Quote by Honoré de Balzac

“Malangnya, aku adalah seorang yang teramat buruk dalam hal ilmu alam, karenanya aku kerap mengabaikan banyak peristiwa ajaib melalui pengamatan yang hanya sepintas. Aku tak bisa menceritakan padamu berapa jumlah bulu sayap makhluk nan puitis ini, tak pula bisa menjelaskan di mana persisnya letak lubang hidung dalam paruhnya, atau apakah kedua rahangnya terhubung baik maupun bagaimanakah wujud tulang kakinya. Tapi bagaimanapun juga, gelatik ini adalah milikku...! Dia punyaku. Hanya aku yang mampu mendengar dan mengerti. Betul, burung ini, paling tidak pada kicauannya, adalah sebentuk rahasia antara jiwaku dan langit, seperti syair sendu terlukis dalam catatan Webber yang tetap menyimpan misteri antara dua orang yang saling mencintai.”

“When a field is declared volatile, the compiler and runtime are put on notice that this variable is shared and that operations on it should not be reordered with other memory operations. Volatile variables are not cached in registers or in caches where they are hidden from other processors, so a read of a volatile variable always returns the most recent write by any thread.”

“From the perspective of a class C, an alien method is one whose behavior is not fully specified by C. This includes methods in other classes as well as overrideable methods (neither private nor final) in C itself. Passing an object to an alien method must also be considered publishing that object. Since you can’t know what code will actually be invoked, you don’t know that the alien method won’t publish the object or retain a reference to it that might later be used from another thread.”

“Immutable objects are simple. They can only be in one state, which is carefully controlled by the constructor. One of the most difficult elements of program design is reasoning about the possible states of complex objects. Reasoning about the state of immutable objects, on the other hand, is trivial. Immutable objects are also safer. Passing a mutable object to untrusted code, or otherwise publishing it where untrusted code could find it, is dangerous — the untrusted code might modify its state, or, worse, retain a reference to it and modify its state later from another thread. On the other hand, immutable objects cannot be subverted in this manner by malicious or buggy code, so they are safe to share and publish freely without the need to make defensive copies.”
