Yeah, you're right. A direct connect in Milan at Equinix ML2 is $2.48/port-hour.

I just pulled the DirectConnect prices from the AWS API, and I think there is still a per/GB charge. Here's a description of a random direct connect point in Amsterdam (Equinix AM3). https://gist.github.com/arashpayan/a91c46c3787ac610e7884b77b...

If I'm reading the description correctly, egress from there is 2 cents/GB, while the regular price for egress (less than 10 TB) from eu-south-1 is 9 cents/GB.

Connecting to an AWS egress point for direct connect reduces the egress price (about half) but doesn't eliminate it. It also costs thousands of dollars a month just to have the connection, so it's not great for small operations. :-/

I hadn't heard of Heroic before. I'll check it out. Thank you.

I agree that GOG needs to port their client to Linux for all the reasons you stated, but as a workaround you can use Lutris which lets you log into your GOG account and download+install games (Windows games too).

It's not as pain free as Steam, because you sometimes still have to apply wine fixes, but it works well with the most popular games.

Do you have another source for that? I checked his Mastodon feed and don't see any mention about the source of the questions from the IMO.

I think the Microsoft antitrust lawsuit was neutered on purpose by the Bush administration.

> generate directions like "turn left after the green building"

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the Los Angeles metro area, Google Maps already gives directions like this. "Turn left after the Carl's Jr.", "Turn right after the Starbucks". I notice it's usually done in areas where street signs are hard to see, but there is a clear landmark for the driver e.g. the golden arches of a McDonald's.

If you use Google Flights[1] to plan your flight, it lists the airplane that will be used for each leg of your trip so you can make sure to avoid flights on 737 MAXs.

The book All the Shah's Men by Stephen Kinzer is an excellent narration of the time leading up to the coup, and the coup itself. I think it's fair to say that a lot of our problems with terrorism at the present all stemmed from this coup in Iran in 1953.

I haven't posted much lately, but I'll keep the site updated as long as I'm alive. :-)

Might the source link be better in this case?

Interesting! I've never considered batching my calls to SQLite from Go that way. Do you have any numbers you can share about performance when doing that?

The implementation of footnotes on the right side of the screen is really cool, and not something I've seen before. Such a cool idea. I think it would be interesting for news publications to try that out in articles as well. It could allow for brevity in the main article text, but still allow those who want to know the source of a statement/fact or more detail the option to obtain it.

Thank you to Moxie and the entire team at Signal for building this incredible software and releasing it out in the world! I've been using it since the TextSecure and RedPhone days and moving more and more of friends and family to it ever since.

To the HN crowd, please become a sustainer (monthly donations) of Signal through the app. You get a badge that way, which is an opportunity for those you communicate with to learn about becoming a sustainer too.

I'm not aware of any microkernels for phones (I'm not sure that would help either), but Android has been sandboxing more and more processing [1] and started using some Rust at the system level [2] ever since the stagefright bug [3].
