Wait, fine? It's catastrophically unusable in landscape on iPad without Reader View. The limited-to-landscape side scrolling gimmick covers pretty much the entire top of the article, which flickers in and out at display refresh rate if I scroll back and forth to try to read the content underneath. I can't read anything until the graf that starts with "FiveThirtyEight analyzed" on the latest iOS.

I'd say the commentary is fair, since it's a good explainer for how one can harm UX very quickly when changing the semantics of scrolling and a reminder of the importance of testing across all platforms and orientations. Yes, this happens a lot on HN. Often, a discussion about how to fix it comes about, and we all learn something. I would guess you know that, though.
