So … we've rediscovered Unix's "do one thing well"?

There is an example in the repo: https://github.com/schicho/mdpdf/blob/main/examples/README.p...

(It's vanilla.)

I'd love to see an output option that leaves 40%–60% of the right side of every page blank, for handwritten notes after printing (similar to Tufte layout).

FWIW, iOS already allows color filtering to display only red (or any other color).

I believe macOS does too; and then there's the venerable f.lux, which not only has warmer tinting but also "Darkroom mode" (red only).

That is a valid argument against. A conventional display can simulate a red-only display, while the reverse is not possible.

However, there are two technical points, and one non-technical point, I would like to reply with.

First, as in my other comment, software filtering mostly reduces the blue and green light emitted, but does not eliminate it.

Second, these blue and green pixels become "useless". A monochromatic red-pixel display could have higher resolutions, or lower complexity and power use.

Third, and the biggest reason (in my opinion), is that it is not optional. A red-pixel only display, does not allow you to change "the warmness" or adjust the colors. Instead it forces its own color mode.

Visiting and educating/programming for the elderly (in nursing homes or just community members) or the imprisoned is both socially beneficial and mentally and spiritually rewarding.

Likewise for volunteering at hospices, food banks, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters.

Vini, vidi, upvoti.

A common suggestion is to put the bottom line on the top line. Consider all the articles posted even here that make the reader suffer through the writer's own thinking process before getting to the point.

Summary: Bubbles should face inward.

Article lacks evidence to support its titular claim that most instances of bubble-wrapping, or most bubble-wrapping wrappers, face the bubbles outward.

Reason says the bubbles should go on the inside:

There are gaps between the bubbles. If they're on the outside, something can impact the item in a gap and bypass the padding. If the bubbles are on the inside, they become supports for the flat side (which, IIRC, is usually heavier plastic), so if there's an impact on a gap, there's still padding because the plastic is being held away from the item and the force is transferred to the surrounding bubbles.

Correct. My point was that there is no evidence that most people do it wrong, as the title suggests.

Yup. It's obvious they go on the inside, so how many people are actually putting them on the outside apart from imaginary ones used to justify a clickbait post?

The Mooch!

Send war criminals to The Hague.

At least force them to try exercising it.
