The website seems to have a bug with syntax highlighting. Pieces of code included in the post text are black, you can still see the actual text if you select it with your mouse. Same bug on Chrome desktop and on Safari on iPad
Thanks for reporting. I fixed the error as soon as I read your comment.
This is the classic example of why you should always set the foreground color when changing the background color. Otherwise you end up with <code> blocks that are black-on-black. It probably works fine if your browser is in dark mode.
A workaround is to open one of the code elements in the browser's debugger and add color: white to the :not(pre) > code style.
MacOS Chrome? The code blocks look fine to me in linux {firefox, chromium, brave}. I think they're all using Qt.
Now, it looks fine to me too. I tested it in Chrome,Firefox, Safari on macOS and on Safari on an iPad yesterday when I wrote my comment and in all cases there were black lines all over the the place. The author corrected the problem, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48855382
Looks fine to me in Chrome on Mac.
I get this on both FF and Chrome.
My first thought was that the article was redacted lol
