Exercise 1
Idle-waiting Thread Joining
– It have as an objective to change the method “join” of a Thread. It was implemented like this:
[code lang=”c”] while(_state != FINISHING)
yield();
[/code]
This method consist in verify the state of the Thread that is joined, if the state is different from FINISHING, it calls yield(). This solution cause an overhead, because it do this verification all the time that the process is Phased. We should implement a new function, that don`t cause this overhead.
Modified files:
– thread.cc
– Thread.h
EPOS with our solution.
Steps, and explanation about other solutions (PORTUGUESE)
A relief to read something where I did not have to fact check every claim mentally, and a look at growthbyfocus continued that reliable feeling, sites where I can lower my guard and trust the content are rare and this one is earning that trust paragraph by paragraph through consistent careful work behind the scenes.

Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at everattic extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Really appreciate the lack of pop ups, modals, cookie banners stacking on top of each other, and a quick visit to ideastointent confirmed the same clean approach across the rest of the site, technical decisions about user experience are part of what makes content actually pleasant to engage with for sure.
Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at startmovingdecisively kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.
Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at edenfair carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.
Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at growthbyfocus would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.
