The leap day system handles the mean, the leap seconds handle the variance around the mean. The need for leap seconds is not predictable—they zero out accumulated error.

Maintainability is a major factor in that, of course.
There is a second test for lead but most people take a class and get the lead card during the class.
I know “use shorter functions” but tell that to my coworkers.

And then when there's a security problem, who goes and checks that every version of every dependency of every application has actually been patched and updated? Why would I want to roll a system back to an (definitely insecure) state of a few months ago?
What problem does Nix solve that SO numbers (properly used) doesn't?
I have many of the same questions about Snap and even Docker.
Otherwise I tend to prefer rebase.
For example perhaps a rule says "you need to do an inspection when a panel is removed" so the engineers and quality will get together and say "what if we just have the technician remove a couple screws on the panel and peek under it, then the panel hasn't technically been removed so we don't need to do the inspection". And then it turns out they remove all but one screw and twist the panel completely away so it's basically open but not "removed". And, it's all there in the work instructions, exactly what they did, but if anyone asks they can say "oh no, we didn't REMOVE the panel". And of course, the actual work instructions are only viewable in some 1970s green screen terminal or an all-caps printout thereof that comes in a multi-binder acceptance packet.
If they ever needed to compete on price, they just wouldn’t. Usually their competitors wouldn’t either, there were only a few.
However, the government screwed up the scaling factor and it basically became impossible to build a small truck, while larger trucks had much easier-to-meet requirements. That led to automakers basically abandoning the passenger car market, and upsizing trucks significantly.
