  I’m confused on how a semaphore would help, or is this a joke that I am misinterpreting?

    Do you know what a semaphore is?

    Quite literally designed for long distance communication.

    Used extensively in many different variations before wire/electricity based systems became available, then even used after that for communication in places where you couldn’t have a wire (like between boats)

      In programming a semaphore is a way to handle access to a method in a multithreaded environment.

        Then then answer to your question is yes, you interpreted it incorrectly. The original (and common) definition of that word is vastly different than what you assumed.
