[11:04:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so
[11:04:59 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> everyone knows that double checked locking in java == bad
[11:05:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> anyone know if it works 'as expected' if using read/write mutex locking in jdk5?
[12:25:12 EDT(-0400)] * andrew_petro_ubu (n=apetro@uni1.unicon.net) has joined ##uportal
[12:25:52 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> What hoops do we need to jump through to make this a #uportal rather than ##uportal? I notice that our friends in Sakai and Fluid have but one pound to their names, and I'm getting jealous.
[12:26:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[12:26:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> time to go read: http://freenode.net/group_registration.shtml
[12:26:41 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> reads IRC logs
[12:26:51 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> double checked locking works as of JDK5, no?
[12:27:00 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> don't know
[12:27:05 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> so I'm told
[12:27:28 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> does it work with the synchronized keyword or just the new locks?
[12:27:53 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> I tried to correct that in code-reviewing a more junior developer (what's up with that? I'm 25. How does anyone get more junior than that?) and was informed that I'm getting old and dull, that apparently it's no longer a prob
[12:28:09 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> dunno
[12:28:12 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> Google it, I guess
[12:28:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[12:28:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[12:28:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> google is flooded with 2-3 year old posts about how evil double checked locking is in java
[12:28:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so I guess for freenode we need to fill out a form or two
[12:30:54 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> k. Who's going to fill them out?
[12:31:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> now that is a good question, I'd probably be willing to do it post-conference
[13:14:47 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> ah
[13:14:53 EDT(-0400)] <andrew_petro_ubu> running out of time before that conference
[13:22:00 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:22:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> very much so
