    You just know the bottom picture will be used in slides by professors for the next 30 years

      At least it won’t be like that infamous Hungarian teacher

      cw: awful human being making awful analogies

      There was some engineering professor in Hungary, who was convinced rape did not exist and women just made up to control men, and used a shot glass to prove it, by asking his students to try to put their fingers into it while moving it around quickly. Allegedly, just before he got fired, someone took a toy gun in for that analogy, then his head got red and stopped his analogy.

          Tap for spoiler

          I’m guessing the prof would say “if you cant put your finger in, rape isn’t real” then like, put the glass in his pocket or fend them off.

          Bring in a toy gun and say “let me put my finger in or I’ll shoot you” to prove that rape is real.

    At the risk of explaining what everyone here already gets: I like how the bottom picture could literally be a diagram of a 4-way deadlock where the buses are threads of execution and the roundabout exits are object locks.

    Whereas in top picture there are no passengers and I’m fairly sure the buses aren’t moving. Which probably says something about the state of the documentation

    That’s because they’re using Little Endian in the first picture, and Big Endian in the second picture.

    No wonder they’ve got unpatched race conditions if they used the wrong flag at compile time
