Most SaaS services are pre-paid rather than post-paid, so if they cannot bill you, it's easy for them to shut off your service and be out basically no money. My experience is that the actual terms of service don't guarantee that w

Thanks for sharing a small writeup of a neat thing you did! I think maybe the parent comment missed the context, which is that you wanted to add an email signup to an otherwise static site. In that context, setting up a VPS would now mean t

I can't speak authoritatively, but I can think of some good reasons you might not want to automatically and implicitly await every invocation of an async function. As designed, calling an async function just returns a Promise, and any

If you mean non-blocking in general, the benefit is that your system can do something else useful while it's waiting for some operation to complete (usually things accessing files or a database or a network service) If you specifically

The manpage says that directly invoking a script from package.json with `npm run X` aka `npm run-script X` will still work with this preference set to true, but that it will not run pre/post scripts. Perhaps that is good enough for yo

It could work if B2 customers use the service in a diverse enough variety of patterns to where the economics still work out in aggregate.

Those don't skip null or undefined though, they only skip missing keys in the array. For example: [1,,3].length // 3 [1,,3].forEach(v => console.log(v)) // 1 // 3 [1,undefined,null,3]

What a confusing mess. If LIST pricing is separate then it's strange to include it in the column of a table of storage-class pricing like that. But I agree that's what that statement seems to be saying. AWS's own pricing cal

Automating the tests so that they run against 100% of commits is great. Humans are fallible and might not remember to always run the tests locally. If I'm making a change and I want feedback from the test suite, of course I'd run
