  • The plural of moose is meese.

  • With the power of AI

    Here's a TLDR of your text:

    • ADHD brains are well-suited to tech jobs. They thrive on the variety and urgency of IT work.
    • Success requires balance. You can't rely on high-stress situations to focus long-term.
    • Your experience is your asset. Learn to translate your instincts into process improvements others can understand.
    • You'll need new skills. Develop time management and task completion skills to progress.
    • Other ADHD-friendly careers exist. Consider EMTs, kitchen staff, or machine operators where focus and pattern recognition are key.
  • Haha, yeah, free. I totally haven't spent hundreds of dollars on the game. It's over a decade with thousands of hours though. I haven't really played the last couple years though, but that's mostly because I have small children and a career

  • Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you've done some good work you can start relying more on word of mouth and charge more.

    I would recommend doing some small jobs on Fiverr or Upwork. Contracting isn't for everyone, nor is running a small business. Fiverr and Upwork will be pretty disconnected from your local contacts so if you mess up or decide it's not for you then it's easier to leave.

    Ultimately it's networking, instead of rolling your eyes when an acquaintance has an app idea you can offer to help.

  • Right. There is no solution to the halting problem, that's been proven. But you just showed you can very easily create a way of practically solving it. Just waiting for 10 seconds does it. That will catch every infinite loop while also having some false positives. And that will be fine in most applications.

    My point is that even if a solution to the halting problem is impossible, there is often a very possible solution that will get you close enough for a real world scenario. And there are definitely more sophisticated methods of catching non-halting programs with fewer false positives.

  • A full solution to the halting problem can't exist. But you can definitely write a program that will "reliably" detect them to a certain percentage.

    And many applications do exactly that. Firefox asked me today if I wanted to stop a tab because it was processing for too long.

  • flat white wall

    Hey guys, look at this light mode user! My wall is dark mode. 😎

    In a serious note, a developer should be aware of how licenses work. Just copy pasting from Stack Overflow likely breaks the defaults license. You could open up yourself or your company to serious legal trouble. And it really isn't ethical. I wouldn't want code I shared in a certain context be stolen by a large corporation and make them money

  • Just don't tell your Legal department.

  • There's really good documentation out there and there's bad/nonexistent documentation. So stackoverflow is going to be a more consistent experience.

    Also I think it is a bit of a skill to be able to read documentation well, especially for Jr. Devs that might not have fully grasped OOP.

  • Once I learned about http files I never went back. It's so easy to share and use, I primarily use JetBrains but there are extensions for VSCode that do the same thing that I have used as well.

  • I'm unsure. A lot of people are saying yes, but they are also implying to do so preemptively which I don't agree with. I would rather wait a few weeks and see what effect it has on this instance before making a decision.

  • Hey, my meme I reposted got reposted to this instance's programmer humor. Cool!

    I stole it from someone else, so no worries OP. I honestly just like how Lemmy can enable these "reposts". I think it's fun that someone else that a dumb meme I thought was funny was actually funny enough to post it again.

  • I thought 10x Developer was an even older term. I think it has made a resurgence though.

  • We have 1 TB microSDs. A pigeon could probably carry at least 100. If I did my math right(which i probably didn't), if it takes 24 hours of travel that's still a 8Gb/s connection.

  • You can do both with Windows Terminal!
