egeozcan··on On The <dl> (2021)
I always thought the DL as a single row of a table.

In Germany, it's still not uncommon to hear Yava and YavaScript.
egeozcan··on Gemini CLI will stop working from June 18, 2026
AFAICT it's practically a name-change. Why can't they alias, does it for some reason have an API difference?

IMHO you cannot base your trust on something that is so easy to work around.

Trust should be between people, not a person and some data.

So showing how easy to generate "false" data, this makes it more obvious for people focus on other people. Trusting people makes life much easier in my experience, while focusing on data, again in my experience, is a game of cat and mouse.

egeozcan··on The River Otter's Remarkable Comeback
The main character of the stories I tell my son is an otter. They are very cute and resilient animals, was surprised to hear that they were, too, once endangered.

There are also some YouTube channels that share the days of some otters in captivity, not sure about how I feel about that.

My father who owns an electric car (I don't) told me that the increased torque eats away the tires much faster. Not sure how connected to the reality that is.
egeozcan··on Neanderthals ran 'fat factories' 125k years ago (2025)
Doesn't outcompete include murder? We are a very tribal species, and the history is full of genocides and mass murders, so from a very uneducated viewpoint, this sounds reasonable.

If not that, is it that we depleted the resources they depended on?

egeozcan··on Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
Codex randomly stops working because some silly cybersecurity detector. Insane amount of false positives. Last time it happened, I was just letting it write me a small tool to translate the text in my clipboard. What cybersecurity? Code wasn't even published, or remotely like anything hacking related. I'm always letting AI write some boring CRUD tools that I don't want to code myself.

It's bordering on being useless.

egeozcan··on Noctua releases official 3D CAD models for its cooling fans
You may find it hard to believe, but I honestly didn't realize this as I was typing :)
egeozcan··on Noctua releases official 3D CAD models for its cooling fans
Yes, by no means did I comment to take away from the great service they are doing to the builders. I'm a Noctua fan!

I was just curious.

egeozcan··on Noctua releases official 3D CAD models for its cooling fans
> To protect our intellectual property, certain features – such as fan impeller geometries – have been slightly modified while remaining visually very close to the actual product.

Noob question: If someone wants to copy their design with no respect to their intellectual property, can't they just 3D scan?

egeozcan··on I Forgot to Code
I can code (I know because I recently needed to dive and make changes in a codebase where no LLM was allowed to), it just feels pointless writing any CRUD-stuff or silly re-implementations of common algorithms, so much that I literally cannot bring myself to doing it. Leetcode feels especially pointless.

Yes I can write some algorithmic code, and I can also calculate and sometimes even improve the computational complexity of some complex code!

However, I accepted the fact that LLMs can do these better than me and would rather show my skills in the bigger picture stuff.

Maybe I won't be able to code after 60 months? Only time will tell.

egeozcan··on Statecharts: hierarchical state machines
I had used (and would gladly still use) XState, without even knowing about what "statecharts" even means.

I used it with lit.js to help with a drawer-like navigation component that reacts to page width and has many props and internal states. I can't even think how horrible it'd have been without XState. Thank you very much!

I really like it. Recommended.

egeozcan··on Vercel April 2026 security incident
Self fulfilling prophecy: You don't need to secure anything because it doesn't make a difference, as Mythos is not just a delicious Greek beer, but also a super-intelligent system that will penetrate any of your cyber-defenses anyway.

egeozcan··on Claude Opus 4.7
Even superpowers started dividing things into "phases".

"I think we can postpone this to phase 2 and start with the basics".

Meanwhile using more tokens to make a silly plan to divide tasks among those phases, complicated analysis of dependency chains, deliverables, all that jazz. All unprompted.

egeozcan··on RedSun: System user access on Win 11/10 and Server with the April 2026 Update
I wonder why Windows Defender has the privilege to alter the system files. Read them for analysis? Sure! Reset (as in, call some windows API to have it replaced with the original), why not? But being able to write sounds like a bad idea.

