There are captions on the video explaining some of it. This wall is only temporary storage of the bricks while they dry. The roof keeps them (somewhat) protected from rain until they're ready to be fired into stronger bricks.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I really hope I am), but it doesn't appear to be possible to use "pro" features like OpenCL with the open source AMD drivers, at least not with my 2400G APU. The last two times I tried, I had

If indeed they're banning accounts for using virtual cards, I see a parallel with the early days of Gmail. You couldn't use a Gmail account to sign up for a lot of sites because short-sighted admins categorically prohibited all fr

It's also more consistent with "no longer", which implies a progressive action. An alternative is "will not support", which is no longer indicating (or does not indicate) that it had been supporting epub for a while

I don't find that remotely readable. By that I mean that nothing in the code gives me the slightest inkling of what kind of command I would type or button I would click, expecting this code to run in response.

Multiply that by a thousand or more if they had already accrued $10 million in "damages" by 1999 as they claimed. Apparently it would be extremely valuable to them.

What is the definition of "violence" for that chart? Specifically, does it include self-inflicted violence (suicide) and vehicular homicide (drunk driving)? If so, it is much less surprising.

I think Reddit is largely protected from being sued (in the US) for copyright infringement in comments/submissions as long as they comply with valid DMCA notices. But yeah, that involves removing the content.

I'm sure it's not the only one, but it's the one that immediately came to mind. I thought it might be in the list because it's close to a foundational word in American English. Sorry that you chose to read my comment as

Since "gotten" isn't in the list, I'm going with "someplace". It even seems unusual to me as an American, as I would write either "some place" or "somewhere". If the phrase is also unusual i

If a tool is going to enforce line length limits, I'd rather have it spit a warning/error than silently try to guess a good place to break the line automatically. Otherwise, an editor tool that soft-wraps long lines at the (often

Oops! I actually thought about double-checking that before writing it, but I vaguely remember reading some list of reasons why they had initially gone with Electron instead of Chromium, so I assumed it was still true.

Brave is built upon Electron, which is built upon Chromium (not Chrome). Electron and Chromium are both open source, unlike Chrome, although development is still concentrated in Google and GitHub/Microsoft. So I imagine it's fine

Annotations were also used to correct errors in educational videos after the videos were published. The errors are still there, but the corrections are gone. They replaced annotations with "cards" which are 100% spam.
