1000 _participants_ on a call, or 1000 _viewers_?

Our org switched from Google Meet to their streaming equivalent once we hit around 250 people, nothing worked well with that many participants.

Lucky for your org, streaming has been a solved problem since the 90s! It looks like Jitsi might support streaming by itself, or you can find online tutorials on Nginx + Varnish RTMP streaming and DIY if you prefer.

To answer your literal question, there is no enterprise grade open-source zoom alternative because it's incredibly difficult and hard to make work for free. You have seen how hard just in your N=1000 sample size. Adding in self-hosted STUN or TURN or building your own proxy and video muxer is only going to be harder. There's a reason YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, etc. are good at it, because they're zillion dollar companies that can afford to invest in the massive infrastructure and engineering required to make it not-terrible.
Yeah, sorry. I wasn't being precise. When I say "UIKit" I mean what iOS devs usually refer to as "programmatic views" where you do all the UI stuff in Swift code files rather than the UI Builder and Storyboard tools that Xcode offers.

I'm sure SwiftUI is UIKit underneath, too, for what it's worth.
I have Visionary, which allows for five logins if I recall right. It also has a drive replacement, and something like 12 VPN assignments. I run a few domains through it without issue.

Edit: Looks like they aren’t allowing anyone new to sign up for Visionary. That’s recent as I was seeing signups available as of a week or two ago if I recall right.
Life is hard. That's just the plain truth.

But we have it much easier than previous generations. We've got better health, wonderful technology, more information than ever before. There's less poverty and less disease. Less racism. More empathy.

Consider the folks who were around for WWI. It was followed by a flu outbreak, huge stock market crash, Great Depression, then WWWII and Korean conflict.

Life is hard. But we don't have it so bad.
Doesn't the system used for parliamentary elections in the Netherlands count as strict proportional representation? (It has a single nationwide constituency, no formal threshold, and an effective threshold of less than one percent.)

I believe Slovakia and much of the former Yugoslavia also use at-large (and therefore not degressive) PR for their general elections.
I think done right, this might work. However, one concern I have is the same concern I have with jury trials. Its easy enough to get out of jury duty, and anecdotally it seems like juries are usually filled with folks that aren't quite able to grasp how to take advantage of the system.

Would the same thing happen here?

Second issue, one I have thought a lot about. Would these same people write legislation or just propose it and vote on it? I think the challenge is also writing good legislation.

Lastly, you have to worry that corporations will just offer folks in this new congress paid positions to support business friendly legislation, when they are replaced. That would probably be cheap for them. Edit: Maybe not though, if the number of issues each group worked on before rotating out was very small.
I'm just here waiting for the matrix. Metaverse type content is pretty clearly the future of gaming, but VR doesn't cut it. What we need is a dream like state we can plug into for full immersion.
Google's proclivity for aggressively wiping the spaghetti off the wall is starting to work against it. I think maybe they need to start promising to open source any products they lose interest in.
There were, alongside the Qt efforts they ported POSIX into Symbian, PIPS.

I think the flexibility of operating independently of IP addresses is the key distinction of this approach. It also works for the web UI, not just the webhooks from GitHub.
Don't forget that in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War some of the first gun control laws were passed. Specifically, the laws restricted ownership of firearms to particular models that the newly freed Black population would be unlikely to be able to afford. The effect was essentially disarmament of the Black population in the South.
Startup, the RPG. As you develop your (actual) startup, you communicate with a DM over telegram or some chat interface, and the DM gives you miniature quests to propel you along in your startup. What happens to your startup in the real world is integrated by the DM into the "game" quests they describe to you.
Ultima 8.75. No game has ever brought the same joy as Ultima 8.5, although maybe that was a function of my age as well.
I removed my premium subscription after this incident and was surprised to find that all benefits for the subscription were immediately revoked. Mail was rendered undeliverable until space was clear back to 500MB.

Mind you there was still time in my subscription.

So fuck ProtonMail regardless. Others will recommend Tutanota, Fastmail… I use mailbox.org for business, all much better recommendations.
I see, so your destiny is keeping homeless and veterans on the streets, bankrupting people when they're ill, plus casual mass killing of schoolers. Or if it's not this one, how about you finally use said freedom and take control of your own destiny? Because a freedom if not used is not really a freedom, is it.

This is pretty amazing! Thank you for making it.

