That might be the best explanation of garbage collection basics that I've ever seen. Thanks!

One of the better talks I have seen on the GC basics.

Great Talk, really wort watching. Thanks Nina

Big complements. What an excellent explanation!!!

Really great work. Thank you so much.

Great talk,lot of insights

Хорошо рассказывает! Многое для себя почерпнул

Great talks you make, thanks.

Great job. Thanks!

She could deliver quite a lot of information after this 27 minute talk. And it is clear what she is presenting. Many other talks went on for an hour or more but did not deliver much, only smokescreen.

What an explaination .. Thanks

I love how she is enjoying her own talk. The best talk on gc.

Fantastic!

Very Informative! @Thanks

太棒了！解释的非常通俗易懂

super useful thankyou

Great! Thx!

That was very understandable.

Nice explaniation of None and del, I know what I should do now, I should use NONE instead of del?

How to detect a cycle is done in python garbage collection loop? Outside refcount equal to 0?

Why is python garbage collection were limited by GIL (prevent reference count happen concurrently) while C# has also garbage collection mechanism but it's still able to perform multithreading ?

8:16 In python 3.6.4 ID are different now, any explanation? when assigned y = x then id are same!

Don't try it within the REPL but within a real python program.

When she says when a thread tries to decrease the refCount and another thread tries to increase the refCount simultaneously, is it somewhat similar to deadlock?

It can lead to race condition. Addition and subtraction are not atomic. Let's say ref count is 2. Now thread 1 reads that ref and subtracts by 1. Now before it could subtract and save it got preempted. Now 2nd thread runs and reads the ref count as 2. Now you can see where the problem is. 1st thread had already reduced count from 2 to 1 but just couldn't save it. Thread 2 read an old value of ref count. Ideally after both threads are done ref count should be 0. But in above scenario it will be 1. Thread safe means only single thread can operate at a time so that such cases are prevented. This is not deadlock.

I did not understand the cascading effect of del? can someone explain

Let's say if the object whose refCount is becoming 0 points to another object with refCount 1 and so on... all those pointed objects refCount become zero like in a cascade. (falling of dominoes)

Hi Nina, Duration: 12.19 what is node1 and node2?

well, i dont know i she explained the node well, imagine a horizontal line with a circle at each end of the line, and one circle at the center of the line, this means there are 3 circles, each of these circles is like the node nina was talking about, the node (circle) to the left end of the line only has one node next to it (or connected to it) which is the node(circle) at the middle of the line. Now lets look at the circle(node) at the middle of the line, this middle circle(or node) has 1 circle(or node) on its left and another circle(node) on its right, so both the left and right node(or circle) are next to the middles circle(node)

Hi

RAII is a better pattern than garbage collection.

She's using such confused examples. It's painful to watch since pretty much all I know about this topic beforehand lead me to be either suspicious of her claims due to small inaccuracies, or just stuff I know with absolute certainty to be just total bollocks. I don't understand who is the target audience here. But it just seems super frustrating to see misinformation spread with such confidence.

What do you mean? Can you point out a few mistakes?

She even talks slow speed up 25% ... what a boring talk too - I thought that would be interesting :/
