I really like this resource: http://www.visual-literacy.org/periodic_table/periodic_table...

Often use it when I need a visualization technique for a presentation.

Anywhere I can look up on their definitions?

It cannot be overstated how much people freakin' love charts.

The more you add the more you'll sell. I don't care what your product is, you should figure out a way to usefully add a graph or a chart.

I have not clicked through to read this article, but I will nevertheless make several attempts to summarize it judging solely from its Hacker News headline:

- If you want to have better sex, try to employ the use of more charts in the bedroom.

- The author unveils a time series chart contrasting his copulation frequency with his masturbation frequency.

- The author is attacked by plain-jane charts everywhere for espousing an impossibly high standard for chart sexiness.

- A JavaScript charting library is so good that it makes the article author want to have sex with the JavaScript library author.

The author seems to be confused about that chart and Tufte.

Yeah, the chart he refers to wasn't Tufte's own it is Minard's presented by Tufte.
