&quot;A healthy circadian rhythm depends on seeing bright light while you’re awake, not just avoiding bright light before bed&quot;<p>This statement cannot be emphasized enough. Especially for Hackers and other indoor&#x2F;Desk bound folks, the amount of bright sunlight exposure is critically important for two reasons:<p>1) Sunlight is the &quot;moderator&quot; of our circadian Rhythm via Melatonin and other Neuro-chemicals<p>2) A large percentage of people are Vitamin-D deficient, more Sunlight (on skin) = greater chance of Combating this issue<p>Taken together, fixing these will resolve many issues..

I just realized for the first time that I&#x27;m apparently using F.lux differently from all other people. For me, it&#x27;s about making the color palette more compatible with the lighting situation in the room. I&#x27;m not into all that circadian stuff at all.<p>I love the new features, but I&#x27;m not wild about the software calculating the &quot;night-time-but-not-bedtime&quot; duration for me. Though F.lux seems to go into the opposite direction, I would prefer <i>more</i> configurability not less - for example letting people set the transition times themselves and enabling them to have as many lighting modes as they want.

I didn&#x27;t really &quot;get&quot; the purpose of flux for a while. I appreciated the sleep schedule reinforcement aspects of it but if you don&#x27;t have a normal sleep schedule then it would seem to be less useful. That&#x27;s always been the major selling point for f.lux forever, and it seemed so intrusive so I didn&#x27;t use it.<p>However, I finally figured out the real reason for using it: white balance adjustment. The thing is, our eyes aren&#x27;t just imaging sensors, they&#x27;re active systems that continually adjust to ambient conditions. They do lots of things without us even thinking about it. One of the most important things they do is compensate for white balance. If you look at a white wall when the sun is shining on it during the height of daytime and if you look at the same wall during the middle of the night when it&#x27;s illuminated by artificial light you will perceive it to be the same color in both instances. But in reality it&#x27;s not, when lit by indoor lighting it&#x27;s a very different color, but our eyes&#x2F;vision system automatically adjust for the different spectrum of lighting.<p>The problem is that computer monitors throw a monkey wrench into this because they are independent light sources. White displayed during the day on a computer monitor is #FFFFFF, during the night it&#x27;s still #FFFFFF, but this conflicts with the white balance of the environment. And that conflict causes eye strain and discomfort. At night looking at your monitor you might even perceive white to be slightly bluish, due to the conflicting white balance. By bringing the white balance of your display into harmony with the changing white balance of ambient lighting (as it transitions from natural to artificial) you get rid of a lot of those problems.<p>Hopefully with f.lux adding more configurability into their program they can make people more aware of these benefits regardless of sleep patterns.

There&#x27;s a new trend I&#x27;ve noticed recently in the software industry behind research driven development.. there&#x27;s another link on the frontpage about reading software by a startup called Spritz <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/27/spritz-reading_n_4865756.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.huffingtonpost.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;02&#x2F;27&#x2F;spritz-reading_n_48...</a> that has somehow managed to get &gt;300% improvement on reading speeds just by taking eye scroll out of the equation. I&#x27;m excited that we&#x27;ve reached the point where we&#x27;ve started questioning the fundamentals of our user interfaces, and I&#x27;m surprised how easy the switch over to this next-gen of design has been. I expected the process to resemble the painful switch from Querty to Dvorak, but it&#x27;s been more creative than that.

I&#x27;m slightly confused, are there actually any useful updates to the Windows version or is this just for the mac?

f.lux was basically unusable in its previous version that was tied to sunset. In Toronto, for example, f.lux would start kicking in at 5pm in the winter which is no where near most people&#x27;s bedtimes.<p>My solution was to continually disable it for an hour at a time until I had enough and uninstalled it. Happy to be able to try it out again.

Hmm, I don&#x27;t like this update. I don&#x27;t want flux to be on my schedule. My schedule is bad - that&#x27;s why I use flux. The point of it is to help regulate my own rhythm, not reinforce my bad habits.

You&#x27;re crazy if you don&#x27;t use flux. It&#x27;s incredible. You&#x27;ll sleep better, get less headaches and it helps with eye strain. My only regret is that I can&#x27;t get it on every computing device I own.

The worst part about updating Flux is that you have to quit the currently running version, with the white flash that hurts your eyes.

