@s_gruppetta dude I love your study of this, have you compared the differences by environmental brightness and display type as well. For instance, 3200 lumen window brightness and 500 nit LCD, and 100 lumen environmental brightness and 600 nit AMOLED would be almost intolerable. But under the right environmental conditions would be pretty much required. I've always thought the best scenario for a programmer would be a monochromatic paper LCD like on e-readers if they could get the response time higher. On those displays, light mode or dark mode doesn't seem to affect eye strain at all. Thanks for the thought provocations 🤔

@DMT I avoid anything with "harm" in the name anyways. But right you are.

** I don't think this was Abraham Lincoln, but it sounded good, and I'm too lazy to Google it..

@mattyhari with the way iron oxidizes and it being in a lake bed, I'm amazed at the condition it's in.. something must be in the lake beds that stabilizes any reactions. Cold I know helps but 2400 years, I'm amazed the detail on the blade is preserved of those figures. I'm jealous of your job.

@sspadt I think you landed in a pretty good place to encounter some great discussions. There seems to be this boom of intellectuals joining this server. Welcome, and have a lovely afternoon.

@mattyhari whoa that's awesome, how old is it? Was it used as status symbol or in combat?

@acjay could be worse, there could be a meeting going on because people saw your inbox :)

@travisgriggs social media personalities typically start niche and gradually transition into more of a generalized life feed because most start out primarily as a clean pure source of information about a particular topic. Then they develop a reputation and fame. Then people begin the self interest curiosities about who they are, what their other opinions are on other things because the trust is assumed at that point. People are also inherently visual, so if you have experience with Legos, share the creations, if you have experience with flying, document it, and help guide others. See that's the difference between creators and followers. Followers have interests in things. Creators are busy doing those things and documenting it. If you actually do your interests, you could be quite 3 dimensional and people would love it. It's hard though to become an authority on many things. Good luck in whatever your venture is. 👍

@serbestderdest I thought Twitter moderators were doing stuff like that before he bought it? So the difference is different people filtering for different reasons? Thanks for the quick response by the way. 👍

I'm noticing a lot of people coming from Twitter.. and so many are hating on Twitter. I'm not from there, so could someone kindly tell me if I missed something?

@Amikke fair enough, but if somebodies biggest concern is testing this constant against every browser ever. It's possible to test them algorithmically without creating dependencies that might accidentally end up in production code. I haven't seen many people create projects that only QA gets a test version that verifies constants. I can see the concern though cause of the get() and set() methods in objects that create hells possible like (a == 1, a == 2, a == 3) // true. But I've been cranking JS algorithms for an eternity and unless you're crafting either some freaky new encryption that's unstandardized, which is actually good practice. I'm not sure where anybody would need this. There's the fringe possibility the application runs in a NodeMCU which isn't using a browser at all but still executing front end code as middleware, but again, the developer would know that's going to happen and just read the documentation for the environment.

@Amikke someone probably had a homework assignment to make an npm module and forgot it was due and cranked that bad boy out 5 minutes before due date. I would imagine GitHub is 99% just that. But maybe I'll fork it later and give it the ability to return results in binary just to randomly blow someone's mind. 😂

@nullifidian I think this platform is unique in that there isn't a firm etiquette. But to play it safe, you could always consult the rules of the internet. Which really don't specify anything about that but will joyously destroy 10 minutes of your life.

@PawelK @Gargron I don't think this is a giant surprise with their stock crashing. But it's ironic that a business whose business is people, can't afford to keep people.

@elevynn howdy and welcome.. I'm a JS programmer but I know python too. Welcome to the server 😊 I'm also a Linux fan, and read a lot. Not sure what you're into reading but I just finished Dante's inferno and The Hagakure. I've never been a social media fan at all but I'm trying this out too and it's hectic but not bad. Welcome again

@thgs if everything in the universe forms symmetrical, why is it asymmetrical? Is this a good question?

@PawelK lol #dontDrinkAndWive
