From a theoretical perspective, a critical section is a piece of code that must not be run by multiple threads at once because the code accesses shared resources.

``` | instruction | 0 | 205 |
```_``` has 3 main conventional uses in Python:

What is the difference between doing:

```
or:

When is it a good idea to use calloc over malloc or vice versa? | instruction | 0 | 206 |
```calloc()``` gives you a zero-initialized buffer, while ```malloc()``` leaves the memory uninitialized.
For large allocations, most ```calloc``` implementations under mainstream OSes will get known-zeroed pages from the OS (e.g. via POSIX ```mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS)``` or Windows ```VirtualAlloc```) so it doesn't need to ... | output | 1 | 206 |

Kotlin coroutines are different from Rx.

I want to sum a list of Integers. It works as follows, but the syntax does not feel right. Could the code be optimized?
```Map integers;
integers.values().stream().mapToInt(i -> i).sum();
``` | instruction | 0 | 213 |
This will work, but the `i -> i` is doing some automatic unboxing which is why it "feels" strange. `mapToInt` converts the stream to an `IntStream` "of primitive int-valued elements". Either of the following will work and better explain what the compiler is doing under the hood with your original syntax:

I am beginner of LaTeX. From many examples I found, I notice that it's very common to use command ```\leavevmode```. I can't find any information about this command. Could anyone tell me what's the function of it and how to use it? | instruction | 0 | 214 |
The ```\leavevmode``` is defined by LaTeX and plainTeX and ensures that the vertical mode is ended and horizontal mode is entered. In vertical mode, TeX stacks horizontal boxes vertically, whereas in horizontal mode, they are taken as part of the text line.
For example ```\mbox{..}``` is defined as ```\leavevmode\hbox{... | output | 1 | 214 |

In Python, everything is shared, except for function-local variables (because each function call gets its own set of locals, and threads are always separate function calls.)

Why is ```SELECT *``` bad practice? Wouldn't it mean less code to change if you added a new column you wanted?
I understand that ```SELECT COUNT(*)``` is a performance problem on some DBs, but what if you really wanted every column? | instruction | 0 | 220 |
The asterisk character, "*", in the SELECT statement is shorthand for all the columns in the table(s) involved in the query.
