The fact that 'join a X group/class/workshop' shows up so often does make this a lot less useful. When you're looking for "easy-to-set-up activities for kids of all ages" a sign up process with some external organization isn't really 'it'.
Agreed. One area where it's maybe not sold short but just hurting the UX; it's not immediately clear from their documentation that certain NextJS features you get 'automatically' on Netlify/Vercel just aren't supported yet. For example, using any kind of dynamic routing (i.e. going to `/books/:id` directly rather than clicking through) doesn't work yet as there's no router available to tackle this for you. According to their Discord, it's in the works but it has been in that state for a few months already.
You can work around this with some Workers that capture the dynamic routes, request the nextjs html file and return that, but then you're using up your Functions quota as well.
Though few people’s electric prices are that high, and it’s rare to sit at 100% CPU 24/7.
While I agree a rate similar to that isn't all that uncommon in for instance Europe, from that perspective it's a relevant calculation. On the other hand the prices of old hardware tend to very between markets as well so that would still impact the break even point.
It's mostly true. Most universities require that incoming bachelor's degree students to have finished either a matching pre-university secondary education program or pass a test (only for people of 21+ years old) that checks whether a student has the required Dutch/English/math skills. After this, universities are allowed to boot students that fail to pass 50, 80 or 100% of the courses in the first or second year (actual percentages differ per university).
On the other hand, master's degree programs tend to require a bachelor's degree that has sufficient overlap in terms of courses. So to start a Computer Science master's degree, you'd probably need some bachelor's degree in engineering, math or physics. If you for instance got a bachelor's degree in Psychology, you'd probably need to attend several courses in order to be allowed to join.
