Simple express HTTP API request metrics gathering, demonstrating how `req.connection.bytesRead` is weird
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const onFinished = require('on-finished');
// it may be necessary to modify the request object in various ways, this can
// be done in this function. For example, a `_metrics_gatherer` object is
// added to req and req.connection for the purposes of metrics observing functions
const modifyReq = (req) => {
req._metrics_gatherer = {};
if (!req.connection._metrics_gatherer) {

Illustrating two benign race conditions in Go (stop flag and ABQL)
// illustrating benign data races in:
//
// a. one-time flag setting where missing the flag being set is benign (we simply
// loop one more time, but in the logic of the program, that's fine)
//
// b. implementing an array-based queueing lock in which lockers wait on the
// value at their array position to be set to 1

[go] Demonstrating that indexing a map[uint32] takes longer with larger indexes
/* This was written to show that indexing a map with numbers
* formed by putting two uint16's into a single uint32 takes longer
* than indexing a map with uint16's in the range [0, 1023]
