if you can't get 80 columns in your viewport you need to go back to 1974 and start using 80c wide punchcards.

- erikpukinskis 11y agoThis may blow your mind, but I code in 40 columns. By choice. It's amazing.
- easytiger 11y agoonly if you write in APL is this acceptable
- erikpukinskis 11y agoI write in JavaScript.
- vetinari 11y agoNot everyone is reading on the computer all the time. Try using phone and you will get his point.
- easytiger 11y agoI do use a phone. 80c wide is fine.
- vetinari 11y agoTwo pictures: http://imgur.com/a/pu4ii http://imgur.com/a/pu4ii The first one has text size comfortable for reading, but it is not 80c. The second one fits the width of the text, but is not fine by any stretch of imagination. (The device has 5.2" display).
- e12e 11y agoI get at least 109 characters in my viewport (eg: your full post above). I get about 50 characters in the <pre>-box that hn helpfully renders for code/blocks.
