Transaction isolation would be handled like any non-database backed application: use your language and/or library's native thread synchronization features.

That way, server synchronization should become a non-issue (but you need to like the Meteor way).

Compiler optimizations matter even more on ARM than on x86 due to shorter pipelines, smaller caches, super-expensive synchronization primitives, and so forth.

I have a repo for SQL changes that include synchronization files (.sql) for all of the changes I made.

This gets around certain problems with de-synchronization of source files with the image.

Have I ever gotten to the bottom of an intermittent error only to determine it is a synchronization error?

It's 30 years later and people are still using crappy synchronization primitives.

We started with a simple solution, and ended up building Stout to solve versioning and cache synchronization issues we were experiencing.

It is compatible with Linux, Windows, Android and OS X.[4] The GNU Project keeps IceCat in synchronization with upstream development of Firefox while removing all trademarked artwork.

> use your language and/or library's native thread synchronization features You may try using a single thread and cooperative multitasking.

Seriously, I've seen "sychronization threads" that use no synchronization primitives that have a single bare exception handler trap the critical section.

When that code is undergoing frequent changes by multiple people, the chances of it being correct and the comments being up to date are slim." Implying that the real problem with locks/threading/synchronization is actually communication, proper documentation discipline, programmer skill (soft and hard).

Per Netflix's blog post about why they use AWS for serving everything except video content - "We could have chosen to build out new data centers, build our own redundancy and failover, data synchronization systems, etc.

This article, and those like it, all state that the problem with multi-threading and synchronization is inherent to the programing paradigm/language/architecture you're using: > "Buggy multi-threaded code creates race conditions, which are the most dangerous and time-consuming class of bugs in software" > "because the traditional synchronization primitives are inadequate for large-scale systems." Ok.

Synchronization is hard, marketing is easier.
