Obligatory HN comment about the mobile site being bad:

It's almost impressive how bad it is on my phone.

The content takes up 2/3 of the page horizontally to make room for the logo on the side.

I get GNU and it's culture are less about mobile and more about *nixy desktops/laptops/servers, but it takes more effort to break things like this than letting the browser do it's natural thing most of the time.

The website probably predates the mobile era and no one has bothered to rewrite it since.

Eh. It has viewport meta tags and the apple app icon markup.

But you're probably still right, I'm sure at some point they just peppered those into all their pages to fix them at least a tiny bit.
