When I opened this post, I saw it was much wider than any post I have seen on hackernews. I tried looking into the css, I thought it was somehow different, for whatever reason.
I could not find anything and then I encountered your comment. Apparently, your unbreakable long word makes the site very wide.
I didn't know comments can affect how wide the page borders are. Is this not bad UI? I am unsure who to ask.
- asadhaider 6y ago@dang There is a contact link in the footer too, you know. But yeah, seems like bad UI. I would have thought overflow-wrap would be set on posts.

- yuliyp 6y agoSorry about that. I didn't think about the overflow effects. Alas I can't edit the post now.
- dang 6y agoIt's a bug. If anyone can figure out how to fix it without breaking something else, it would be great to hear about that at hn@ycombinator.com. My CSS is too meagre. I've added whitespace to the GP comment now.
