The hole in the rules called out, from the OC you linked:

A handful of private member's bills introduced in Parliament over the last couple of decades have tried to remedy what seems to be an arbitrary distinction in law. The most recent was in 2016, when Saskatchewan MP Cathay Wagantall tabled Bill C-225, which would have made it a "separate offence to cause injury or death to a preborn child during the commission of an offence against the child's mother."

ABI stability implies API stability and breaking the API wont help you if you have the source unless you plan to go and change every single project using the broken API in existence. Considering how many years it took for multiple projects to manage the Gtk2->Gtk3 API breakage (with some projects deciding to just not bother - see Ardour) this isn't something to handwave with a "just a concern for closed source software".

> The openbsd project is actively hostile to closed source commercial programs with their laissez-faire attitude toward abi stability

OpenBSD has the "benefit" of having everything in a single repository and when they break something they can also fix any uses in the same commit. I'm also certain that because of that they rarely actually break things that would need a huge number of updates, so that single repository also acts as a "do we really need this?" filter.

This is an exceptional case that doesn't apply to the overwhelming majority of projects out there which are projects that either expose an API/ABI of their own or projects that consume 3rd party API/ABIs that they have no control over.

> I have this enormous stable of open source software. and it all runs just fine.

This is because others are doing the work of keeping that software working on OpenBSD but once you encounter a situation where you need some software that hasn't been updated for a while to keep up with OpenBSD's API breakage, it'll become apparent that having access to the source code isn't some magic bullet and someone will need to do the work to bring it up to date.

Of course not having access to the source code is worse, but having the code is only one part of keeping things working, not the entire story. And IMO when we're discussing about projects that mainly or completely run by volunteers in their free time, i think it is a good idea to avoid situations where APIs and ABIs break so that limited free time is spent doing more useful and/or interesting things (i do not think anyone really likes fixing API/ABI breakage).
The same thing happened with the Epic implementation in Copenhagen (which might have been before Finland? I forget). But it also happened in Trondheim in Norway at the end of last year: everyone said it was a terrible idea, both technical and medical people, they did it anyways, and everything when straight to hell.
'switch' is a really, really nice language construct that was fully implemented long before C89. Using lots of nested 'if's instead is not a good idea.

I will dispute that. Double genocide theory is a debunked right wing nationalist myth, sorry. [1]

I'm not saying they were saints but they were on the same moral plane of the Allies, wishing to set up buffer states instead of absorbing them fully into the USSR. Political repression was a real issue in the eastern bloc countries but it's no where near as bad as what the US, France, or UK did in the post war period with their colonies, segregation, bombings, or coups.

> The reason Third Room has persisted is because there are enterprise folks willing to pay for it and support the team as a standalone thing - you can see the enterprisey showreel video at the end of the OP. It’s also very useful when fundraising for Element and Matrix to be able to point at an exotic shiny project to show Matrix’s long-term potential - a bit like Beeper have their Beepberry device. You can almost think of it as a marketing tool.

That makes sense, thanks for the details. Though I would still argue that the way Third Room is communicated on sends mixed signals to anyone somewhat familiar with the space.

For example, having entire foundation-authored blog posts dedicated to updates to Third Room (which I did not think was a project owned and maintained by the foundation?), with demos published on foundation-owned channels, where other projects (e.g. Synapse, bridges, etc) don't get as much as a tweet nowadays (apart from the spec, i.e. Matrix itself), really sends me the signal that Third Room is one of the few projects the foundation is heavily investing on, with a higher priority than anything else. I'm aware that this blog post does mention where the project sits with regards to the foundation's resources, but I'm not really sure a lone paragraph is enough to shift the balance.

> Separately, “the entire Matrix trust & safety team” was not laid off

You implied otherwise back in December though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34130243

To be clear, I'm not commenting on the situation as it is right now (and I'm in no position of doing so, I'm only operating on publicly-available info and there isn't much to describe what's going on at the moment). What I'm commenting on is the decision back when Element laid off part of its staff to, according to the information available publicly, lay off the trust and safety team, but keep the third room team on board. Which imo sounds like Third Room being prioritised over moderation/t&s.

>And we would all be studying how horrible Mongol Colonialism was.

that presumes that human culture would have developed the ideas regarding colonialism which we have and which after all are a late developed critique that would probably not have been possible without the ideas of humanism and similar intellectual branches, and the exposure of those ideas to people who were being oppressed by forces that claimed to espouse the same.
In my experience, "tankie" is more or less used these days to refer to "authoritarian leftists", people who claim to be on the left but support authoritarian nominally socialist regimes.

There's plenty of USA-hating anarchists who aren't being called tankies. The authoritarianism is a pretty important part of the term.

Though this isn't entirely incompatible with what you said, the major non-US geopolitical powers have historically been nominally socialist, and also happen to be authoritarian; so people who support non-US-aligned powers will have been supporters of the USSR or China, and I'm comfortable calling those people tankies.

There's actually a time that's generally closest to the middle of the night as measured by the start and end of the night. In fact, it's shortened from that very phrase "middle of the night". It's called midnight.

In summer around here, 5:30am is approximately the end of the night, as measured by the sun.

> Around half of developers write below average code, by definition.

By definition, half the code out there is of below median quality. Whether or not half the code out there is of quality below the arithmetic mean depends on assumptions about the distribution of code quality. I would suspect that much more than half the code out there is "below average", so to speak.

This isn’t a totally fair comparison. When people buy shoes, their criteria isn’t normally as low as “covers my feet”. They have a specific style they want, a specific material, and will shop amongst shoes that fit that description. Crocs and dress shoes are not interchangeable to a lot of people.

A better comparison is to look at, for instance, Johnston and Murphy vs. Alden. Then you get a more fair comparison. For instance, one has welted soles and so they can be replaced without changing out the upper. Those soles are leather and provide excellent comfort. One uses full grain leather uppers, one does not. Everyone doesn’t need those, but if you’re someone who is wearing dress shoes to the office every day, it may be worth the benefit. You also don’t have to worry about replacing the shoe every year (though you do have to maintain it).
13 removals in the last day? That seems really tiny, but the community is also tiny so makes sense.

If you've ever run a service with open registration + user generated content, you know there is a lot of stuff to clean up. This seems to be a relatively small community, so there is also little to clean up.

Not sure what the ratio is though, which is more important than just counts of how many removals.
I for one, do not want to see this technology locked behind a chosen few corporations, whom have already long since lost my trust and respect.

I'm old enough to have seen the interplay of corporations, the government, and regulatory capture, and see what that's done to the pocketbook of the middle class.

The Taliban weren't doing what we were doing.

From the wapo [1] summary:

In general, the pooled data showed that for men and women younger than age 60, the greatest relative reductions in the risk of dying prematurely came with step counts of between about 8,000 and 10,000 per day.

For people older than age 60, the threshold was a little lower. For them, the sweet spot in terms of reduced mortality risk came at between 6,000 and 8,000 steps a day.

Russian military history going back centuries showcases scorched earth tactics. Russian have burned Russia during war to defeat enemies. This is a long standing Russian military doctrine. Everything can be rebuilt. It’s been done before. Tanks can’t roll in mud. Seems simple and convincing enough, specially when retreat would have possibly fatal political consequences.

Russian history has more to add to this conversation regarding the “population” and taking in of their considerations when Russia’s elite made and make decisions. The population itself historically seems to have accepted this state of affairs.

(It is not “Russophobia” to remind of Russian military’s history when discussing Russian military tactics.)
