The post Setting Up OpenTelemetry on the Frontend Because I Hate Myself appeared first on The New Stack.
I've found in the last few days if you just accept the insanity of CSS you get better results.
Something I've learned in decades in tech, people don't listen to their friends, they listen to their competitors.

This is cool. Classic Web, via John Gruber who blogs:
Curator Richard MacManus posts half a dozen or so screenshots per day of, well, classic websites from the late 1990s and 2000s. Makes me feel old and young at the same time.

The NFLPA Is Having Communication Issues
This seems like a pretty embarrassing time to be a member of the NFLPA. Not only has a series of reports revealed that executive director Lloyd Howell Jr. is at best a pushover for the owners and at worst someone whose own interests are actively aligned against those of the players, but now the union has demonstrated itself incapable of releasing a legible statement.
Last week, ESPN dropped a pair of stories that seemed to herald Howell's resignation. The first reported that NFLPA senior leaders struck a deal with NFL owners, in which they agreed to keep the bombshell results of an arbitration case about collusion a secret from the players. The second report revealed that Howell works as a part-time consultant for the Carlyle Group, which is attempting to buy ownership stakes throughout the league.
