Loopy Fiasco | Do No Harm | Social Responsibility | Earning an Education | Good Neighbor Day (01.15.nnnn) Proposal

Team. This morning upon awakening an old college experience occurred. It is a rather natural event that occurs in the life of many. Whether it is a divine action as some believe in historical religious accounts, the result of an overactive mind taxed with many new concepts or ideas, or the hypersensitive nature of hearing upon falling asleep or awaking, modern medicine classifies it as mundane. Those who are neurotic become scared when it occurs; however, hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations do not indicate any form of psychological, psychiatric, or neurological disorder.

Loopy Fiasco

Upon waking this morning, a crowd of happy, excited voices where talking about the possibility of extremely tight loops which actionable data structures. A queue with a length that exceeds that of the CPU's pipeline might have a dequeue which results in a node action followed by an immediate enqueue of the same (dequeued) node. If the action, enqueue, and dequeue source lack any conditional branches, these would prevent any pipeline stalls in an iterative structure. This might produce a very quick loop, possibly faster than doing the same in a while(true),for(;;),or do...while(true). This might be worth benchmarking. Might not. This would produce an infinite loop, and some say infinite loops are "bad". But, they have uses in computing. Remember, one can spawn new threads with any given action. Also, forgive the grogginess; this might require at least a pair of cooperating action-able structures who request dequeues from each other after an initial operation on the start structure.

Do No Harm 

If this barrage of audible ideas this morning was reliable and this does produce a faster iterative structure (loop), please do not create any malware with it. It would be worse than a worm; it would be a venomous centipede (VC) since such a structure could mount a URL request attack that might overtax a server. This would be compounded if it asexually reproduced with any of the action nodes stored in its queue. This would definitely be a "bad" modern computing version of the 80's video game.

Social Responsibility    .....    Earning an Education

Please, be socially responsible with the information which you glean during this life's experience. One earns his education with the way in which he handles it after getting the degree. If one harm others with the knowledge that one has for any reason, he really never merited having an education since there are an abundance of other "positive" things one can do with an education.

Good Neighbor Day (01.15.nnnn) Proposal

In the spirit of "do no harm", we suggest that those who read javacaboose promote the idea of an international "Good Neighbor" day. There have been many wonderful teachers throughout history who have promoted harmony among the various groups of the human people for the ant is a people, the coney is a people, and the locust are a people. A united, peaceful society is much better that the fragmented, warring one which we currently have. We will probably perform a deliberate act of social kindness for someone in an opposing social group on 01.15.nnnn; however, in honor of all the great teachers through history, chose any day of the year which you see fit and be a Good Samaritan.

Forgive the recent tangential nature of this weblog, more Ozark and CABOOSE is coming soon. Everything which converges must rise.

Have a Peaceful Week. The CABOOSE Team.
