| >The best color scheme for programming is the one you like and can comfortably look at for extended periods of time. Your eyes are different than mine No, your eyes are not different than theirs or mine. We share a common psysiology and optical mechanisms. Eyes work (in the absense of some mutation or disease, which covers most of us) the same way, with the same wiring, etc. Your preference (e.g. like vs dark backgrounds) might be different, but that's not the same as your eyes being different. And you could very well slow down/hurt or dellude yourself that your preference is better. This is akin to someone saying a salad plus chicken is healthier than a McBurger and another replying that they like McBurgers, that what's important is what they can "comfortambly" eat, and that your mouth is "different" than theirs. The preference part simply doesn't matter as to whether something is better on the eyes or not. And while the "Pulfrich effect" might not be a good or enough justification, it's much less absurd than the above, which implies that there can't ever be a justification because whats easier/faster to process/etc on the eye is just "taste". |
