tsunamifury on HNVery useful! Just a very small nitpick (not something you should lose your sleep over at all) - upon navigating to a link and then clicking browser back button doesn't take me…
shad0wfax on HNGreat! When I was reading hiring post today I was just thinking that something like this will be very helpful. Just one thing is missing: sorting by city.

Objections
Scrolling on iPad feels wrong or unusable
From 2 comments
Looks good but the scrolling on iPad feels really wrong. So much so that it actually bothered me and I had to stop. Actually a very weird sensation - like nails on a chalk board…
meta on HNInteresting, but scrolling in my iPad was unusable, so I didn't really want to dig into it.

Android stock browser cannot scroll past the left nav
From 1 comment
Awesome, thanks! Unfortunately, am on the stock Android browser, and it won't let me scroll down past the length of the left hand nav menu. Not sure why, but can look at your css…

Something I wish the actual thread had, that would be great in this is sorting by posted date (aka latest posted, etc...)

Why do companies prefer full-time hires over contractors?
From 1 comment
Does anyone know why companies mostly want to hire full-time coders instead of freelancers/consultants/contractors?
