You video guys work different.

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago

I only find videos useful if I’m trying to figure out something that’s procedural. Seeing the procedures and steps done in front of me helps me grasp the concept much faster than text.

For just information though, text is golden and video is a waste of time.

Depends on field. Some ~~meth~~ math and programming stuff exists only in PDF. Try find videos on Bounding Interval Hierarchy. At least there are decent videos on BSP trees

PDFs break my brain. It's 2024. Unless you truly intend for something to be primarily and only read in print why use PDF? And I know everybody is able to host HTML because usually everyone is grabbing these PDFs from a webpage.

Unless you want to force readers into reading in browser, you should use PDF.

If it's not something I expect people to read in a print format I'm absolutely willing to do that.

I must be a dinosaur because for most things I am looking up I want concise textual information. I'll look for videos to explain larger complicated concepts

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago

Sure, video has it's place. I was just wondering that some people get their info primarily from video. Guess it's something with abstraction vs. imagination.

If it's something like taking apart hardware, videos are great because there are a lot of little details that it's hard to capture in even a picture.
