As you can see, you cannot see the text because the GitHub formatting cuts it off.
Webdesign with fixed width results inappropriate usability. When the design cuts off content the desing is plain broken. In this case the design does not actually cut off content because there is a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom but its usability is bad. FYI: For comparison and fun, see http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ ;-)
If not "80 columns", what rule should we use, if any?
For me https://github.com/SUSE/style-guides/blob/master/Ruby.md looks perfectly reasonable: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For every rule there is a situation when it makes sense to break it. ... Wrap lines at 80 columns. This is not a hard rule... (e.g. you are embedding a long URL). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There cannot be hardcoded tests for "rules" that are not hard rules because any hardcoded test would be an annoyance when it falsely complains about situations where it makes sense to break the rules. Even if a hardcoded test would only complain about lines > 200 chars, that test would be an annoyance for all fixed strings > 200 chars like long URLs, long paths, long IDs, and so on.
