- leeoniya 13y agobeen there, tried that. ended up just using some basic css rules to keep it from crawling apart to 1080p :( @namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml); @-moz-document domain("news.ycombinator.com") { body > center > table {max-width: 960px;} .default {padding-right: 22px;} textarea {width: 100%;} form {padding-right: 18px;} } = less eye strain
- whytables 13y agoActually this has been asked here before and pg himself did answer the question [1] (you may have to scroll a little to see pg's response). pg also argues in one of his essays [2] that tables are the (lisp) lists of html, being very dynamic and flexible which is perfect for explanatory programming despite being unclear (in its purpose/structure) sometimes.
