Are you the developer in the founder team or are you also filling the role for CEO and the like?

What's your alternative? Do you already have a plan for this new business?

Wow, are you me? When people ask me if I feel like programming is what I want to do the rest of my life I often reply with "No, I think one day I'll just drop it all and move on the country side". Nice to know I am not the only one :)

grx··on Hackers accessed Telegram messaging accounts in Iran – researchers
Clickbait title. The correct title would be 'Exclusive: Hackers accessed Telegram messaging accounts in Iran - researchers' which itself already hides the fact that the problem lies not with Telegram infrastructure, but the interception of SMS by state telcos.

The only thing that breaks the web is developers who do not care about compatibility and performance. If I would not be harrassed and slowed down on every second hipster page with 1000s of external resources I would consider going back to default-on javascript.

The fact that simple HTML delivery can be remarketed as "AMP" is a joke.

Additionally, from a designing perspective it's a good thing to render the first page statically so it does not need to talk to a backend when the visitor is most likely going to close the page after looking at the landing page.

I know people dislike when I comment on this, but your page is empty when visited with disabled Javascript. So please, if you ever consider putting some more work into it deliver a static info page when JS is disabled!

And btw, when I enabled it (Noscript) the page loaded forever and again did not show anything - but I guess you may get some more visits now that you've linked it here.

Do you have any recommendations for learning resources on this topic? How did you figure out the algorithms?
grx··on Ask HN: Would elite video gamers, given training, be the best military pilots?
Guess so. Given that an enormous amount of work is already in the hands of the on board computers, the only difference I would see are the physical limitations of the pilot's body.

Should've rendered a sky as background :)
grx··on Email the CEO
Not long and the contact will be unusable! I wonder how difficult it is to announce the change of a CEO's mail address.
grx··on Am I hacked? Oh, it's just Vodafone
For complex platforms I may see your point. But what about personal pages or blogs (including hosted like Wordpress)? Why do webdevs even remotely consider publishing an empty webpage in case the client does not run javascript?

What do you think my impression of your website is when all I see is a blank page or an endlessly spinning loading wheel?
