Ugghh, once again I forgot that HN removes line breaks unless you use double line breaks or indent by 2 spaces, and now it's too late to edit my comment.

@dang People keep running into this. (See e.g. this comment[0] from a few days ago.) It also makes it rather awkward to write lists IMO. What's the reason for removing line breaks and could this be changed?
