Sinopse

"POSIX Threads Programming Essentials""POSIX Threads Programming Essentials" provides a definitive and comprehensive guide for software professionals, systems programmers, and advanced developers seeking to master the art of concurrent programming with POSIX threads (pthreads). Beginning with a lucid exploration of the historical evolution of threading standards and the architectural underpinnings of the POSIX threads model, this book deciphers both the conceptual and practical aspects of the pthread API. Readers are guided through system requirements, platform nuances, and key distinctions between concurrency and parallelism, ensuring a robust foundational knowledge that supports advanced application development.Delving deeper, the book offers an in-depth examination of thread lifecycle management, synchronization primitives, and powerful threading constructs such as condition variables, read-write locks, barriers, and thread-local storage. Through real-world design patterns—including producer-consumer models, thread pools, and parallel algorithm structures—practitioners acquire actionable techniques to address challenges ranging from safe resource sharing and memory management to deadlock prevention and robust error handling. Advanced chapters illuminate critical topics such as memory consistency, lock-free programming, debugging methodologies, and system-specific optimizations crucial for high-performance, scalable multithreaded software.Distinguished by its clear, systematic approach, "POSIX Threads Programming Essentials" further addresses the complexities of multithreading in real-world systems: from building highly concurrent server architectures and integrating with event-driven frameworks to ensuring portability, security, and future-proofing codebases amidst evolving hardware and language landscapes. With practical guidance on migration, interoperability, and best practices for long-term maintenance, this book stands as an indispensable reference for any engineer committed to writing efficient, reliable, and portable multithreaded applications in modern UNIX, Linux, and beyond.

    Urology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and disorders affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs. This field encompasses a wide range of conditions, from common urinary tract infections (UTIs) to complex kidney diseases, bladder dysfunction, and cancers of the urinary and reproductive systems. Urologists are trained medical professionals who employ both medical and surgical techniques to address these conditions, ensuring optimal urinary and reproductive health for their patients. 
    The history of urology dates back to ancient civilizations, where early physicians recognized the importance of urinary function and attempted to treat urinary ailments with rudimentary tools and herbal remedies. Over time, the field has evolved significantly, with groundbreaking discoveries in anatomy, physiology, and medical technology. The development of endoscopic procedures, minimally invasive surgeries, and robotic-assisted techniques has revolutionized the way urological diseases are diagnosed and treated, improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery times. 
    A fundamental aspect of urology is understanding the intricate structure and function of the urinary system. This system comprises the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, all working together to filter waste from the blood, regulate fluid balance, and expel urine from the body. In addition to the urinary system, urology also involves the male reproductive system, which includes the testes, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and associated structures responsible for sperm production and hormone regulation. Given the close relationship between urinary and reproductive health, urologists play a crucial role in addressing conditions such as male infertility, erectile dysfunction, and prostate disorders.

    You are probably not aware, because of their hidden nature, but artificial intelligence systems are all around you affecting some of the biggest areas of your life—jobs, loans, kids, mental health, relationships, freedoms, and even healthcare decisions that can determine if you live or die. As an executive working in AI at one of the largest, most sophisticated tech companies on the planet, Cortnie Abercrombie saw firsthand how the corporate executives and data science teams of the Fortune 500 think about and develop AI systems. In this book she makes it easy to understand how AI works and unveils what companies are doing with AI that can impact you the most. Most importantly, she offers practical advice on what you can do about it today and the change you should demand for the future. 
     
     
     
    This book addresses the pressing questions that non-insiders want answered, including: how does AI work (in words you don't need a PhD to understand)?; how can AI affect my job, replace me, or prevent my hire?; is AI involved in life-or-death decisions in healthcare?; could my digital accounts or home network be hacked because of my AI-based smart TV, coffeemaker, or robot vacuum?; how does AI know so much about me, what does it know, and can it be used against me?; can it manipulate people to do things they wouldn't normally?; and much more.

    It hit me the other day after publishing my one hundredth book on Amazon that I had authored enough books that I could easily publish a catalog of my favorites..  
    I checked and I'm the only author on Amazon today who can boast a catalog of all his greatest hits. I'm not bragging, nor do I expect to win the Nobel Prize for any of these great ideas, but that's not because they are not worthy of the great award, but because I have as yet to make any of them become household words or ideas. I hope your reading of this catalog will change all that and propel at least one of them up to the bight spotlight of nationally known and/or generally accepted ideas made from pure genius.
