> the average developer spends 42% of their
work week on maintenance

Apart from the big question of where that number is from - How is that even a "bad" thing?

I've been on projects where about 100% of the work was maintenance. The app was done. It provided value. Things broke, bugs were uncovered, but the cost of maintaining the app was far eclipsed by the cost of maintaining it.

It's one of the things I hate about software development - every other industry accepts that things require maintenance and that spending on maintenance is a hard requirement to keep the thing you invested tons of money in running. Only software development seems to believe that anything, anywhere reaches a magic state of "done" and will never need to be touched again. And that the only thing that adds value is adding new features.

> Wizandria: As the category is "null" and the question appears to be empty, I will interpret this as a request to demonstrate my understanding of the concept of "null" within the context of proving my humanity. In computer science and programming, "null" represents the absence of a value or a reference to nothing. It's a fundamental concept that helps in handling situations where a variable or an object is not supposed to have any value. For instance, in Java, "null" is a literal that can be assigned to any reference type, indicating that the reference does not point to any object. Now, emulating the communication style of the provided answer "hello I am a human," which is casual and straightforward, here's my response: Hello there! I'm here to affirm my humanity by engaging with you in this intriguing trivia challenge. The concept of "null" might seem a bit abstract, but it's essential in the digital world, much like the silent spaces between notes are crucial in music. Just as "null" in programming signifies the absence of data, it can also symbolize the potential for new information to be created or assigned. In this human-machine interaction, I'm the one bringing life to these bytes and bits, showing that behind this text, there's a sophisticated understanding of both the digital and the human realms. So, while "null" might mean nothing, in this context, it's a stepping stone for us to connect and share knowledge, which is a very human endeavor.

Ask HN: Seeking Advice on Choosing the Right Stream for My Son
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out for some guidance regarding my son, who is currently in 10th grade and at a crossroads in deciding between the science or commerce stream. His assessments indicate that he has strong reasoning skills, is inquisitive, and has an enterprising spirit. He excels in physics and is above average in math, although he’s not interested in biology despite his aptitude for it. He’s curious by nature, enjoys challenges, and loves building with Legos.

As an electronics engineer, I naturally lean towards encouraging him to pursue a career in engineering, particularly in fields like computer science, electronics, robotics, or AI. However, I’m aware that I might be biased in this regard. My son, on the other hand, is considering a career in accounting, drawn by the perception of it being a well-paid job with what he believes to be less effort compared to engineering. He feels that the math involved in accounting is simpler than that in engineering.

I’m uncertain about the long-term career prospects in both fields, especially with AI potentially disrupting areas like accounting. While I see a wide range of opportunities in engineering, I’m also trying to consider his interests and the possibility of job satisfaction in finance.

I would greatly appreciate your insights on the pros and cons of these two streams:

Engineering:
-Competitive pay
-Potential for a balanced work-life (depending on the organization)
-Opportunities for travel
-Challenging and dynamic work environment
-Possibility of freelancing or starting his own business

CA/Finance:
- Competitive pay
-Likely less travel involved
- Freelancing might be challenging or less lucrative
-Concerns about long-term job satisfaction

Any advice, insights, or personal experiences you can share would be incredibly helpful as we navigate this decision. Thank you in advance!

These laws have been created for good reasons, and US tech companies have had free reign to trample on people's privacy rights for a very long time.

If a company acts in a honorable way, there's nothing to fear and they can easily do business world wide. It's when companies do things that are shady and should've been outlawed from the start that they run into trouble. The main issue here is that the US has the least restrictive laws and allows its citizens' privacy to be grossly invaded, which means these companies now feel like they're being unnecessarily restricted.

If the US had stricter laws, this would be a non-issue and you wouldn't hear anyone about it. It's all very myopic and US-centered to focus on the company's freedom to do as it pleases. What about the users' freedom to live without being spied upon? Free market rules don't apply - the network effects are too big to really say "you can take your business elsewhere if you don't like it". Also it's a transparency issue - it's too hard to tell from the outside how your data will be handled to make an informed decision about what companies to deal with. Especially because all of them treat your data like they own it, as a cash cow.

Darden group sold Red Lobster to GGC because it was massively underperforming in it's portfolio due to mismanagement through the 90s. GGC wasn't able to make much headway with it, and so it sold 25% to a vendor on the supply chain as part of debt restructuring and forgiveness, that allowed them to get some unit economics back into reality and the owner of the supply chain company took the rest of the position to continue the work of re-building the supply chain. Should the PE firm have involved the vendors in that way, maybe not, however it seems it was a decent enough strategy in terms of thoughtfulness.

Red Lobster had a death rattle long before PE got involved, PE is just a convenient story.

The advantage of framing it in monetary terms is that clients are very used to thinking in monetary terms. It's not a "no, we won't do that", but a "yes with a cost" that they'll very likely reject on their own terms. And it clearly leaves the door open for something that is really really urgent - be it a genuine emergency or just the result of poor planning.

Apple would much rather sell you both an iPhone and a watch. Untethering them from each other destroys that upsell.

I don’t think Apple ever claimed in “the marketing” that you didn’t need an iPhone to use your watch. Just that you can leave it at home if you’re going out for a run or something like that.

Whether you and I think that’s consumer-friendly is a completely different story. I certainly don’t think it is. But it’s been an extremely good business model for Apple.

That's not even the root cause. The need for so many parties came from the need for a large enough market to justify the program. And the need for a large market came from the large cost of developing the launcher. And that came from the top down decision for reusability combined with overall inefficiency of the NASA-industry development system. And that is sourced back to Congress viewing NASA and space spending primarily as a pork delivery vehicle, not as an effort intended to achieve real results as economically as possible.

It took SpaceX to slash costs, accelerate development, and choose an approach that really made engineering success to push partial reusability over the finish line. SpaceX was not subject to the perverse incentives under which NASA is forced to operate.

In the US Munition covers ‘big stuff’. Like tank shells, artillery, grenades, etc.

Small arms ammunition doesn’t have explosive charges? (20mm is about the smallest ammunition that does, with exceptionally rare exceptions, and that is generally considered ‘cannon’ ammunition, not small arms).

Or do you mean primers? If so, those are exceptionally unlikely to hurt you or anyone else.

Safety glasses are sufficient protection from literally setting small arms ammunition on fire.
I've already recouped the cost difference after 5 years of ownership of an EV, with similar driving patterns as before (or even less driving after the switch, thanks to increased teleworking).

"It is often suggested that Ada was the world's first programmer. This is nonsense: Babbage was, if programmer is the right term. After Babbage came a mathematical assistant of his, Babbage's eldest son, Herschel, and possibly Babbage's two younger sons. Ada was probably the fourth, fifth or six person to write the programmes. Moreover all she did was rework some calculations Babbage had carried out years earlier. Ada's calculations were student exercises. Ada Lovelace figures in the history of the Calculating Engines as Babbage's interpretress"
