Quotes About Locking

~ Alice Hoffman
I knelt and locked the door. I locked the door locking the world and time outside. I stretched my body across the mattress and Saskia drew in close to me and placed her open hand on my chest, her mouth near my shoulder; her breath, my breath blew out the candle, and I held my lost Wanderess with tenderness until sweet sleep overcame us.
~ Roman Payne

But in high school the business of irrevocable choices began. Doors slipped shut with a faint locking click that was only heared clearly in the dreams of later years.
~ Stephen King
Use locking to control access to global variables. Similar to concurrency control in a multiuser database environment, locking requires that before the value of a global variable can be used or updated, the variable must be checked out. After the variable is used, it's checked back in. During the time it's in use (checked out), if some other part of the program tries to check it out, the lock/unlock routine displays an error message or fires an assertion.
~ Steve McConnell
I've told you before, I don't comprehend religion, although conviction is a concept I'm beginning to get. In any case, someone with a real religious conviction is, I propose, a religious convict, and deserves locking up.
~ Gregory Maguire
The relationship in Pantera and with Damageplan is the opposite of the traditional rhythm section. It's me and Dime, not the bass, locking in always. Dime's such a strong rhythm player that we just walk in, and we're good to go. We've been playing together forever, and when he goes somewhere, I instinctively know where he's going.
~ Vinnie Paul
He has had more hallucinations recently. He talks about 'When that man was in the kitchen …' and so on. Recently he locked the door in the evening, in case 'those men' got in.

~ Michael Palin
Working with keys is always meaningful. Locking and opening is, in a sense, man's very purpose on this earth.

Locking can guarantee both visibility and atomicity; volatile variables can only guarantee visibility.
~ Brian Goetz
Every shared, mutable variable should be guarded by exactly one lock. Make it clear to maintainers which lock that is.
~ Brian Goetz
Locking is not just about mutual exclusion; it is also about memory visibility. To ensure that all threads see the most up-to-date values of shared mutable variables, the reading and writing threads must synchronize on a common lock.
~ Brian Goetz
Yet accessing a volatile variable performs no locking and so cannot cause the executing thread to block, making volatile variables a lighter-weight synchronization mechanism than synchronized.[5]
~ Brian Goetz
However, we do not recommend relying too heavily on volatile variables for visibility; code that relies on volatile variables for visibility of arbitrary state is more fragile and harder to understand than code that uses locking.
~ Brian Goetz
You can use volatile variables only when all the following criteria are met: Writes to the variable do not depend on its current value, or you can ensure that only a single thread ever updates the value; The variable does not participate in invariants with other state variables; and Locking is not required for any other reason while the variable is being accessed.
~ Brian Goetz
Static synchronized methods use the Class object for the lock.)
~ Brian Goetz
your best men are drunks and your worst men are locking them up, your best men are killers and your worst men are selling them bullets
~ Charles Bukowski
When one begins to search for the crucial, the definitive moment, the moment which changed all others, one finds oneself pressing, in great pain, through a maze of false signals and abruptly locking doors.
~ James Baldwin
