This is my problem as I'm evaluating competitors. I have a few tiny services that don't need constant uptime (the heroku sleep and wait-to-wake was perfectly fine). Most places charge per-service and it's not clear that I can

Ha, I just did the same thing. It's definitely a bigger shift than I expected! I think the biggest difference so far is the quality of dev tooling. Python's native type system has enabled a lot of really good editor functionality.

This looks very cool, kudos on the launch! I feel like vim tutorials mostly focus on navigating and editing a single file, which is great! But I mostly struggle with how to replicate opening a whole directory in VSCode, which makes it easy

One trick to this is to put an entry in your password manager for the site that's just a note that says "log in w/ X". So you always check the PM first- it'll either have credentials or a pointer to how to log in.

I haven't dug into the docs yet, but I don't quite follow this. How does it know that the ex-iPhone owner and current Android owner are the same person (and should have access to the same account)?

That makes sense, but I thought it was odd that the two implementations had _identical_ timing results. I should really dig more into it, I just haven't. I linked the benchmarking script and results in this comment if you're curio

For Sanderson specifically, his books are DRM-free wherever they are sold (apple/google/etc). Same goes for TOR publishing. Past that, most books aren't available for DRM-free purchase. Breaking the DRM on an otherwise legall

Riot Games did this one year for April Fools in League of Legends. Normally you can play a 5v5 match against other players, beginner bots, or intermediate bots. For April Fools, they rolled out "Advanced Bots", which were actually
