I tried to convince my mom Diablo 2 was good because the goal is to defeat the devil.

Who dies at mutter?

I'm sure there's lots of cases where it could be deadly without good enunciation.

Use it for tasks you tend to put off and don't use it for tasks you tend to hyperfocus.

Right now I mostly use it for boring time-consuming chores, otherwise I don't bother.

I will hyperfocus when I am coding at work, so I never use it then

Now we are getting into the quantum physics question of if the universe is discrete or continuous. Which seems to be unsolved.

So I guess that's my answer. If the universe is discrete then there are finite genders, and if it's continuous then there could be infinite genders.

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.

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.

Ask your boss if there are paths for you to learn automated testing. It's a somewhat common career path for manual QA to become an SDET.

Looks like there has at least been a small team working on ffmpeg for some time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg#History

Controversial opinion, I know. I was raised Mormon so coffee was devil juice. I'm trying.

Posting some general questions to get this community going...

I recently moved from a software architect to an engineering manager position after I was asked by my company leadership a few months ago. Mixed feeling about the move. I really like technology and being deep into the code but I am also pretty good at being a manager.

Anyway, why did you make the jump? How has it been?

I trialed GitHub Copilot and used ChatGPT for a bit, but recently I found myself using them less and less.

I've found them valuable when doing something new(at least to me), but for most of my day-to-day it seems to have lost it's luster.
