Talk:Race hazard

message: Apart from the whole race condition/hazard issue, this article is just plain awful. The section on asynchronous FSMs has no context, the article as a whole is full of technical jargon, the writing is terrible, and only the first sentence or two seems to actually be about explaining race conditions (as opposed to giving technical examples of them).

message: Agreed, this should be race condition, who's ever heard of race hazard?
Needs to be merged with race condition, which already exists. -- Khym Chanur 06:08, Feb 19, 2004 (UTC)
Grrrr... I wish people would use the standard terms for things. Graham 06:09, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe it's a UK thing, but I only ever learned this as race hazard, though obviously I understand race condition to be the same thing. To my mind the term "hazard" is somewhat more descriptive, since such things are usually most definitely hazardous! A race condition sound much more benign, which it isn't. I do agree that there shouldn't be two articles though, so in the end it doesn't matter what we call it as long as both terms eventually end up on the same page. Graham 23:24, 12 May 2004 (UTC)

text: Hazard does (or did) have a specific technical meaning. The term may have been introduced by David Huffman (from the eponymous code). I have a reference: Huffman, D. A., "The Design and Use of Hazard-Free Switching Networks", Journal of the Assoc. for Comp. Machinery, 4, 1, pp. 47-62 (January 1957). I do not have time right now to do the full research, but I think the encyclopedia terms are confusing. I seem to remember important distinctions between static and dynamic hazards, for instance. I hope this helps. AJim 19:06, 14 May 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: multiple terms

message: this page uses a whole lot of programmer jargon---which is fine generally, but makes it useless for non-programmers trying to find information.   there should be an explanation at the top for "laymen", and then it can go into the detailed explanations for people who want, and will understand, the language.  This is especially important when we're getting links from Wired and such. --- Juicy 03:58, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Bounded linear function

message: Query the point being made in the final para. Is it about Q-linear functions, eg take a Hamel basis for R over Q, define a function by Q-linearity on the b in it, such as b/|b|, tweak to make bounded?
Charles Matthews 09:13, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know anything specifically about linear functions on R over Q, but I know there exist linear functions on R over R that are not f(x) = ax.  My topology book mentions one discovered by F. B. Jones.  Its graph is connected but not compact. CyborgTosser
I think you need to clarify that. All the conventional-sense linear functions of that kind are multiplication by constants. The ax+b functions are presumably not what you mean.
Charles Matthews 22:34, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: My mistake.  The function I mention only satisfies superposition, which would make it linear over Q, not R. CyborgTosser

Talk:Eight Consciousnesses

message: This article needs an expert to look it over. The best I could do is edit the second section for some spelling and grammar mistakes. I tried not to change the content, though I have some reservations about it. For example, I don't know if the strange Computer Monitor metaphor belongs.

Talk:King's Cross St Pancras tube station

message: Surely the (whole) point of the explanation was to demonstrate that even though Euston and King's Cross St Pancras are consecutive stations on both the Northern Line and Victoria Line; they are consecutive in opposite directions.  Providing local geography gives very little in this case,  compared to the global direction which gives the main direction of the lines... —Sladen (talk) 23:07, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the discussion. It would be great if this could be discussed and a consensus reached. It's been stable in the previous version for some time so it would be good to avoid flip/flopping it between versions till there's some idea what works. Surely it must be a more general point that has been discussed elsewhere? Or not?? Best wishes, DBaK (talk) 23:17, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

text: Bijou gapette ... Yes, but others argue that it is misleading to give directions which just aren't true. That is, Euston is not to the north of it, and so on ... and that true geography should over-rule the er er topological "truth" of the tube diagrams ... any more views?