I'm not sure if this would be against Google's terms so you might want to check:

If you started indexing such that I could do a search and it would come back with any indexed content I think you would have invented a new search engine. Seems extremely useful.

I already use YouTube this way today but as you pointed out searching by title can be tricky.

Search engines supported by ads are also typically quite profitable.
In most places you can vote before the election for varying degree of times (like 1-2 weeks). We don’t need a holiday for voting.

What we need is the ability for people to get their ballot easily, return it when they want.

Where I live, I get my ballot for every election in the mail, I fill out at home. I then walk it down to a secure ballot drop box a few blocks away. Everyone should have this experience.
Oh yes, it's a beautiful website.
I've imagined this being more transactional. Like a constantly running game of StarCraft 2, where you're dropped onto a massive map, build up, fight for awhile, make alliances, have fun, do memes, then when you log off you have to do it all over again.

In Age of Empires you can share control, so 4 people can be controlling the same civilization, even giving conflicting orders. This could be done for for when people log off.
A true successor to the Civ4 mod Fall From Heaven 2 [1].

As an aside, I enjoyed Civ4 way more than 5/6. They might have hexes and Civ4 (and earlier) may suffer from the Stack of Doom problem but I don't enjoy the dance of units that can no longer stack.

Anyway, I played Civ4 the most (other than Civ1) of the series but, more than the base game, I played way more of FFH2. It's an amazing mod. Sadly, the primary creator went on to work for some other game company. Good for him but not I miss the development.

There were a lot of groundbreaking and amazing turn-based fantasy games in the 1990s and early 2000s. FFH2 is just one (and a notable one at that). Others include Heroes of Might and Magic (primary 2 and 3) and Master of Magic (I believe there was a kickstarter for a successor to this but I don't believe it was well received? I could be wrong).

I don't enjoy RTSs. I like the relaxing pace of turn-based games.
Ansible. Every morning I run two commands that are wrappers around "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" that upgrade the entire fleet of servers I manage. They're the same two commands every morning and they're in my bash history. It's really not that hard.
Boom.

There are tons of leaders who would not be eligible for office (felonies) if they were charged. Once they take office they're basically untouchable too.
This would be great for C, too.

(And now please do not tell me that I should just go switch to C++... Or Go. Or Rust. I am just saying that I'd like this improvement for C, too.)
Hi there, I work on Fuchsia, specifically on our Software Delivery system [1].

You hit on exactly the right point: it's _possible_ to download and run software on demand, but it's also possible (and recommended) for products to turn off that capability if it's not useful or valuable for their use case. We pin packages for the base system itself, as well as lots of configurations of products.

The ability to run code on demand is really valuable for our development flows and quick prototyping: built a new test or experiment? No need to update your device, just try to run it, and it runs!

Something I've always wanted to play is a game multiplayer game (ideally firt or third person) where you and a small number of friends crew a space ship. Each person has their own role (navigator, weapons, pilot, etc) and you would fly through space and engage in combat.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew comes closest to what I'm talking about. Imagine that but not VR (well, VR is cool for this, but I don't have a VR headset, so...) but more of a Firefly type of atmosphere.

There was once a UDK demo or sample game that mixed FPS with space combat that was cool. Each player on a team started in a large ship, which someone could fly and other team members could control cannons, or run around the ship, or get into single-person fighters to attack and board the enemy ship. I don't remember what it was called, just that I got it as a sample when downloading UDK way back when it was still a thing. It was pretty cool!

No, care about Congress as a team, not just the sub-teams of Republicans and Democrats. Caring about just the party is like only caring if the football team's offense or defense does well but not whether the team wins the game.
I do agree that it can be used to disenfranchise people, however it’s unavoidable to create legitimacy.

If we didn’t have a minor education requirement (minor because high school is free and is seen as the basic education that everyone has), then an age requirement can be substituted. For example, invoking the current age requirement of 35 to become president if you do not have a high school education so at least we know that you have life experience as a substitute.

As for the criminal requirement, felons already can’t vote and participate in the electoral system so it’s questionable that many would accept felons being “randomly” chosen to lead the country. One could easily imagine and protest that a mafia kingpin who wins office by random chance did so by subverting the lottery. True or not, it’s believable enough to destroy legitimacy and throw the country into chaos.
Sure you're not actually thinking of preroll ads?
The problem is, games like that aren’t fun. It’s been tried.

