sorry, I meant why aren't we using white paint. There's no way white paint is expensive compared to black paint.

The infrared cooling paint has other issues, like it doesn't withstand damage easily and the surface texture needs to be maintained very well. But like, white paint is the cheapest kind of paint, just due to commonality.

Alternatively, why aren't we growing plants on all the roofs, that would absorb even more heat without requiring air conditioning, and it would improve air quality, it could be used for farming, etc. Now that one I can understand being more expensive, but you might be able to offset it with sales of whatever you're growing up there, but that's really unlikely. So white paint really seems like a no-brainer.

This has always been one of those, “why the fuck don’t we do this already?” things. Also, NighthawkInLight has a video on how we could make self cooling buildings with infrared cooling paint. https://youtu.be/N3bJnKmeNJY

Too short. A too long movie just ruins it. So many movies are like this. Too short and you can still enjoy it.

Yeah the waterproof bags don’t work very well in my experience. I use them on ocean stuff, but for dinghy sailing I need to be able to use the touchscreen quickly and effectively which isn’t really possible with the bags. I even have a pretty nice bag.

I mean you are more tightly coupled. It’s way more likely that someone is going to pull the git submodule (especially if you’re doing this with multiple projects) than the someone updating the version of the library inadvertently. This applies even more if you’ve created the library and deployed it to your own artifactory yourself.

That isn’t the one from the picture and I’ve never seen one of those in the wild. Not that they don’t exist, but the comment I replied to said “those” referring to the one in the image, which clearly doesn’t have a pinhole camera.

OK so not the one from the picture then.

Edit: yeah, no camera. So the new one has a camera, but the old one, the one from the meme, does not. I’ve never seen the new one, have seen plenty of the old one.

This is literally how Costco and Walmart keep such low prices. If anyone has a lower price than them they will just drop your contract

I think the point the user was making is that, if it isn’t already distributed as a library, you can just fork it and deploy it as a library artifact to your company’s internal artifact repository. You shouldn’t be pulling an external project as a submodule, that’s just coupling yourself way way too tightly to external code. So you turn that code internal and into a library.

The article calls out hash functions and links to the relevant Wikipedia page, so I don’t think this is solely about cryptographic hash functions, though that seems to be what you were talking to the other user about.

What’s the water resistance? That’s pretty vital to me, I dinghy sail and go in the water very often.
