It costs money to serve S3 objects out to the internet though. S3 GET request billing + the usual AWS egress fees, after you've burned through the free quotas. Egress is currently $0.09 per GB + tax.

It seems like a good move. The Tao was a big single document with heavyweight edit/revision burden, which probably made more sense when it was updated by publishing a new RFC, as if it were a print publication. This looks to be the re

I don't follow, was $9/user/mo (presumably what the Team plan was) low enough for it to be "effectively free" and invite problem customers? I would have thought those sorts of people just go for the $0/mo optio

That's right - some "safe" coding standards like MISRA C go as far as forbidding use of malloc() without explicit justification. If you still need dynamic allocation, you might choose to have a custom allocator working from a
