Construction and Local Government Journal

The Construction and Local Government Journal[1] was a weekly publication, edited by George Augustine Taylor and, after his death in 1928, by his widow Florence Mary Taylor, on the subject of the building, construction and local government. It was later published as the Construction and Real Estate Journal.[2]

History

The newspaper began life as the publication, Weekly Supplement to Building (18 Feb 1908 – 31 Aug. 1909); it then became Construction: weekly supplement to Building (7 Sept. 1909 – 3 Nov. 1913). It then became Construction and Local Government Journal (10 Nov. 1913 – 23 July 1930) and then Construction and Real Estate Journal (30 July 1930 – 11 May 1938) and then Construction (18 May 1938 – 16 May 1974).[2]

gollark: > While W is busy with a, other threads might come along and take b from its queue. That is called stealing b. Once a is done, W checks whether b was stolen by another thread and, if not, executes b itself. If W runs out of jobs in its own queue, it will look through the other threads' queues and try to steal work from them.
gollark: > Behind the scenes, Rayon uses a technique called work stealing to try and dynamically ascertain how much parallelism is available and exploit it. The idea is very simple: we always have a pool of worker threads available, waiting for some work to do. When you call join the first time, we shift over into that pool of threads. But if you call join(a, b) from a worker thread W, then W will place b into its work queue, advertising that this is work that other worker threads might help out with. W will then start executing a.

gollark: Maybe I should actually benchmark it.
gollark: It apparently uses "work-stealing" or something, and I think it depends on how complex the operations are.
