I don't understand- in what sense is this "1 bit"?
2 colors per pixel - black or white.

Every pixel has 1 bit of color depth, basically black or white.

It has some weird rainbow effect to it on mine, and the background flickers when I scroll.

That story rules, as does the collection it's in (Frost and Fire).
I’ll have to find that, rather I used IA to find the back issue of the magazine it was published in.
Inspired by this thread, I just reread it. There's a reproduction with the original woodblock print images, which was useful because I didn't have that when I read this story as a teenager.

#16When I was getting started with my laser engraver, I used the Great Wave as my template image. It translates to black and white quite nicely. Since the laser has a power range, you normally use grayscale but dithering also works. The stucki and jarvis options are both very good.
To me, dithering reminds me of early Macs (just like the link).

Same here. Also a more minor issue for people like myself, the site causes some 'glare'(?) and is difficult to look at.
I've had this issue since my childhood, now that I think of it. On paper (especially grids) and websites. I should probably figure out what it is.

Same here, I think it's caused by the font it's using (BitGeneva12 [1], which obviously is a geneva [2] clone but I can't find where it (the font) is from. Maybe the author created it themselves?).

Yeah, it looks like the font is scaled slightly wrong along the x-axis, so that the displayed pixels don't quite line up with screen pixels. Specifically, the text is rendered about 0.5% too narrow, causing a moire-type pattern that repeats about every 200 pixels.
Adding this custom CSS rule seems to fix it for me:
p { transform: scale(1.005, 1); }
