Lostsouls

This mud has been around since 1990. I was one of the founders when I was in college, but no longer have the time to invest in it.

I’ve been in the industry for decades, and perform interviews for entry level up to and including principal level. This form of interviewing is absurd, invasive and useless. It will NOT tell you how good someone is… any monkey can write code, the real question I always try and get a handle on is:

Can they solve complex problems? How do they tear the problems apart? How do they apply technologies to do so?

In person (or video) is the ONLY way to tell how good they are.

Take home tests are useless.

Good on you for telling them no in a very professional way.

I hope you are able to find something soon, it’s a really tough market out there!!!

Make the deposits higher, then pool the deposits of those that fail to meet the requirements. Then at the end of the year award the pooled money to the climbers who returned the most trash. As someone else said gamify it…

Half-life 2

Is it time to go back to the plugin-hell called Eclipse?

He was indeed… I’ll just leave this here. Mr Rogers

OMG - This game gives me flashbacks to my Netrek days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netrek

Non-cloud cams with an nvr all the way. I won’t touch the cloud based services. My go to is currently Reolink.

This is neat… I just tried “faceting lemmy” and my community came up on top.

This is me almost every morning around 5am… 😭

Me!

This reminds me of my dad and grandfather having good natured arguments about who was going to pay. It would last a good 5-10 minutes, with one of them ‘winning’. It was all in good fun, and the wait staff usually had a blast watching.

In reality, they alternated who would pay, and did this mostly for fun.

Just checked lostsouls by hitting port 23, 22 players online… a bit sad… I remember when there were at least 100-200 online at once.

LP was the initials of the developer. What was cool about LP muds was the ability to code new areas/weapons/etc directly in the game. You, as a wizard, could create a new area and load the objects and interact with them immediately.
