For anyone else who's suffering, paste this in the console in devtools:

  document.getElementsByTagName('main')[0].style.margin = '0 auto';

I’m surprised to see such a reaction to a left-aligned content column. I’d have said it was pretty common, though probably not as common as it used to be.

If I were to pick one problem with the presentation, it would rather be the font-size (12px is unequivocally too small), or the use of monospace (simply unsuitable for body text).

And incidentally, HN suffers from two of these three problems.

When it was common, columns weren't so thin I think
