Yes, the timing of my visit was rather fortuitous given that they started work on removing the semaphores less than a week later.

I think semaphores were probably mentioned in Codebreakers, but it's been so long since I last read it that I don't remember a thing.

sorry Maine has to transmit vote totals via smoke signal in coastal regions and semaphores in hilly ones

A successful single-process lease demo is not proof of production safety. CLAIM's examples include two independent workers and a local fencing broker. Review the boundary between coordination and downstream enforcement:

Leases and capacity-limited semaphores for independent workers and agents. Renewable ownership with fencing tokens; REST, JavaScript and MCP.

also like. one can implement mutexes using semaphores (trivially), or semaphores using mutexes (somewhat inefficiently). there is a somewhat vaguely defined distinction between structure and function (or interface) that usually gets handwaved & is rarely taught in (say) undergraduate CS

The infamy of bugs is fascinating. With multiple threads, everyone knows you can have unintended volatility. But how many know you get deadlock from inconsistent nesting of semaphores. The infamy of the former makes it less common. The obscurity of the latter makes it more common.

News to me: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futex

> a futex (short for ‘fast userspace mutex’) is a kernel system call that programmers can use to implement basic locking, or as a building block for higher-level locking abstractions such as semaphores and POSIX mutexes or condition variables.

Thinking I'll place the semaphores here. The one on the far track will share the track circuit with the crossing signals so the only new block I will need to add will be one past the signal on the near track.

Fencing tokens are integers, and precision matters. CLAIM's typed client preserves them as decimal strings; compare with BigInt rather than Number in JavaScript. Free beta; examples and limits:

Historically, semaphores were most often used.

Threw some of those LED bulbs in these semaphores, the glow is warm enough for me. They each use a different style of bulb to my surprise, the earlier one (with the smooth lenses) takes an Edison screw and the later one (ribbed lenses) takes a bayonet

Advanced Programming in the #Unix Environment

Week 8: System V IPC

In this video lecture, we cover traditional System V IPC: semaphores, shared memory, and message queues (with a quick look at the POSIX message queues implementation). We can then translate those concepts to modern, distributed […]

Exclusive ownership and bounded capacity solve different problems. CLAIM offers exclusive leases and capacity-limited semaphores, plus renewal and fencing tokens. Start free and check the API boundaries:

Possibly the first region to have no semaphores?

The one at Heckington of course also now has a sighting board, on top of that monstrous platform.

Meanwhile here in the semaphore dessert that is East Anglia, the last semaphores have gone from Manea,March and Whittlesea😔.I must get the Skeggy line done as they're next to go.
