They have a shiny file system abstraction, but ever since they introduced that, they have allowed downloading arbitrary files into it AFAIK.

Disclosure: I wrote this. I don't think I've ever posted on HN. I looked through the FAQ. Hopefully this isn't breaking any rules!

Any possibility this is user-submitted panoramas, and maybe they don't charge for those?

The Pudding is one of the best things on the internet today.

`position-area` syntax feels a little tough to remember, but I'm glad top/right/bottom/left is still available.

That's fine for a lot of stuff. It becomes tricky to do certain other things. CSS-only tooltips are notoriously limited in scope.

Are you logged in? They’re only blocking suspicious bot like traffic on VPN. Logged in accounts can still use it over VPN.

Old versions of Reddit (in Python IIRC) were open source. They just stopped updating it.

Just type “no” in search and it should be one of the top options.

It’s not uncommon for VP to be a lower level exec title at massive companies like Apple.

They’re not low tier by any stretch compared to most employees. They’re still high level leaders.

I’ve never understood what everyone’s issue with PDF is.

It’s like digital, printed paper. Part of the reason is pretty much ubiquitous compatibility.

If it needs to be edited, just don’t print it on digital paper. Does the format have other issues?

There's good discussion on this here, and on Reddit.

In addition to all of that, the real moral of the story is to not use anything with dynamic billing for personal projects, even if there is a free tier. Always ensure that the free tier does not automatically turn into a paid tier.

That said, I've never used Netlify, so I don't know how they present this service at the time of signing up.

GitHub Pages is great for static sites, and included Jekyll build support is a bonus.

TIL! Fortunately, my state (Washington) is on the list. Unclear when it will be ready for use. Anyone know? I just signed up for their newsletter.
