Finally some insight into CSS after twenty years
- djalbat 6y agoHmm, I can't see an active link in the title so here it is in plaintext: http://djalbat.com http://djalbat.com

And it's discussing CSS, which is used to control things like font sizes, layout and colour schemes. Sorry. But I really don't get it. Is it supposed to be satire or something?
- djalbat 6y agoNope, no satire. The seeming lack of any discernible styling on my homepage is intentional (in fact there is a little, but still). I don't want to detract from the content. The paragraph font size is sixteen pixels, by the way, which is pretty standard and happens to be four pixels more than this site, which I assume you can read just fine.

Your font size is smaller than HN's on my laptop. HN's font-size isn't defined in pixels, it's 10pt [9pt in places] which is rendering at 18px on my laptop. Even that's a wee bit smaller than I'd like. And on my 7" tablet I have to zoom the text on HN too, as it's unreadably small. In these days of mobile devices and so-called 'retina' displays, it's not a good idea to define font sizes in pixels or points. Much better to use EM and REM
