The font colors on that page, especially in the code snippets are so low contrast that I can hardly read it. It's a topic I'm interested in but the styling is keeping me from reading it.

I know that there are bookmarklets, etc, which will make it readable, but the author should take note.

It's a brand new design, and I haven't seen it on all screens yet. What OS/type of monitor?

Eitherway, I just increased the contrast on all content areas :)

Side note: I like it when authors include a link the the HN discussions(when they are apart of the community) in their article so I don't bookmark both. So thanks :)

I find that the discussions on HN are always better than having comments on the blog itself... Also it means I don't have to curate comments on the blog.

Basically it just feeds into my being lazy ;)

The author could run it past http://www.accesskeys.org/tools/color-contrast.html to check accessibility information.

Is there ANYTHING out there that does not consist of jumping through 15 different install hoops to get a stupid page up on a screen?

really? is it that FUCKING HARD?

Now I install this, now I use that library, now I download that, but to use THAT, I need THIS, so wget this, Now I install that, that and this

still no freakin 2 bit screen

Now I install this, but for that I need homebrew schmoppa ichenwald library no. 2 Now I get that library, that one, not THAT one because of that one line, Now ... I open an editor Now I install that ...

Still 3 modules away Now I download this and change this bit in the configuration Now I download THAT awesome library that goes with that awesome snippet that needs 13 other libraries.

ARRRRGGGGH!!!! All wanted was a screen with 10 fucking buttons each attached to a fucking handler that does some simple shit.

This is why women don't go into computing anymore. They refuse to masturbate to stupid shit like this ... complexity ain't computation boys!
