And it's a freshman problem to prove that the halting problem is undecidable. (It's also in about a million CS and math textbooks.) You could always just say "To demonstrate that your program works, show the output of it running on itself, given this inpu…
We're demonstrating that we've solved the problem as stated, not demonstrating that the halting problem can be solved. There is no time frame for how long your test program can run (in the clients wishes), so even if there is an infinite loop in the program fed in - your own test program also waits infinitely. Because your program never stops, and is basically still doing it's job, the client cannot tell you that you…

One time I outsourced the creation of a simple Wordpress template which I didn't have time to do. I paid $300. Despite being given a pre-cut Photoshop file, the people could not figure out simple CSS bugs or even create the CSS necessary for the tabs. I spent more time managing them (aka teaching ) than it would have taken me to do it, in the end I had to do half of it anyway and this entire sick ordeal took nearly t…
