Any reference proving this statement?

That was not my impression when dealing with them as author. Any justification for that?

Indeed, their "typesetting" is mostly done by people with no subject expertise who is more likely to introduce a mistake than correct something that matters.

Indeed, these and other problems exist with author-posted versions, also putting researchers at disadvantage by being less read and cited: https://gitlab.com/publishing-reform/discussion/issues/17

I read from the linked comments: > In addition to basic copy-editing, she prevents crackpot articles such as "Darwin's Theory of Evolution is proven wrong by Trump" from reaching the journal editors and wasting their time.

Ironically, this articles confirms that investing into the no-JS functionality is becoming less and less important, with those major sites already forcing the user into JS. Why then would you invest your time and money to cater to the &quot

Is user email confirmation finally supported by Firebase? Last time I checked it wasn't.

I presume you can still use it with any mobile App wrapped as native e.g. via React Native or Ionic.

In my browser it looks more like '1.25'. And the worst part -- I can't see it in the dev tools! It shows me 'normal' as computed value and I still don't know what it is! Apparently HN is using table layout and

by dmitriz 10y ago
Yes, it is set to `normal`. It is reasonably readable but not excessively reasonably ;) I don't think browser vendors are the right people to blame though. Their job is to give the designer enough control and they mostly succeed or som

They are thinking "most people are too lazy to read, so we need to hold their attention with more images". Unfortunately, they are not thinking to have a button "I want to read, make your images get lost", which would ca

This site does loads fast but it does not have much content either. Plus, the list of articles in the side bar seems to be exactly the same as in the content right next to it, so the useful content is even less ;) Plus the fact that it

Having line-height: 1.6 on HN would go a long way in terms of readability.

Impressive personality. But horrendous choice of colors for the web page. To the point of pain for the eyes just to look at it. Not to mention reading.

Not to mention their massive navbar obscuring the view, and the inability to put text into their images ;) http://cl.ly/2x3m091s3U0D

Despite of their "minimalistic design", Bloomberg still consumes 5+ MB on my mobile connection only to load, with 1+ MB non-cached resources (meaning they will keep consuming bandwidth on every reload).

"ugly or difficult" is certainly subjective matter, but at line-height normal (no extra space between the lines), Hacker News isn't exactly optimised for reading.

The underlined non-links go throughout the article. Mocking someone's bad design is hardly a valid reason for hindering own readers, if the purpose of the article is actually being read. As opposed to being visually admired without rea

I wonder what is Bloomberg's excuse for breaking user affordance by underlining non-links.

Does it also apply to the multiple team accounts with separate logins, or is it regarded a tolerable inconvenience amidst other amazing qualities?
