Computer Science 'Ninja Arts'

• afandian 14y ago
  Is one of the five computer science ninja arts making a website that is completely blank (like, literally nothing) with JavaScript disabled?

    Others seem to include hijacking the back button. Could people linking to such sites please include a warning in the title so we can avoid them?

      Also, I can't scroll the page on my android phone. Anyone care to copy/paste the text?

        Text here http://pastebin.com/vjyHG1aH http://pastebin.com/vjyHG1aH I don't really like to take traffic away from a site but that is horribly designed. I could only scroll with PGUP/DN due to the stupid control bar to the right.

          This sucky design is further-reaching - it's part of all Blogger sites. There's no way to drop to a sensible version either IIRC.

            Is that the Google offering? I'm surprised that Google of all people would make something with such a poor concept.

  I've never seen a worse layout for mobile viewing. Viewing on my iPhone reduces the content div to a mini scrolling box that immediately had me close the page.

  As far as I can tell, this isn't a website, it's just an animated logo.

  If "hack" is the meaningless omniverb of HN, "ninja" has got to be one of its meaningless omniadjectives.

  Sorry to interrupt the bitching about the UI of the website, but... I would nominate a working familiarity with: Non-trivial graph algorithms Serious distributed systems design (ie. building something where anything and everything can fail at any time, possibly in nasty or even byzantine fashion) Formal methods Optimization methods (ILP and so on) Binary decision diagrams as some other "ninja arts" if we're going to have to use the term "ninja".
