More of these "somethings" when you have less of "nothings".
Recursive complaining. Complain and then complain about the feeling of complaining. Your own feedback sucking you into a downward spiral. Pull out before you crash.
Back in a former life, I made a living coding embedded software. Recursion was a useful but tricky approach to creating applications. You had be cautious of infinite loops.
A system stuck in an infinite might never come back and in some cases could destroy itself (I believe a few windows computers died that way). Intervention by an outside observer/user hitting the power reset was needed.
To keep the software from getting too loopy in it's thinking a hardware watchdog would typically be included in the design. The watchdog needed to be feed (sent a valid signal) within a preset time frame or it would shut down the software. This approach allowed the software to ignore the aid of the watchdog by inserting a feeding within it's loopy routines. In other words ignoring the help of others. I'm fine, I told you. Now go away.
Couldn't everyone benefit from a personal watchdog?
BTW, I was reviewing recursion on wikipedia and discovered that Google included a little "Easter egg" surprise on their search page related to recursion. If you search on main search page for recursion it ask you "Did you mean: recursion." It never ends, does it?