I had the previous version installed on my mac, and kept seeing sporadic issues with my mouse cursor jumping a couple hundred pixels at once when moving it side to side. Finally disabled F.lux and the problem went away. Anyone know if the new release fixes that issue?

I&#x27;ve been using f.lux for I think about a year. Honestly I think it&#x27;s just a placebo and I haven&#x27;t noticed any real effect. My sleep schedule is terrible. I just feel I should comment because all of the only people commenting are those that did benefit (or at least believe they did.) The comments are not an accurate survey of how many people really did see an effect.

The new version number is 26.0. I’m noting this because when I first tried to install the program by overwriting the version in my Applications folder, it was still my old version (23) that ran for some reason. If you don’t see any difference after installation, open “About f.lux” and make sure you’re on version 26.0.

I am happy with Redshift, as with everyone else finding f.lux on Linux buggy. F.lux is missing the boat on a lot of developers I&#x27;m guessing :) Mac people don&#x27;t work nights anyway, when Starbucks is closed, so I don&#x27;t see the point..

I cannot live without F.lux on Mac and Twilight on Android. Can&#x27;t wait for my orange shades to arrive as I have CFL lights in the kitchen, which I cannot remove and started to supplement with bioidentical melatonin recently. I&#x27;ve been using F.lux since it got released years ago, used Redshift on Ubuntu, and this release finally brings Windows features to Mac and I&#x27;m so happy! I&#x27;ve been ridiculed all this years for my reddish screen and most people ask: &quot;What&#x27;s wrong with your screen?&quot; and they get, &quot;No, what&#x27;s wrong with yours?&quot;.
meryn大约 11 年前
Does anyone else have trouble understanding (or &quot;intuitively reading&quot;) the graph in the f.lux beta preferences? I discovered that&#x27;s a kind of &quot;ego-centric&quot; graph. I mean ego-centric just like there once where earth-centric (and later) helio-centric models of the universe.<p>Because the graph is totally ego-centric, the graph starts when you wake up. I just can&#x27;t wrap my head around that. In my mind, I wake up at a specific clock time, and the universe is configured in a certain way at this particular moment. In particular, the sun has a certain position in the sky. (interestingly, I use an earth-centric model in this regard).<p>What&#x27;s (relatively) constant for me is how the sun moves through the sky (this depends on where you live on earth, plus time of year). Obviously, it&#x27;s beyond my powers to change the time of year. I could change where I live on earth, but I&#x27;m not doing that very often. What&#x27;s directly controlled by me is when I wake and go to bed... Why can&#x27;t I change these positions on an otherwise static &quot;map&quot;?<p>I don&#x27;t want to express the current year as relative to my life either. I.e. three periods: &quot;the time I hadn&#x27;t been born yet&quot;, &quot;the time that I live&quot;, &quot;the time beyond when I died&quot;. It&#x27;s rather insane. Yes, we use Jesus date of birth as a reference point now, you could say that it&#x27;s bad and we should count from a different epoch or so, but at least things are not expressed relative to <i>my</i> life.

I was just turned on to f.lux recently and I can&#x27;t recommend it enough. I find the affects to be really noticeable and positive; working during the night is much less abrasive and I find the transition from screen to bed to be really smooth.<p>I love that something so simple can have such direct, physical ramifications.

I used to sleep in a room on the roof and leave the door open. The sun would be facing me just when it&#x27;s up and I&#x27;d wake up early. It was great.<p>But even when I changed room, I didn&#x27;t close curtains or something, so the sun would directly be in my face when it&#x27;s up, and I&#x27;d wake up and start the day..<p>But a lot of the time, I&#x27;d be up before the sun going up (up by 4h30, work out, take a shower, eat breakfast (steak, eggs, half a liter of milk, some fruits) and start the day. I&#x27;d see people have low battery by 11h00 and I&#x27;d be throbbing with energy until the very last moments when I come home.<p>I drank a RedBull only once in my entire 26 years of existence, and it was only this year. I didn&#x27;t like it.

Is flux &quot;compatible&quot; for people with day job and doing side projects after hours? You want to be sleepy when it&#x27;s time to sleep, but you don&#x27;t want to be sleepy when you&#x27;re working on your exit ticket from bigco.