However, I don't know what I'm talking about so take it with a grain of salt!

egeozcan··on The Deepfake Nudes Crisis in Schools Is Worse Than You Thought
Perhaps they observe being "pure", and "clean" valued too much, and they see again and again the people who had their sex tapes leaked getting bad publicity. Perhaps that's why cannot report it? I remember Sibel Kekilli's German family (of Turkish origin, exactly like me) disowning her because someone found some porn movie of her. Also this:

> In 2017, Kekilli blocked her Instagram account from being accessed in Turkey, saying that users from that country had sent a multitude of abusive and threatening messages.

and this:

> A discussion has been trending on X (formerly Twitter) after a post featuring side-by-side images of Sibel Kekilli from the early 2000s and her later look in the popular series Game of Thrones. The caption read, “She was once a p** star, but HBO gave her the role anyway,” which has garnered close to 10 million views.

from https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/inter...

Why should that even matter? So you can see her naked online... So what?! I'm reading "Sluts" from Beth Ashley, and she identifies these patterns perfectly in todays world even when they're not obvious.

Males too, they value being tough too much so they don't report abuse. One example is Chester Bennington (may he rest in peace):

> Bennington was afraid to ask for help, not wanting people to think he was gay or a liar, and the abuse continued until age 13

I have a son, and I would be devastated if I couldn't give my son the courage to report something like this. I'm thankful that in this day and age, the "gay" stigma is much less pronounced (like 0 in this wonderful country called Germany). That said, we still have a lot to do though!

So how do we solve this without making porn and nudity nothing sacred? I remember first coming to Germany and people being confused because I was too shy to change my clothes in the male changing room together. Then I realized... Everyone is naked, why should I be ashamed?

egeozcan··on The Deepfake Nudes Crisis in Schools Is Worse Than You Thought
I'm a parent, and all I can think as a solution is devalue nudity. I'm not saying we should all walk around naked, but make sure children understand the human body earlier, any why we wear clothes, the values, customs, without the stigma. Makes it also easier to teach what's okay and what's not, and if someone does something "not okay", they are easier to identify as the ones responsible. Fake or real, a nude photo should give no control to anyone.

It's extremely easy to do all sorts of weird things with AI, all local. Controlling that means controlling the hardware, something none of us wants, and it will get only easier, I suppose. So, doing what I said earlier becomes even easier if these stuff gets automatically devalued by commoditization.

I'm not saying I know better than people who want restrictions, and I'm not trying to offer yet another "ban all bans" opinion, I just don't see any other realistic solution. There are however many other people much more knowledgeable than me in these matters, so, maybe I'll be positively surprised.

egeozcan··on Someone Bought 30 WordPress Plugins and Planted a Backdoor in All of Them
I'm sorry but does this have anything to do with npm? I just skimmed the article so maybe I missed it. So wordpress doesn't use npm, it doesn't even use composer, therefore this comment feels a bit disconnected. Maybe that's why?

This must be a Chrome thing, not an Android thing, no? I didn't test this but I'd be surprised if Firefox behaved the same.

egeozcan··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
I made Claude build me a web app to come up with anagrams: https://github.com/egeozcan/anagramci

I'm now having immense fun trying to come up with anagrams to whole sentences in Turkish.

I guess you could even automate finding anagrams (there are even web sites which allow you to do so), but Turkish agglutination makes it so much fun, and you can make really creative ones manually.

Once upon a time I even had made a tumblr to share what I found: https://sacmanagram.tumblr.com/ (also Turkish).

egeozcan··on Pro Max 5x quota exhausted in 1.5 hours despite moderate usage
The value is all the things I built with it? Surely, this constant change deteriorates the experience but to be clear, here we're nitpicking on the experience, not questioning the value.

I also don't understand the "pro-AI" phrase. It's a tool, it brings results. I'm not pro-car when I drive to work.

This exact thing is happening to me since yesterday. It comes back to life when I throw the whole session away.
