And here I was suddenly feeling older, slightly squinting at the page, wondering if the text was always that small.

Sorry guys, didn't expect that to happen. @dang it can be fixed by adding `word-break: break-all;` to the `a` tag for .storylink class.

  moderators dont typically monitor the comments for their name (although sometimes they do). if youd like to help, im sure theyd love to hear from you at hn@ycombinator.com

    I might be wrong but I think dang does monitor his name. I have mentioned him a few times and he swings by. Maybe just coincidence. I did email him too.

      It was just coincidence :) - but I did just see your email.

        Any idea why this post was flagged?

        Possibly because it borked the layout, possibly because it's not necessarily a substantive post. This exact type of submission (long unbroken class name from some codebase somewhere) has been made a number of times in the past too—little is new!

  Ok, let's try that. Thanks for the suggestion! All: if it breaks anything, would you please let us know? (j/k you guys would never not let us know)

    works well for me so far!

    Most titles now have unnecessary line breaks, in the middle of words. From the front page: “A world first: Ocean drone captures video f[break]rom inside a hurricane” “DMV approves Cruise and Waymo for com[break]mercial service in parts of Bay Area” “Facebook Thrives on Criticism of “Disinfor[break]mation”” (I’m using iOS Safari.)

      Ah yes. I knew we'd tried this before! Reverting...

    You want break-word, not break-all. The latter breaks short words unnecessarily.

      Ok, let's try that and see what it breaks :) Edit: done now. I can't shake the feeling that we've been through all this before, and that's why I ended up resorting to whitespace tricks in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20352144 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20352144. But let's wait and see what's broken now...
