About get

I would like to build a solution that makes it easy to find apartments with a view. If you want to get in touch, mail me at getnothingless@outlook.com

    As I said, my password has not been used anywhere else. haveibeenpwned.com comes back empty for it.

    GitHub logged me out of my account because of "password reuse"

    So I have been using GitHub for quite a while. When I tried to log in a couple of days ago, it told me my password is wrong. Which is impossible. I remember it. I wrote it down. It…

    Can you provide a link to that listing? I am always looking for apartments with a view so I would like to see how booking one can go so wrong.

    I'm confused what you are trying to build here. A site that gives you a list of apartments with a view for every major city.

    Interesting. I wonder what those "checked for 100+ things that guests told us they love" are. Shouldn't the general quality of the listing already be apparent from the ratings? I'm…

    So you first recursively read the code and the code of all the dependencies? And then pin it? That sounds like a lot of work. Compared to copying/writing 30 lines. How do you know …

    It's not about auditing every line of code. It's about a chain of trust. I can not imagine that the security of Facebooks servers is at the mercy of a chain of anonymous coders.

    That sounds scary. That means the security of your system and data is at the mercy of all those maintainers? I can't imagine any big companies work like that. Execute code on their…

    what's the better way to do it copy & paste, or use a package manager When you add a dependency, how do you prevent the maintainer of the dependency or any sub- or sub-sub-...depen…

    Yup. That's why I'll give them a list. So they can chose between the tower and the trees.

    Is the direction important to you? Personally, I just want to be able to look over the city. And not have another house in front of me. At first I will simply go through all listin…

    Thanks! The "One-Bedroom Apartment" here? https://www.booking.com/hotel/ph/30-cd-twin-oaks-place.html I wonder if one is guaranteed to get it with a view or it could happen that yo…

    My 'plan' is very simple. It's just a list of links for each city. No community features or anything. Just the links to apartments that I myself found. Features could be added late…

    Great! I'm happy I did not completely disgruntle you and you still speak with me. I can be way too undiplomatic at times. Small market + Hard problem sums up the responses here nic…

    Right now it seems that all you want to hear is 'it's a great idea!'. No! If there are counter arguments, I want to hear them! The more replies I get without counter arguments that…

    Would love to see your site. If you want to get in touch - I have put my email on my profile.

    "this would narrow your market down too much" How do you know? Can you quantify that somehow? "people with specific apartment demands > number of people who want an apartment with …

    An example: Imagine these two predictors: Reality: 1 1 1 1 1 9 1 1 1 1 Predic1: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Predic2: 3 3 3 3 3 6 3 3 3 3 SumOfErrors(Predic1) is 16 SumOfErrors(Predic2) is …

    TLDR: Because it gives more weight to one big error then to multiple small ones with the same sum. We want the errors to be noise and not systematic. Noise usually has a gaussian d…

    Can you quantify the small demand somehow? Is an apartment with a view not something many people want? When I look at r/digitalnomad, the top post right now is somebody showing of …

    I never use browser extensions because of the security and privacy problems. When you say 'most other users' - can you quantify that? If for example 99% of the world population doe…

    I understood that. But as I said, it's a misunderstanding. I am not thinking about a generalization. I am thinking about a site that lists apartments with a view. That's it. I wond…

    This is a misunderstanding. I would not gather data about bed size or shower type. All I want to do is assemble a list of top floor apartments with a view.
