I watched this one recently, and was going to share it here. I'm not in the field, but this looks like a nice demo of the current launch systems UX, unlike the tens that are dated to the early 80s.

Oh, I agree it is a tradeoff. But the parent said "you can learn to miss every time". Can anyone point me to a C language project where the developers consistently miss every time?

It probably isn't worth trying.

djb wrote remotely exploitable C for qmail, applications written by the OpenBSD team have had exploitable memory issues, Microsoft still doesn't get it right, neither do Linux kernel devs.

Provider to recommend to your parents or grandparents: Callcentric

Provider for hobbyists who need flexibility: voip.ms

Bria and Groundwire have good SIP softphones for mobile, but aren't free. Since multitasking on iOS is so limited, these apps can register on their own servers, then send push notifications on calls.

3CX or Asterisk are good choices for connecting to trunks. 3CX is much less flexible, can cost money, but is "easy".
