I had the opposite experience, although I would have preferred it just a teeny bit smaller. Coming back to read long lines on HN is quite awkward.
There's a reason I limit my source lines to 78 columns too. Well, many reasons if you consider 80x25. :-)
- Chris_Newton 13y agoFYI, you can get a plug-in such as Stylish for a lot of browsers that will let you override styles for specific sites. For lightly formatted discussion sites that I visit often, I typically set a font and a (max-)width for comments and related material that I find comfortable. For HN, I personally set a max-width of 700px on .comment and pre blocks, to go with fonts of around 18px. If anyone new to Stylish wants the exact overrides I use to paste in verbatim, feel free to ask and I’ll look them up.
