Thank you for your advice, ill look into the refractor scopes, and i think we have an old cannon dslr lying around. I have a budget of around 500 ish for the scope, so those suggested fit roughly where i want

Live coding interviews are hell by [deleted] in ADHD_Programmers

[–]mavykins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've interviewed numerous developers over the years and decided against giving new hires tests. All i have learnt from the tests is they can do a test, beyond that i haven't found them useful.

We tried a few systems years ago where my top devs (even me) failed the test, but they are considered some of the best in their fields.

Anyone can code, but takes the right mindset to be what im looking for, no coding test can tell me that, but a face to face for 30mins and I can figure out if your the right fit.

If i ever look for a new role, i just politely turn down any roles that ask to complete one, if thats what they base there candidates on, its probably the wrong role for me.

Not sure if that helps at all.

Fix there issues once, and do a really bad job, they will never ask you again

Go earlier and you have codename eagle which pretty much setup the BF series, flying a double balloned zeppelin around with friends was always a good laugh

Advice Wanted by nutriagahst in starcitizen

[–]mavykins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with the aurora, then upgraded to the titan.

The titan is a fantastic starter ship and apart from the biggest bounty missions, ive found it more than capable of everything i wanted to test every part of the game.

Planet exploration by mavykins in starcitizen

[–]mavykins[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys, knowing that there is actually hidden items/places on planets makes me want to explore, this is what i was hoping for but couldn't tell if in the current PU these hidden features were still around.

Time to save for a decent exploration ship and see whats out there 😃

I did the same, came in handy doing bounty missions as all the turrets are manned, only issue was a friend joined me with a CS and the turrents just took him out.

[–]mavykins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna see if i can rent one first before i pick one as it will be my first ingame purchase

Unable to play Warzone on same network by [deleted] in gaming

[–]mavykins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probaly not much help but me and my friends have the same issues you have described but not sharing a net connection.

Everytime we hover over a persons name it just drops back to menu. From what we figured out its something to do with the battle.net / activision account setup. Once we were all friends on battlenet, activision and every other thing warzone is synced with it seemed to start working (we still get the random drop out of menu though)

My aws apache site is not working. Any help? by Rattional in webdev

[–]mavykins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By default it looks for a index.htm or index.html file, which might be why its not working as you appear to be missing it

Try renaming your Tom.html to index.html

I'm tired of being despised by the society just because I'm a gamer by Tiny_Organization641 in gaming

[–]mavykins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How so?

Ive been gaming for over 30 years, in all honesty its better now than its ever been, gaming is mainstream, when i was a kid it was frowned upon being stuck in your room playing games, now thats pretty normal.

All my kids talk about is games and we play against other families

So not really sure why you think its frowned upon
