If you welcome criticism, then here it is: I find your generalization particularly silly ("Hackers like dark modes"). You could have just asked (begged) for a dark mode without invoking a fallacious argument.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I like to read HN in the evening to unwind. A bright white website after dark is a great way to disrupt your melatonin production and affect your ability to fall to sleep. Dimming your phone brightness does not help sufficiently at all. In a dark room it's still like a relative flashlight in your eyes. This should not be such a head scratcher to understand.

> A bright white website after dark is a great way to disrupt your melatonin production and affect your ability to fall to sleep. I don't think that's true: https://time.com/5752454/blue-light-sleep/ This is a pet peeve of mine precisely because of the first line in that article: > It’s become a virtually unchallenged piece of conventional wisdom that exposure to blue light—the type emitted by electronic device scree…

The person you replied to said nothing about blue light but bright light.

Are you claiming bright light does not affect sleep?
