I like that orthagonal suggests that they definitely intersect, but go in two different directions. Unrelated is too harsh in most of the situations you'd use orthagonal.
- tyingq 6y agoAh, yeah, that's true. Though some developers use it without that context to really just mean "unrelated".
- marcosdumay 6y agoWell, orthogonal lines don't have to intersect in in geometry (you just need more than 2 dimensions), and "intersect" is meaningless in algebra. So, I don't think that's really implied.
- NoodleIncident 6y agoCriticizing jargon in the field of programming because it's not used in exactly the same sense as when it's jargon in mathematics is.. weird.
