Source: The Deadlock Empire
Via: Face the dragon. Learn the ropes of concurrent programming. – Lars Fosdal – Google+
Source code is available and focuses on C#; maybe one day I’ll make a Delphi version: deadlockempire/deadlockempire.github.io: The Deadlock Empire: Slay dragons, learn concurrency!
BTW: a great book (with nice illustrations at both github and kernel.org) is Source: Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It? [WayBack]

A while ago (in fact more than a year), I posted Encoding is hard… go G+ with the below picture.
ftfy (fixes text for you) fixes it, but:
How did the single quote become “’”?
Actually, because of a a common “beautification” of many Office suites (Microsoft and Open alike), the single quote was a special one: a Unicode Character ‘RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK’ (U+2019) which in UTF-8 is encoded as 0xE2 0x80 0x99.
