There's something funny to me about the idea that the user-level Git commands are called the "porcelain," as if they were a toilet. https://stackoverflow.com/a/

- thiht 4y ago> I wish people would stop insisting on using full-width columns to display their blog content because it is nearly impossible to read on a 27" monitor. There's a noticeable portion of tech people who seem to believe that unused screen space is somehow wasted. No margins + no line breaks is the gold standard to them. I don't get it, it's unreadable to me.

- aaronbrethorst 4y agoPlease tell me about how you will replace me with a very small shell script next.

- phist_mcgee 4y agoThe idea that everyone wraps semantic content in their own UI is ludicrous and does not bear out in the real world. I didn't tell the browser to do anything, it's the website owner's job to ensure their content is legible for small devices up to large devices. source.

- drdec 4y agoI think that we have seen that in the real world, not every website is going to support your particular workflow. So you can be practical, and apply the very simple workaround, or you can continue to tell the void how wrong those people are. Personally I think that your expectations put unreasonable burdens on websites which may not be run by large businesses with big budgets. Niche forums and blogs run by regular people as a labor of love shouldn't be expected to have to devote a lot of resources to be accepted on the web.
