Impossible to read on mobile, least of all because of the lack of any word breaking.

Seconded. How about we don't write a blog trashing an implementation of something when our own design is missing some very basic accessibility and ux features. Though I agree with the premise, Conda is an absolute pest when you start customising an environment with a number of packages. Dependency resolution hell.

Even on Desktop. When 30% of your page is junk, it makes you wonder about the other 30%...

You might the linked src. https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2024-May/912306.html https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2024-May/91230... [oof, never mind, it's worse in some ways]

How does one even do that? Browsers try quite hard to not break words and make text readable by default.

  The author put "word-break:break-all" on a parent element of the text content, which itself is a <ul> containing <p>, probably for "layout" purposes. Methinks some CSS education is desperately needed.

  The blog author explicitly requested it, with `word-break: break-all`. Now why you would do that … IDK. Weirdly, it's the second post on HN this quarter to do it, from a completely different site. Makes me wonder if there's some viral piece of CSS advice out there …? (And nobody looks at their site…?) Bad LLM output?

I see this on Firefox on desktop too. I usually try not to criticize the presentation of things posted here, but this is completely unreadable. I've tried several times to get through the first couple paragraphs, but it's just not worth the extra mental effort.

I gave up after a few lines. Why would you do this?
