I totally forgot about the atrocious default HN theme. Yeah that's unreasonable, unreadable. A low-contrast light theme is literally equivalent to shining a flashlight in your eyes. Only unreasonable people do that to others (e.g. the police).

If you use Firefox, I recommend the Dark Reader[1] extension for taking care of all the websites that insist on destroying your eyes. It makes HN have a nice brown color that's easy on the eyes.
