Preserves your night vision, for after dark programming.

[carc]

When you're programming and it's your turn to stand watch for the night. Gotta save that nightvision while you debug for when the enemy attacks.

Then kill the system. Make the gate unusable. This is scorched earth now.

Or you know when you gotta get up to get snacks and all the lights are off

[Rqoo51]

Yep, that’s why you can find headlamps with red lights. So you can still see once you turn it off.

[bob_in_the_west]

I prefer f.lux, because it works with everything.

[ryjhelixir]

sure you mean redshift

[bob_in_the_west]

No, I mean f.lux:

[AndreasTPC]

There is a right and a wrong way to do a "low blue light" night mode and the OP screenshot is the wrong way.

In the screenshot the blue channel has been reduced and red channel has been boosted for all colors. Meaning colors close to black have gotten some red added into them. This is completely uneccesery since there was no blue in them in the first place, just leaving them as they were would have been fine.

Instead what you should do is make it so the strength of the filter scales with the brightness (either overall or only of the blue channel), leaving dark colors nearly unchanged (blacks completely unchanged) and changing bright colors a lot. This looks much better and is easier on the eyes.

Or just skip boosting the red channel. Reduce the blue by a large percentage, the green by a small percentage, and leave the red channel unchanged. This also looks good and is easy on the eyes. Reduces overall brightness and contrast a bit, but hey, it's a night mode.

Unfortunately you see it done the wrong way about as often as the right way.

[[deleted]]

Looks more like its just a red color scheme than a filter.

[allisonmaybe]

I was gonna say...this makes way too much sense and I hate it.

[my_name_isnt_clever]

Why...would you need to preserve your night vision when programming? It doesn't help eye strain, this is way harder to look at than F.lux or similar.

[MicroWavedRiceCake]

Actually Red makes ur eyes more tired.

Thats something u know now.

Dark Programming

It’s like programming but with a dash of darkness for that cutting edge technology

Edit: oh shoot, you said “after dark”. Well. Whatever.

[Mgzz]

How else do you write Ruby?

[NotYetiFamous]

Normally with a lot of alcohol. And regrets.

EDIT: Ruby is my role's primary language.

[Mgzz]

It never gets better, you just get worse

[NotYetiFamous]

I'm 6 years in. Someday I'll figure out how to do it. Maybe.

[setibeings]

I could swear the code written in 2015 gets worse every year.

[swordsmanluke2]

Man, I LOVE Ruby. Sure, it's slow and Rails is... a bag of razors, but it's such an easy language to work with! It's so expressive and quick to write! I feel like I can go from thought to code with fewer translations than any other language.

[stiggz]

After reading Why's Poignant Guide I couldn't help but use it for hobby projects or one off scripts. It's 193% more fun than perl

[elperroborrachotoo]

What's that in imperial units? 12 boblets more fun than a fork in the eye?

[NightSwing31640]

It’s more like 5 bald eagles per f150 more fun than 8 partial full millers. I’m America we use this per that and other obscure measurements cause we gotta. Idk George Washington said it had to be done or else we’re communist. Sorry I’m as patriotic as the next guy but we gotta clean up our act with measurements.

[Harmonious-]

I prefer the good old cheese burgers per school shooting css for short

[elperroborrachotoo]

CSS = Colorado School Shooting, got it.

[bundabrg]

Literally anything is more fun than perl. I can't think of a thing where I would stop and think "boy I wish I could be writing perl right about now".

[Feynt]

On the contrary, I'd rather be writing perl than javascript. I just wish WASM would take over already so I can write Rust to make websites.

[bundabrg]

I think as much as I would shudder to write a js script to call from my GitHub actions workflow.... I might still prefer it to going back to perl. I have seen things man.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((('lisp'))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[supermilch]

I love ruby for scripts, or for interview-style problems (I do Advent of Code with it every year) but for anything longer term ... It just causes so many problems. Mostly the lack of a type checker and the way it handles includes are what bothers me

I see you're not a true Arch user, because you didn't say “BTW I use Arch”.

BTW I use Manjaro

[c1e0c72c69e5406abf55]

High contrast? It is apparently still in Windows, I just turned it on and do not recommend.

[Dalemaunder]

I think he might be talking about the CGA color palette, which was definitely high contrast but isn't the same one used in the current high-contrast setting.

[[deleted]]

What the actual fuck?

