+ 156517 [zedshaw zeds] I remember reading about the Dining Philosophers problem when I was young and how it was solved with this incredibly complex logic proof that laid out most of the rules for what we know as "thread locking". For those of you who don't know, the Dining Philosophers is where there's four idiots arguing about communism eating a massive bowl of pasta and they're too stupid to ask for more than two serving forks. So, these "philosophers" spend a lot of time fighting over the forks and there needs to be a way to coordinate this fork "sharing". The solution? Ah, we'll add even more complexity to the problem and create neat things like semaphors.
