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?

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".
