They are stil very expensive where I live(NL). EUR 4K+ on a cargobike or renting one for 150+ per month is A LOT for a normal family with 1-2 children. To add to that recently there's been a case in NL where more affordable manufacturer was deliberately selling cargo bikes with frames of sub-par quality[1][2].

I've been renting cargo bikes from two competing companies in Amsterdam (cargoroo and baqme) one offering super premium bikes bosch motors and the other with cheapie bafang motors. The build quality and riding experience is night and day.

Owing a cargo bike to me is more a life style choice or just virtue signalling. It's hard to justify the up front cost. Choosing cheaper options is risky since the maintenance cost is high or just unsafe.

I was in the same situation as OP a few months back. My bill was $3000 after creating a "vanity bucket" which saw 500M accessed denied POST calls over a month. I took a while to get a one time refund.

Fascinating to see that airport codes are used as datacenter names. I know at least one other company which does that but I thought that's something peculiar to them.

For REPL like things prompt_toolkit is great. For anything else (menus, forms) i find it difficult to use or at least discouraging.

what about a live data option ? That's the one feature of highcharts I use the most.

Wow a Romanian script kiddie at work. This kind of modus operandus is so 2004. Nice tool showcased though.

Sure, they can call it however they want. Technically they're the same language. There are only minor lexicographical differences, the grammar being roughly the same. Blame Stalin for the confusion.
