cipher0··on Noise Protocol Framework
Reading "I am a cryptographer" got me wary, looking back at your comments, I see that you did this multiple times before and I've tried looking you up but I couldn't find anything that substantiates that claim, I've looked also for publications and couldn't find any so I am curious, what are your credentials?
cipher0··on GLAVE: A debugger for the Vulkan API
It appears to have some inspiration from VOGL https://github.com/ValveSoftware which is Valve's OpenGL debugger.
cipher0··on Ask HN: What startups are working on hard, technically challenging problems?
I see. Nitpicks: - The twitter icon on the top right points to @spiritplumber which has the name of a "Linda Camezon", a standard issue avatar and only 1 tweet which doesn't signify anything. - The text at the bottom of the website (in green) is unreadable given the background. - I couldn't find a careers section or the location of the company. - The videos are not professionally produced which gives the feel of an amateur effort not an established company.

cipher0··on Show HN: Piste.io
Great work! It might be cool if you could use voronoi diagrams to select the closest path to the mouse's position like the NYT did [0] because without really zooming in, the lines on some terrains appear to be very thin which makes hovering over a specific one a little harder.

There's also a great talk that discusses this from JSconf2014 [1]

cipher0··on Microsoft OCR Library for Windows Runtime

cipher0··on Why Racket? Why Lisp?

cipher0··on Show HN: Omive – Find movies based on genre, rating, directors and more
I was contemplating working on something similar due to my frustration with not remembering which episode I watched last of something, thanks!

[Edit] The website has "keep track of all the movies and TV series you have seen" in the list of features but I wasn't able to add a show and check off episodes as I expected when I read that.

cipher0··on Master Emacs in one year
There's also uzbl which is a browser that natively supports vi-like browsing http://www.uzbl.org/ but beware, there were some bugs with the TLS validation process iirc, not sure if they're fixed yet.

Great recommendations, some people might also find this interesting as a general guideline to "Data science" http://nirvacana.com/thoughts/becoming-a-data-scientist/

[edit] scroll down and look at the map.
