Read past the intro. > it's ok to re-discover existing algorithms, it just validates the usefulness and correctness of such algorithms, and it also validates that you, as a researcher, are on the right track to making important discoveries in that field. > But what is not ok is to read other people's paper and code, make a stripped down version of it, claim it as your own, and after being so stripped down it is not correct anymore, claim that this is correct and lock-free. > But my feelings don't matter, what matters is that when applied to generic code (or even non-generic code), the technique described in the Peredvizhnikov Engine is neither correct nor lock-free. I thought the jab at HN was a bit rough: > I blame hackernews and its sensationalist take on the world of Computer Science, because it gives voice to anyone who shouts loud enough But then again, the top comment as posting this didn't read the article.