Imagine coming home from work and hopping online to go do your second job. A virtual economy implies work. And unless there’s something to hook people in, no one wants to do that work.

Hence you end up with the quest grind and the dopamine trail.

If you can find a way out, I imagine it would be very lucrative. But it’s not really a technology problem.
The issue now is that the Middle class stand to lose their houses by the end of the year because over over leveraged and over borrowing. Now that's why it's getting so much (more) attention.
If this turned out to be roadblock then lobbyists would lobby for a new act that overturned this law. It would get a freedom-sounding name like Openness Of Information For a Free America God Bless You Act.

But how would they lobby for that...? you ask. It would go marginally slower because of this temporary roadblock. But the necessary information would nonethless get through by way of more informal means, in the same way that de facto bribery cannot be eliminated by boneheaded laws like “you may not explicitly say that you intend to do something if someone gives you money”. As long as there are lobbyists and politicians and they are allowed to interact... there’s a way.

Or the politicians would just overturn the act by their own initiative since they want that sweet money.
A Dungeon Siege remake that runs on Mac. The original had a good formula but a lot of games now are too showy and complex.
Thanks for answering that! I went for some lunch :)
It isn't necessarily apocalyptic, but we do a lot of things to address wood biodegrading. Paint, arsenic-impregnated wood, etc. If we didn't have any such measures, our use of wood would quickly be a problem.

Also, a lot of current uses of plastic have a built-in assumption that they don't degrade. We could adapt, sure, but it would be quite disruptive, and a lot of current uses would need to be changed/replaced.
Which version of the temperature record are these tools using, the original raw data, or the adjusted data? Do you have confidence in the rationale and methodology for the adjustments?

The conflict statement for the paper submitted is thick, and also buried at the end of the discussion rather than conspicuously presented up front lol

Wouldn't be surprised if no one quoted there has ever used Flutter. The Apple dev comment-sphere is quite insular.
It's interesting that you say that. That really wasn't how I imagined it, and I'm a little confused how you interpreted it as such. My thought was that it's a point of view that most people haven't experienced or thought much about. Just because the playable characters would be from the LDS church wouldn't mean that all or even most of their interactions would have a religious motivation. I imagined it more like getting "boy scout badges" for good deeds from the perspective of that particular religious group and for the game to be more light-hearted rather than dead serious, or even suggesting any sort of religion to the player.

Maybe you're right and I'm suggesting something that isn't really appropriate. I would play games more if there were more slice-of-life type games from different perspectives, but with some humor in there too.
It's not quite point 1, but Natural Selection 2[1] is close, and might even be better than what you're asking for if you're looking to play with (rather than against) your friends. Each team has one player who plays with an RTS view, with all the other players being the units, playing with an FPS view.

I also have issues with the other criteria but in particular

> Over the age of 25

We have a situation (not just in the US) where old people make decisions that have strong repercussions for the younger generations and the ones affected the most can't do anything about it. If anything we should be lowering the age to vote and get into public office. Clearly the older generations have shown that they are incapable of fixing the real issues.
Cool. Thank you for that. I've got through the SwiftUI tutorials and stuff, but I've never tried to make a real project that mixed both approaches, so I had no idea about UIViewRepresentable, etc.

I think that adds to my point that SwiftUI isn't something that's very amenable to "just use it where it's appropriate", or "gradually try it out by migrating a small part of your project", etc. It sounds like you have to commit to "this is a SwiftUI app now, and we can integrate with old stuff if/where/when we need to".
I heard of Natural Selection which was aiming to be exactly #2 in 2003-2006. I never played it though so I can't confirm how well it realised the ideal.

Marketing yourself has always been, and will continue to be, valuable. This marketing can take many forms.
Unlike Linux, Fuchsia is not under GPL. Another attempt at making Android less open.
I also prefer turn-based games, but I've never found one that isn't extremely boring to play in multiplayer mode. Does anyone have any suggestions?
My parents electric stove with knobs also had a child lock on it. Like the rest of the controls, it’s also a dial. It’s just harder to turn
If they are private organisations, wouldn't it be fun if they could be hauled before the Federal Trade Commission? :-)
> then there's no downside to making the number of links prime if you can arrange it.

