Do you mean container margins? The text is left justified and I don't see any difference between that site and HN.


The text is treated with `text-align: justify`, which can look pretty rough in small screen sizes where you have fewer words per line. In my opinion, it both looks bad and hurts readability.


For me it's left justified on desktop but flush justified on mobile (Android Chrome).

The left justified desktop version looks fine, but the flush justified mobile version is kind of ugly.

Oddly enough, even if I select "desktop site" in the Chrome menu on mobile, it is still flush justified.

Web authors: don't use flush justified text. It never helps you, and usually hurts you.

Gosh, as long as I'm nitpicking, here's another one. If I click New Bio, it lists my location as:

PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA

No, no, no! Proper names should never be forced into ALL CAPS. Besides being wrong and ugly, it makes me think you coded the site in COBOL.
