I disagree with the author. I know he's incredibly successful and right about pretty much everything he's ever said, but I've had some experience in this area and just finished reading through some of the archives and I think his focus is wrong. I'm going to ignore the technical issue and talk about the bigger picture and higher level things than what was said in the blog post. If the OP thinks that the process is mo…

> tangential statement I'm honestly really curious about this. Could you elaborate?

Yes, I can elaborate, however, this information should have been taught to you by the age of 2. Silly HN.

  A tangent is simply a line that touches a non-linear curve (like a circle) at only a single point. It represents an equation with the relationship between the coordinates “x” and “y” on a two-dimensional graph.

  The tangential velocity is the measurement of the speed at any point tangent to a rotating wheel in a circular motion. Thus angular velocity, ω, is related to the tangential velocity, Vt, through the formula. Tangential velocity is the component of the motion along the edge of a circle measured at any arbitrary point of time. As per its name, tangential velocity describes the motion of an object along the edge of the circle, whose direction at any given point on the circle is always along the tangent to that point.

Unrealistic. Not a single person complained about link not working with JavaScript disabled.

Since it was missing there I realized how am I overusing '[-]' instead of scrolling. Like Tarzan swing on vines. (Also is this relavant or am I just piggy-backing your top comment?)

Wow. I just realized the [-] feature. This changes everything about HN!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or back button hijack

Off-topic aside, but why do people complain about back-button hijack when you can long-press or right-click and get out of the site? It works on any browser AIUI.

Why do sites do a back-button hijack if it’s possible to use the long-press menu-select feature?

Because it’s nowhere near equally convenient or standard to do so.
