I emailed Ken Thompson and Noam Chomsky in the past, and they replied! It probably wouldn’t work any other way.


Emailing Richard Stallman is always an adventure


I email him often enough that I sometimes worry I annoy him (not that often, once or twice a month or so. always interesting to pick his brain on whatever topic and despite my worries, knowing him I doubt he minds)


I once emailed Douglas Hofstadter with some of my own ideas after reading his book (GEB) and he actually responded with a long reply.


I did write to him some weeks ago after reading GEB! Didn't get a reply, but also, I don't expect to. I just hope he reads the praise :)


From an interview with legendary Nintendo designer Gunpei Yokoi and Yukihito Morikawa of MuuMuu:

"Do these playworlds really need to be that photorealistic, I wonder? I actually consider it more of a minus if the graphics are too realistic."

Could you share a photo? I'd really like to see that.


https://i.postimg.cc/1Xy6V5wb/oledburn.jpg

not the greatest picture (some reflections). should have used a gray background, but I used red because this color is the most affected.

The burnin is mostly harmless, but the middle blob is very annoying; yellow parts of the image become greenish when they get to the middle of the screen.


Ah that sucks. How old is the tv? And what’s the brightness in it?

My 3 year old Panasonic gets used a lot but we keep the brightness down to the 45–55% range (it’s plenty bright) to avoid burn in. We also don’t display static content on it. And when we do, it’s mostly from Kodi which dims itself after 10 min or so.

All that to say for those who are fearful of OLED because of burn in: don’t be. With some precautions, it’s fine. And having true blacks is absolutely glorious. I enjoy it every time I use the screen.


Which tv is this?


second this!