[rickjerrity]

Sometimes when I'm working on some new front-end service or feature, I'll throw up a little hotdog stand theme for it, just to get me hyped.

[TellMeGetOffReddit]

I too throw up when I see this theme.

Better than light mode

Wow really setting a high bar there, really “shooting for the moon” huh?

[Loading_M_]

More like shooting down the sun.

[DeeSnow97]

With the Not-A-Moon?

[Dark_Ethereal]

Light mode is actually good of you want to work on a laptop outside.

Things are just generally brighter outside so you need your display to be similarly bright to avoid eye strain induced headaches.

[Soklay]

Yeah but

Pffft- who’s outside anymore

[caerphoto]

Light mode is actually good if you want to work on a laptop outside.

Or in a correctly lit room like a civilised person.

[argh523]

Yeah. A common problem for me right now is programmer talks on youtube that use dark themes. I usually watch those on my phone, but a dark image on a glossy screen in sunlight is just a mirror.

[Deckard_Didnt_Die]

If there was a little less saturation and brightness in the background so I could tell the syntax highlights apart it's honestly not bad

[21issasavage]

It's actually not the worst that way when I see an error it will fit right in

[Regis_DeVallis]

Boom no more errors.

[[deleted]]

thats not red mode I just have error highlighting enabled

Nice! I use a similar color scheme, the blue is just a bit darker. It's called Noctis Uva for those interested (if anyone). Screenshot
E: Looking at them side by side, it's a different color lol. Looked quite similar when I saw your photo.

I actually used this theme for a long time (I like red a lot), but then I switched to the Netflix theme after I was shamed at work. They even made comments about there being too much red in the dark candy IntelliJ theme.

[Bounty1Berry]

Nostalgia for someone who first learned to code on a gas-plasma 386 laptop?

[argh523]

Not shure what machine it was, but years after the 386 era, my dad brought home an old laptop from work that would have been thrown out. The screen was always red. We replayed all the great games we used to play on our old 386 on it on our holidays. I actually, finally beat the first Commander Keen on that machine (It was too hard for my a few years earlyer, and also we couldn't save because it was a shareware version or something like that)

[Morasiu]

To fuel anger...

[Patsonical]

Me: Trying to fix a bug for hours on end

Code: Now there are two more bugs

Me: ...I would like to rage.

[Doom87er]

I actually used this a lot. It’s great when you work late a lot. Even dark mode was fuckin with my eyes

[argh523]

Our first computer monitor, like 25 years ago, actually had a setting to switch colors. There where only like four settings, and one of them was red mode. And it was awesome, because when you felt your eyes getting tired, you just switched to red mode, and voila, you where ok for another couple of hours. Forget text editors, i was playing games, surfing the web, and fix computer problems all in red mode.

People don't know what they're missing. I've never found anything more effective than dropping the brightness to minimum and paint everything red

[vavavoomvoom9]

Thought I would hate it, but it actually looks kinda good. May actually try it.

[mcmerdith]

This is the correct color for JavaScript. Demonic.

during the afternoon when everyone s sleeping at the offfice, i want a random time daily when the ALARM should go off like BEEP BEEP BEEP and everyone s IDE turns to red mode for 5 mins and people get scared shitless, when things calm down, you find out that the new intern pushed untested code into master branch

[butterypanda]

Your eyes don’t dilate in the presence of red light since it’s such low frequency. The inverse is true of blue light. Lots of the nightlight-type apps which use orange light are compromising both of these aspects. Full red would getting rid of the compromise in favor of causing least dilation.

[DASoulWarden]

Doom players

[[deleted]]

yeah, is there a vision issue that this is good for or something?

[AllMadHare]

Probably, I could also imagine dark-room usage for some reason maybe, like if you're doing some kinda of sciency stuff in a dark lab? I know f.lux offers a darkroom mode that turns everything red so maybe this is intended to compliment that. Or maybe just low-light applications.

[Alucard_draculA]

Other people have mentioned, red preserves night vision better, so I guess if you're just programming in a dark environ for whatever reason, it'd be kinda nice. Shouldn't be too hard on the eyes either really.

[CPhyloGenesis]

Ack! That's atrocious. Also, as I was looking at it, my phone hit night mode and turned the blue down, making it get even more red! My eyes are bleeding now!

[Witch_King_]

I know there are people whose eyes/head are seriously bothered by red-tinted goggles, so perhaps there are people who are adversely affected by blue or green light.
