I'm not sure if it's true or whether it's just the dimness which makes it easier to sleep.

People consider the bright screens, even at full dimness, a distraction.

You would have to be a fool to pick such careers, as the prospects are so dim. Yet because of this dimness the selection pressure is very high on the pool of contenders.

I really like to go all out when I create a readme haha The main reason I made the app was for the darker than dark dimness functionality as my eyes struggle in a dark room even at lowest brightness!

Naive question: I thought seeing in the dark was easier pre-electricity because there was no “light pollution” and everything was lit up uniformly, so you could see well enough outdoors once your eyes adjusted, based on moon- and starlight?That is, above some threshold, the main barrier is contrast, not dimness?

I suppose they could mean "8x as much reflectance but an unknown smaller insolation equivalent", but then they might as well say "we're putting a big spot light on a high-altitude balloon".The relative sphericity of the moon is nearly immaterial here: when the moon is in full phase, do you see notable dimness around the edges where less sunlight is reflected away from you?
