cagataygurturk··on Why Snapchat Spectacles failed
Maybe it‘s because they released sunglasses in November. I don‘t know California but here in developed Europe nobody buys sunglasses nowadays, because there is no sun.

cagataygurturk··on How to Murder a Byzantine Emperor
This tradition originates from shamanic times in Asia. According to belief, emperors were shadows of the god (which is sky) and some respect(!) was needed when an emperor was murdered. The very same tradition can be also seen in Mongols. See the death of Jamukha: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamukha

cagataygurturk··on Ask HN: What are the Madrid and Barcelona tech scenes like?
I moved to Berlin after living in BCN for many years.

In Berlin there are beaches but of course they are not comparable to south (actually they have a different taste) But at least now I can afford a couple of times per year going to BCN and enjoy the city more than I used to. Barcelona was like honeymoon for me. In the beginning it was so good but once I was there for a couple of years everything lost its taste.

I was fluent in Catalan and Spanish from day 0 (well Catalan came a bit later) and have never been in expat bubble. I know that expat community enjoys more. But when you are involved in the local community you see that in Spain economical and political issues make people unhappy there. They won't say you that because even they can't recognize how much they are complaining about their life. This sucked my energy. Yes, weather is nice and all those mediterrean stuff looks so interesting but you can't eat sun and sand. I was personally looking for being productive but unfortunately Spain was not somewhere you can build stuff like you can do in the north. When I realized that I was wasting one of my most productive years, I simply moved on. If not I would have regretted 30 years later.

I think until you are 30 you should have lived there, definetely one of the best places to be young but if you want to have a good future, good career etc. you'll need to spend the rest of your life in a more developed economy of Europe, of course then you can come and buy your house in Costa Brava and die there once you are retired,

cagataygurturk··on How do self-taught developers get jobs? (2016)
I want to highlight the difference between people who are self-thaught programmer but with engineering/math/etc. degree and people without any technical education. From what I see for engineers the life is easier even they did not study CS.
cagataygurturk··on Why Germany Educates International Students for Free
Why learning German is a big issue? These are young people who can learn a language easily and in the beginning nobody expects you so high proficiency and people will always help and encourage you to learn the language. In Europe many educated folks know min 2 languages more and very open to learn more, you just need to leave your comfort zone. Learning languages also develops intellectually.
cagataygurturk··on Ask HN: How do you gain weight?

cagataygurturk··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Vagrant for development environments?
Well, like you know how to tell your problem to computers, those experts know how to tell your problem to human beings. And higher you are in your career, more you have to speak non-tech people that pays your salary and needs to be convinced about your next idea.
cagataygurturk··on Ask HN: Alternatives to Vagrant for development environments?
I recommend you to take a presentation training from domain experts (mainly physchologists) and you'll understand how wrong you are.
cagataygurturk··on Migrating your site to HTTPS may be a bad idea
Google announced that in a near future http sites would be marked as non-secure by default. Also HTTP/2 is the future and requires HTTPS. I don’t know why one would propagate the idea of staying at HTTP in this circumstance.

In Roman Law, legal precendents are one of the sources of the law system. If there is no explicit regulation about a matter, It is recommended that Judges apply other Judges' decisions. If two Judges at the same level decides differently, the matter is solved in higher courts.
cagataygurturk··on A very long way from home: early Byzantine finds at the far ends of the world
Another related historical fact: After Ottomans conquered Constantinople they started to copy Hagia Sophia's architecture to build their mosques. Therefore still the architecture of mosques in old Ottoman lands is similar to Byzantine while the architecture in other muslim world (North Africa, Asia etc.) is pretty different. Ottomans positioned themselves basically as the muslim version of Byzantines. Actually the root of Ottoman Classical Music (now called as Turkish Classical Music) goes to Byzantine music.
