Side note: your comment is one of the few times I've seen the code tag used for actual code on HN, rather than quotations or just indentation.

- Bromskloss 9y agoYeah, why does Hacker News not have a real way to indent things? It wouldn't make loading the page any less light-weight.
- labster 9y agoSeriously. I can't go a week in HN without reading someone's complaint about not being able to read a quote, probably on mobile. If users keep complaining regularly, it's a problem with the software interface, not the users.
- nether 9y agoI emailed dang about it a while (years) ago. He said he's added it to the fix list, after initially saying that having a quote tag would mess up the site's "character." You may want to email him too.
- lolreally1 9y agoI fail to see how a quote tag would drive away the throngs of Silicon Valley elites, people who begin sentences with “I’m not an expert, but...”, hardcore Randians, and Paul Graham sycophants.
- sspiff 9y agoAnd yet here you are, on the site whose users you are attacking, commenting on an off-topic comment thread. Perhaps you should rethink your life choices?
- technofiend 9y agoYou forgot the folks who turn every article on the latest Google phone into a discussion on Apple products. See the latest posting about the Pixel 2 as an example.
- cup-of-tea 9y agoNobody said anything about mobile. Am I missing something?

- baxtr 9y agoTrue, and unfortunately it does not render it properly, it‘s cut after 20 chars or so

- neikos 9y agoYou should be able to scroll it.
- baxtr 9y agoThanks, you’re right. I wasn’t aware of that. The experience is rather crappy though. Cumbersome to scroll on a smartphone screen and I’d love to see to entire statement not parts of only at a time.
- KGIII 9y ago> dna = ''.join(random.choices('atgc', weights=[30.9, 29.4, 19.9, 19.8], k=3_234_830_000)) On a tablet, I highlight and pull down. It grabs it all and I can then read it. It is a very awful workaround that impacts the site's usability.