Bike chains always have to have an even number of links because they come in inner and outer pairs. But this has an effect on chainrings as well. When the tooth on a chainring or sprocket is in between two inner plates it's in a narrow gap. When the tooth is in between outer plates that's a wide gap. If you have a chainring with an even number of teeth then you can have the teeth match the narrow and wide profiles (called a narrow-wide chainring) which is supposed to make it less likely that you drop your chain off the chainrings. I'm not sure if it works, tbh. It seems to only be a thing in mountain or gravel bikes with a single chainring. I can't find any track chainrings that have the profile but I only looked for a second.

For chains themselves there's usually a pretty narrow number of links that work on a road drivetrain. I think I can live with one fewer or more pair of links on mine.

> the biggest issue is inconsistent enforcement by DPAs. The other problems are overstated.

Wasn't this called out repeatedly over the years and obvious from the start? That a double forum shopping model will produce paperwork and voluntary compliance, in cases where the offender literally didn't know they were misbehaving, but little real action?
> Right now I'd say the dominance is a thin veneer, as the winner takes all nature of each individual seat tends to hide the reducing margins by which each seat is held.

Is this an argument that first-past-the-post reduces the dominance of major parties? It's a weird argument that the dominance of the winners is reduced because their margins were small. The smaller the margins, the larger the portion of the governed who ultimately have no say about the direction of government e.g. the US, where margins (and differences) between the winning and losing parties are tiny.
Looks like Visionary has been sunsetted for new subscriptions. This must be recent, as it was live a week or two ago.

A note for anyone recommending ProtonMail as that changes the calculus for many.
How is Objective-C easier than Swift.
Ummm.. you know why?

Because big companies with deeply unethical business practices are basically saying: "if we annoy you to death, maybe you get governments off our backs and let us make even more money".

They're like Big Tobacco when tobacco ad regulations were introduced.
Cheers, tried exporting using something similar like 4 years ago on a MiBand 2 and it was soooo much data unformatted. I'll check it out again.
Just a customer, but I use Cap1 and I can make a payment on my card and unless it's Fri/Sat/Sun, it will post to my bank the next day.

It always shows as pending in the morning and clears that evening.

I can also make a payment and it will update my CC limit the same day if needed.
Natural Selection is close to what you're after, my friends used to play it a lot.

One of the players is the RTS "Commander", the rest are soldiers on the ground. The commanders role is to distribute both resources and information as necessary to the soldiers.
I don't think the details actually matter that much, what matters is having some way of planning and structuring your work, a basic TODO list in notepad goes a long way, it doesn't matter how you set it up.

A lot of people are majoring in the minors when they try to optimize various aspects of their lives. Most of the benefit comes from getting the basic stuff right. Obsessing over being optimal rarely beats consistently being good enough. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze.
We will do what we're told.

Florida is actually pretty big on banning stuff they don’t like. Was shocked to hear I can’t but 95% everclear (not that I wanted to before learning of that).

I’m still floored at how many things get banned in Florida that are a.o.k. In much deeper conserve states. I lived in SC for several years and it felt less conservative than Florida in many ways.
That collapsed in the Civil War for well-known reasons. Then a second wave of federal intervention was required during the Great Depression. The problem with allowing states to fail - to become failed states - is not just that it costs a lot of human lives, but that they're bordering the non-failed states.
Sorry this is sports related but I’ve always wanted to see a league where players can only play on their regional/city team. So if you were born in Dallas, you can only play for Dallas(you can move to a new city but you always play for the place on the birth certificate. International players would require a draft or maybe an international league. This would create more long term strategy and have the added bonus of pumping money into and improving youth sports
You are right, in an individual case like that, it's hard to make it a class action, but I'm sure there are plenty of cases where they get some bad data from some vendor, and then promptly update 100k accounts with this bad data. Well that's 100k class action participants. :)
My experience of SwiftUI is that all of the love and all of the hate is simultaneously correct.

It makes some tasks much much easier, e.g. low vision users really benefit from variable font sizes, which Storyboards can do but it feels unnecessarily hard to do in a non-fragile way.

I can also see the benefits of reactive UI over the Storyboard approach, especially with UICollectionView and UITableView.

But…

The code examples, even from WWDC slides and Apple docs, don’t even always compile; the widgets are different enough it’s not always clear how to get to the desired UI when you’re starting from UIKit, and the integration between UIKit and SwiftUI (in both directions) isn’t as easy as I’d like, and you have to keep resuming the canvas view because it’s not smart enough to figure out for itself when the code now represents a valid view.
