I believe you, but there's little there which is specific to Brutalism or even a core characteristic of it: Big empty space, no place to hang your coat, stairs everywhere, everything looked the same, easy to get lost and hard to get a

Most brutalist architecture is explicitly not painted; the point is to leave the concrete "raw". "Brutalism" comes from "Beton Brut" or "raw concrete". If it's painted, it's just a concret

Encrypting the hashes in the database would make it safer. That way the password hashes can't be attacked in this way unless they can decrypt them first.

For clarity: The Apple Watch does have a built-in Alarm which will wake you by Vibrating on your wrist. If you've muted the watch (swipe up from the watch face and tap the Mute icon) then you won't get a corresponding alarm noise.

They charge really quickly. I pop mine (2nd Gen) on for a bit in the morning while I'm getting ready, or in the evening while I'm reading in bed. Apart from that I wear it all day and all night, largely for the haptic notification

Whatever meter you get installed, make sure they take the initial reading properly! Obvious for mechanic meters, but it turns out that some Electronic meters are like that too. In the UK, about 6 or 7 years ago we bought an old house and up

Very interesting, thanks! Partially trained based on subtitles from movies. Of course, I think I'd want to be pretty careful about which movies I used to train the system!

Reading these comments about territorialism and control over environment has brought into focus why users are upset when an application or OS changes its UI, even slightly; it's not just that they have to relearn something, it's t

That's interesting, so it's like sitting a pan on a radiant heating element on the hob? Induction hobs are more efficient and responsive than radiant heat hobs, so I wonder if induction heating the metal pan would be the answer he

IANAL, but surely violating Terms of Use is essentially a breach of contract? Making breach of contract a crime would be very foolish indeed.

I'm not trying to sound anything at all. I'm trying to understand his point of view. I broke out the dictionary to help establish whether he was using the word as I understood it, not as an attempt at irritating pedantry. The disc

I don't believe that you can be said to cherish something if you don't care if it goes and you don't feel the need to preserve it. cherish (verb): 1. to love, protect, and care for someone or something that is important to

I don't understand this idea that just because somebody lives in a particular state their vote should count less than somebody in a different state. That seems evidently unfair.

I wrote this in response to your original comment, which seems to have been deleted, but it's worth posting here anyway. You exercised your right to free speech by saying "A woman does what woman always do - seeking attention and

The discussion about ARC vs GC would be very interesting. Is there a transcript anywhere for the hearing impaired?

Luxury. I started out on 1200/75. I used to dream of 2400, let alone 9600! ('ad to lick code clean wi' tongue, etc. etc.)

Different kind of TV interface, but still: I have a Sony 46HX853 and it really bugs me that after turning it on from standby it still takes many seconds before it will respond to the input select button on the remote. UI responsiveness fr

It sounds like the coworker was abusing the system, but can anyone think of any legitimate reason to cut somebody off from their digital purchases like this? At the very most they should make the account "Read Only" so the custome

More attacks. Marvellous. Simply put, I took issue with the statement "a double standard that is stacked against whites, males, and particularly the intersection of the two categories." I don't extend my personal experiences

I've advocated killing nobody and no one. Nor have I accused anyone of being racist or sexist except Trump. Trump has said he will ban all Muslims entering the USA. That is discrimination on the grounds of religion. He has repeatedly c

I spoke as a White Male, not as a representative of all White Males. It would help if you focused on the discussion at hand instead of just perpetuating ad hominem attacks. Your position appears to be that nobody should speak for, or even a

I'm not an expert on communism so I can't speak to your assertion about thugs. Please could you provide a citation? I'm interested in your idea of routing resources to people to be used productively. Can you give some example

I certainly don't claim to speak for all white male. However, pleading that white males are more discriminated against than women or majorities is making exactly the same kind of mistake of which you are erroneously accusing me. You ar

So I'm not "on the level"? Classy. I'm pretty clear in the distinction between saying and doing, and it's pretty well-established that speech itself can be harmful. I think the Left and Right both point to things th
