I’m a software consultant and juggle multiple accounts without issue in Outlook. Whenever the authentication expires I have to sign in again in a bunch of places, but that only happens once a month.

Islam believes in most of the Jesus story; that he was the Messiah, he was born of a virgin, and performed miracles. However it differs where they believe that Jesus is not the Son of God nor was he resurrected.

But yeah, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Baha’i are the major Abrahamic religions and worship the same monotheistic God.

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 β€œreliably” 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
