I happened to have just finished writing a thesis on such a combination. The size of the little droplets is determined by the chemical wavelength of the reaction-diffusion subsystem. There’s a nice video and a pdf here: https://m

I found this rule in notes of Feynman's lecture given in the 70's. The rule is extremely valuable if you are in need of doing calculus regularly. Enjoy!

Yes! But intuition tells me that suspended particles moving past each other make a more fragile system than solid state devices. Also take into account the difference in refreshes between reading a book (0.05 HZ) and writing (30 HZ). That i

Apologies for the late reply @IshKebab, I read into your recommendations and they are very interesting. If you wish you could copy your comment verbatim as an issue over here, so we can discuss it further: https://github.com/

There is a lot of room to play with there, I code monochrome on colour displays too. Try experimenting with font weight, italics, and combinations. I find that less distracting.

The degradation is speculation on my part. I haven't ever experienced it. Yes, the 30 fps rate is for small updates. A full screen update (scrolling) is commonly less than ~200 ms, and there are still ways to bring that number down. I

P.S. parent was right in doubting the claim, as a parallel connection from a client on a regular desktop refreshes at 30 HZ regardless of the size of the update. The explanation is that I take end-to-end network measurements (from request o

The pixels are classical mechanical, as opposed to LEDs (electrical) or other solid state devices. The particles in a pixel could deform/burst or clamp together over time, as they move around. Both scenarios lead to decreased contrast.

I measured and split the latency between the main tasks of a single frame draw. The main culprit was network delay as I am transmitting raw pixels (one u8 per pixel) compressed with zlib. That's a hit of ~140ms for half a screen. Next

Thank you :) I haven't noticed any degradation, but I put the warning up just in case. There is research suggesting that the ink "drops" stick together or break up after so many refreshes. You can quickly skim this page for m
