Quotes About Synchronization

Static synchronized methods use the Class object for the lock.)

The other end-run around the need to synchronize is to use immutable objects [EJ Item 13]. Nearly all the atomicity and visibility hazards we've described so far, such as seeing stale values, losing updates, or observing an object to be in an inconsistent state, have to do with the vagaries of multiple threads trying to access the same mutable state at the same time. If an object's state cannot be modified, these risks and complexities simply go away. An

Immutable objects are always thread-safe.

There are times when your mind isn't ready to go but your body is, and times when your body is ready to go but your mind isn't. You try to get the two in sync as much as possible.

True excellence is a product of synergy.

If you followed this economic crisis and you do not think that the world is getting flatter, you are not paying attention. We saw the entire global economy at one time acting totally in sync. The real truth is the world is even flatter than I thought. Our mortgage crisis is killing Deutsche Bank. You still don't think the world is flat?

pack and a disorganized band of fringe oscillators. When the system was self-synchronizing, Winfree found that no oscillator was indispensable. There was no boss. Any oscillator could be removed and the process would still work.

Mindless, lifeless things can sync spontaneously. The sympathy of clocks taught us that the capacity for sync does not depend on intelligence, or life, or natural selection. It springs from the deepest source of all: the laws of mathematics and physics.

Pecora started the transmitter and receiver in different states, and then asked the computer to predict their behavior far into the future. As the numbers poured out, they bobbled erratically—the aperiodicity expected of chaos—but amazingly, their values converged toward each other. They were synchronizing. By driving the receiver with a chaotic signal transmitted from a duplicate of itself, Pecora had coaxed them to fluctuate in lockstep.

Hopfield's insight was that self-organized criticality might be intimately linked to synchronization in pulse-coupled oscillator systems. The tantalizing possibility of a relationship between those two areas spawned dozens of papers exploring the possible ties.

There are various ideas about the mechanism of synchronization, but the best guess is that it has something to do with pheromones: unidentified, odorless chemicals that somehow convey a synchronizing signal.

Remarkably, the other 20 percent of blind people do manage to synchronize to the light-dark cycle. The likely explanation is that the circadian photoreceptors in their retinas are intact, even if their rods and cones are not. This allows light to work its resetting action on the clock, by striking the eyes and then traveling down the neural pathways to the pacemaker. In other words, although these people lack sight, they can still perceive light in a nonvisual, circadian sense.

But we all know that, at least in principle, sync can be persistent without being periodic. Think of the musicians in an orchestra. All the violins come in at the same time, and stay in sync throughout. Yet they are not periodic: They do not play the same passage over and over again.

The lunar cycle within the solar season: that kind of syncopated rhythm is what life relates to.

Todo lo que le sobraba de inteligencia le faltaba de sentido práctico. Su interés en el mundo real se concentraba en aspectos como la sincronía de los semáforos de la Gran Vía, los misterios de las fuentes luminosas de Montjuïc o los autómatas del parque de atracciones del Tibidabo.

we'll both heave on three.

By doing this, Development and Operations may end up creating a shared work queue, instead of each silo using a different one (e.g., Development uses JIRA while Operations uses ServiceNow). A significant benefit of this is that when production incidents

For the walk, count "one, two, three, four" or you could say, "bread-and-butter, bread-and-butter" along with your pony's steps. For the trot, try humming a song like "Jingle Bells" or counting "one, two, one, two" as you post.

We think and our bodies do not follow. Our actions do not harmonise with our thoughts.

Answering phones synchronously is very different than reading an email, sorting it, figuring out which bucket it goes in, and then responding.

coordination of two or more individual minds, working in perfect harmony for a definite purpose.

You can have the most amazing horse in the world and not be able to ride it, so it has to be a good match for sure.

The proposal is not well received, because people are attached to local time. In 1883, a compromise is reached with the idea of dividing the world into time zones, thereby standardizing time only within each zone. In this way, the discrepancy between twelve on the clock and local midday is limited to a maximum of about thirty minutes. The proposal is gradually accepted by the rest of the world and clocks begin to be synchronized between different cities.

What time is it in New York? He shook his head. An hour later than it is here. The earth simply has to revolve, Eve, however annoying it is for you. It can revolve all it wants. I just don't see why people can't settle on the same time.
