Can you drop the scrolljacking on your site? I spun my mousewheel and I went halfway down the page. Usually I instantly jump ship in these cases (even when the header is a Playboy centrefold. Priorities, priorities...)
I really want to see dang doing the "detached and flagged" thing on these pissant comments about scrolljacking, JavaScript, contrast ratios, etc. especially as the top comment to an author making themself available to discuss a technical article on convnets!
> A reader emailed to complain about how this and other HN discussions often become derailed by off-topic carping about blog design. I agree completely. Could there be a more classic form of bikeshedding? It would seem parodic if it weren't sadly real. This has become more of a thing on HN lately. It needs to become less of a thing.
I don't know why some websites hijack scroll events. What are they trying to achieve? A better scrolling experience? Almost every time, it makes it a lot more frustrating.
Browsers have options to disable smooth scrolling for a reason. Please don't force it back on.
fwiw I have the same content on my personal blog which shouldn't do anything with your scrolling http://ryancompton.net/2016/04/19/what-convolutional-neural-...
Your personal blog is much more readable, thanks :)
