Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What software do you know that uses mythological names for its release (version) codenames?
6·1 year agoA company I worked for a decade ago used Greek and Norse gods to name our servers. There was Odin and Thor, Zeus and Dionysius, etc. Having been a huge fan of Stargate SG-1, I kept suggesting various Goa’uld names, and one made it through - Chronos.
That’s as close to mythology as I got.

The gall! How dare they open up their dirty word holes to preach anyone about ethics when half of them are bought and paid for by the highest bidder! Fucking unreal.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What percentage of phone calls (to your personal phone) do you answer?
1·1 year agoI’m in the opposite camp - never answer calls from area codes same as mine. Scammers now target numbers with same area code as the one they’re spoofing. If also the first 3 digits after the area code match too, that’s an even higher chance of a scam.
If you think that these days resumes actually reach developers, I have an AI company to sell you.

3·1 year agoso of course you fix your neighbors roof, otherwise they will not help you in the future.
You know what they say about common sense.
Back to my condo story. A few years into my fight with them over the leaky roof, a radiology office opened up on the 1st floor’s commercial space. Very quickly the 2nd floor residents came to find out how loud those MRI machines get, and wanted everyone to chip in for installing soundproofing. At that point 3 other units on my floor also began experiencing leaks on their ceilings because turns out water doesn’t stop at apartment boundaries. The people who were voting down fixing the leak were very angry at us for voting down installing soundproofing. They just couldn’t wrap their brains around the idea of shared benefit until it hit them in the face.

10·1 year agoHow would financing these projects work? Would taxation be on a street level, too? Are you willing to pay for everything that your street needs? A new traffic light or fixing pitholes sounds cheap, but it does get expensive as you scale up. I had to replace four 5x5-foot squares of sidewalk in front of my house a few years ago, and it cost me $5k. Imagine how much it would cost to re-pave a road for an entire block.
Voting purely for your own self-interest is also a double-edged sword. How sure are you that your neighbors will vote to pay for fixing a ruptured pipe that is next to your house if it doesn’t impact theirs? I once lived in a condo that had a leaky roof over my apartment alone, and the remaining 20+ units kept voting against paying to fix it literally for years. That’s one building. You mtiply that by a.few hundred buildings on a given street, and absolutely nothing will get done, ever.
