If a computer is going to disobey my instructions it should be extremely sure it's doing the right thing. 100ms is too long a threshold to make that assumption.

If a computer is going to disobey my instructions it should be extremely sure it's doing the right thing. 100ms is too long a threshold to make that assumption. 100ms repetition interval is only 10Hz, which is easily accomplished in short bursts by anybody with moderate skill in button mashing. I'd set it no higher than 50ms (20Hz), which is very difficult even in short bursts.

- renewiltord 7y agoWhen I'm older or sicker, I'll use a thing that works for me when I'm older or sicker. Otherwise it's like turning on the screen reader for everyone because blind people can't operate computers otherwise.

- jzwinck 7y agoIt depends on the context. If you're trying to fire your gun in a video game, sure, it should respect every button press (subject to hardware debouncing which is always required). If you're submitting an online payment, a delay of 10 seconds per order is still not enough. If you're posting in a forum, duplicates should be automatically pruned. Trying to pin down the number of milliseconds without context is a great example of bikeshedding.
