I’m doing a lecture at my Alma mater to sophomore (2nd year) students on software engineering and originally wanted to do a rehash of the one I did in 2024. But throwing the whole 2024 out and starting from scratch. My angle will probably be “don’t wait to be spoon fed, not now” Quoting @thorstenball Most predictions I see are still way too conservative. Here's mine Related

I’m trying to reattach interior pieces of a decades-old violin case. The pieces were originally affixed by staples that have a 4.5mm crown, 10mm leg length, and are made from wire that’s 0.75mm thick. I have searched a bunch permutations of those dimensions (metric and imperial-converted) with various terms (“narrow crown”, “upholstery”, “trim”, etc.) and am still coming up empty for what these staples are and where I could get new ones, and what kind of device I would need. Anyone here know? Related

If you enjoyed this one (or the original), Rift Wizard 3 is like it but better. They dispense with random equipment drops in favor of components you can use to, at any time, build equipment from a list. You need 1 each of right tagged components, etc. Raises skill cap even more. Quoting @patio11 Rift Wizard 2: “What if we just put all the information in front of the player, had all spells and enemy attacks be almost perfectly deterministic, and made it clear that every single time you died it was because you were bad at crawling dungeons?” Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
