“As a Java programmer, you probably learned that you shouldn't be catching OOME (Out Of Memory Error) or other kinds of errors you can't deal with. Maybe you even learned that you shouldn't catch NPEs (NullPointerExceptions) because they indicate bugs, and you should let the application crash and fix it.”
“Therefore, arguably, the existence of NPEs helps facilitate and regulate supply and demand.”
“The most important and commonly used APEs are nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), which account for 80% of the APE market.”
