Google projekt zero website is the ONLY website which frequently get featured on HN that I cannot read on my iphone. Safari, Firefox or Edge are all rendering the page with horizontal scrollbars. I can use 2 finger zoom in and then a third finger to move the content around. At that point I cannot see the screen for my fingers and have problems holding my phone in my hands.

It seems to be using the default simple blogger theme so there's probably no point of…
> C-style programming in C++ is also a bad sign; the IOBuffer design pattern with separate storage of buffers and their sizes is inherently dangerous. This the main take away. Even when writing C, just prefer safe libraries to default strings and arrays, when possible. By the way, MSR is hiring for Checked C.
