This only makes sense if you're in a world where you're switching backends more than once, which means you're not seriously programming, you're just burning VC money for lottery tickets.

OTel is the backend, in-program equivalent of "we need all of five analytics systems on our frontend to figure out that users bounce when our page takes 10s to load because it has five analytics systems in it".

On the other hand our post used to be timely and cheap, our milk fresh and healthy, and our water cleaner. Maybe those housewives were onto something.

It would be hard to find a trio that better exemplifies SV 2008-2020 than Musk, Thiel, and Andreessen. You could toss in Brin I guess, I'm not sure if he's "pronatalist" or just loves to fuck his employees. How about Neu

Wow now that this guy has pointed out their inconsistency, I'm sure all these billionaires will shift their viewpoints away from whatever their self-interest is focused on at the moment.

Sure, then we can also say Germany had another 250k. It doesn't change anything about what I said. https://www.destatis.de/EN/Themes/Society-Environment/Popula...

My intuition could be way off, but I think there's more than 10x more water (even at some ridiculously thin surface depth) between Korea and Japan than there is in the Fukushima tanks. Wikipedia says 210 km³ flows into the Sea of Japan

25 days a year is not a "very good" vacation policy in Europe, I'd say that would be at least 35 + public holidays.

I think you have this backwards, it was explained to me that the employer cannot refuse a consecutive vacation of up to 2 weeks, not that the employee has an obligation to take it as such.

A smaller but still significant percentage of these still receive an allotment of "sick days", and if they exceed them (or have a job without them) just get fired.

Are you suggesting it's OK if ParseInt failures take 1ms? Or should ParseInt use a different "kind of error" that's not commensurate with the regular error kind? Do you think most errors look more like ParseInt, or more
