There isn’t long running strategic planning for this type of thing and no consistency in the volume of work, so the construction industry can’t invest in having the capacity. That and risk contingencies are way higher.

mondoman712@lemmy.mlto Buy European@feddit.uk•Which European product or service do you think is underrated and should be promoted more?7·3 months agoI think it’s worth pointing out that mapy.cz
is a frontend foruses data from Openstreetmap, so the quality of the data will vary depending on if people have contributed in the area (please contribute if you spot anything missing), and there are other ways to access the same data.

mondoman712@lemmy.mlto Mechanical Keyboards@lemmy.ml•Does anyone actually use a 60% or less for programming work?17·4 months agoI use a 40% (corne specifically) for full time dev work. I use (neo)vim so I don’t really need any of the keys you mentioned apart from some function keys, for which I only have to hold one modifier and having them closer to the home row is much more comfortable.
Not quite as bad for the environment, and often just worse when it comes to all of the other reasons why cars are terrible.
mondoman712@lemmy.mlto Public Transport@slrpnk.net•Trudeau pitches high-speed rail, putting surprising new decarbonization options on the tableEnglish5·4 months agoHigh top speeds isn’t the reason that HS2 is costing so much, there’s a lot of overbuilding of things like tunnelling under rural areas to keep certain voters happy. Also, the UK absolutely can afford to finish it, it’s a political choice not to.
mondoman712@lemmy.mlto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If political agendas were released, or summarized, like patch notes would people better understand what they are signed up for?16·4 months agoWe have that in the UK, the parties all publish manifestos before elections. I think it helps to get the message across and to be clear about what they are and aren’t promising to do. They aren’t, however, legally enforceable so parties aren’t obliged to actually follow up on their promises.

I use it over other tools, but I haven’t used the proprietary tools so I can’t provide a comparison.
mondoman712@lemmy.mlto pics@lemmy.world•What would you called this type of photo? A old postcard of Nanko Temple, Kobe, Japan.2·6 months agoIt looks like a hand coloured photo to me, which were apparently popular in Japan for a while
mondoman712@lemmy.mlto dailygames@lemmy.zip•NYT tech workers go on strike, people are skipping NYT products in solidarity (including games like Wordle, Strands, & Connections)1·7 months agoTimeguessr is very similar to whentaken, but I prefer the former.
I don’t see it as ridiculing anyone. It’s criticising the system that created this mess.
mondoman712@lemmy.mlto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•Crossing against the light? You won’t get ticketed now that jaywalking is legal in NYC5·8 months agoBlaming cyclists for something a motorist failed to do seems to be a uniquely North American thing.
I can tell you that it’s also very much a thing in many parts of Europe.
mondoman712@lemmy.mlto Fuck Cars@lemmy.ml•The PRC's long-term high speed rail progress.32·8 months agoYou don’t even need that many people before cars become impractical.
I live somewhere that is very much not car dependant, the cars still suck and we need way fewer of them.
