Low-contrast font color and unreadable texts? To hell with them!
> This isn't subjective or aesthetics, it's an objective measurement.
I’m going to push back against this slightly (I’m not disagreeing that the HN contrast is bad, but I am challenging the WCAG ratios). It’s objective, but it’s not a good measurement. WCAG computes contrast in sRGB, which is not perceptually uniform. As such there are cases where WCAG will give better scores to worse contrast.

It’s the biggest thing I wish would be changed in WCAG.

APCA (WCGA 3.0) does not allow for 14px font to be used as a regular base
The APCA color calculator is still in progress and WCAG 3.0 is still a working draft, so its guidelines are not in place. The purpose of the changes are so that color contrast will focus on perceived color instead of a more simple algorithm that can mess up in some cases: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/695

Does anyone follow WCAG's typography guidelines to the letter?
This came up in my work recently. Here’s a possibly helpful thread if you’re looking at a mobile app: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1510

The Database Inside Your Codebase
Just because you find it readable does not mean others can; also, color contrast is not the only thing that affects readability. In this case, the issue is font weight.
Here's some discussion on the issue: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/665

Ask HN: Does anyone know the idiot decided gray txt on white bg was a good ideea
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.
