  Also, things that should be rock solid and dirt simple by now have actually gotten more fragile over time. Heck, just look what happened when the parent tried to write the current year, after successfully expressing an older two decade range ;) 2016 was a total mistake. Let's just revert, and then wait for 2020-LTS.

  As a reader of a website, I usually primarily care about what the page looks like when it's rendered, as opposed to how clean the HTML is. Granted, the current trend to make everything feel like a shitty JavaScript application would be taking it too far, but lwn.net is definitely not a pleasure to read. Yes, it displays "just fine" in links, lynx, elinks, etc., if your definition of "just fine" is Fefe's Blog.

      For the non german speaking crowd, CSS reset: https://blog.fefe.de/?css= https://blog.fefe.de/?css= This is how it looks if you visit the site without a CSS cookie.

  You don't really have to make it look "current" to make it better. I think a good example is antirez blog: http://antirez.com/latest/0 http://antirez.com/latest/0 It's clean, very simple and renders fine in everything, even mobile. No distracting content, proper font and font spacing.

    And has terrible contrast on the main page content's text making it hard to read if you have poor eyesight, poor light conditions or a poor monitor. This would probably fail a basic Universal Accessibility test based on that alone.

      I don't like low-contrast sites, but on my monitor that one is stark black-and-white. In fact there are no CSS rules for the color, and the font stack is "Inconsolata, Courier" so I don't know what the issue could be.

      Not seeing what you're describing either.

      What are you talking about? The text on that page is pure black (rgb(0,0,0)) on pure white (rgba(0,0,0,0)). You literally can't get more contrast without coloring either the text or the background. This contrast circlejerk is getting incredibly annoying.

      It's black and white on my MBP (Chrome). Maybe your browser is the one messing it up.

  Oh, I'll bite. It took me 15 minutes and 44 lines of CSS to make it look significantly more 2010s (and dare I say it, more readable): http://i.imgur.com/LAhwht5.png http://i.imgur.com/LAhwht5.png

    I prefer serif fonts, but that looks nice enough.
