  • Oracle suck, and the omission of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure may be intentional here, but they offer 2 indefinitely free servers which only required a linked card iirc. Could be worth adding to the list?

    If you sign up for a PAYG account (which requires a $100 charge to your card, which is then refunded), you can actually get he ARM servers they advertise as always free. They’re a bit beefier (4 Ampere cores, 24gb ram).

    And they give 200gb of storage you divvy up between your instances.

    But Oracle deeply suck as a company, so maybe not mentioning them is the right choise






  • Continuous.

    Instead of jumping from 1 to 2 to 3, we move smoothly across all (typically real) numbers. Obviously this would go to infinity almost every time because there are infinite real numbers between any two distinct real numbers. So instead, we merge it into a bunch of skinny rectangles with their bottom on the x axis and the top at the value of the function for the start of the rectangle. As we shrink the width of the rectangles, it approaches the continuous notion.

    Continuous means “smooth” - there are no jumps Discrete means there are jump
