Idk why everyone is talking about gender segregation in chess today (and I don't care, so don't answer), but it's interesting to see the discussion veering accidentally close to the real question, which is "why is any competition gender segregated?" Is it 1) because men are obviously superior to women so it would be unfair to women to make them compete with men? Or maybe it's 2) the patriarchy dictates that a man must never have to lose to a woman. It's a mystery.

My personal view is that given recent events, if contributing to a project requires signing a CLA with a company (instead of an independent organization) then you should only contribute to the project if you're getting paid for it. For example, if your employer wants you to send in bug fixes so you don't have to maintain them. This may be a bit strong, but executing a CLA outside your employer's eye may be legally hazardous anyway in a 'we own all the work you do anywhere' environment.

Reading through HN (I know, I know) about the #HashiCorp licensing change. Lots of folks get the rug pull and why it’s so shitty to the open source community. Folks defending HC, too. I’m just thinking about all the conferences who accepted talks about HC products only because they were open source. That’s free marketing. On the backbone of the open source community. Blessed with a certain kind of legitimacy. (Many conferences simple won’t accept “vendor” talks either at all or outside of paid slots.) I really hope open source conferences are pulling any accepted talks now that the licenses have changed. HC has fundamentally changed how DevRel needs to work at the company now. No longer able to pretend it’s about serving the OSS community.

Attached: 1 image When the BBC gets it *VERY* wrong so even muskland provides an important community context note. That's a "real terms" pay cut... or maybe more accurately, a negative real terms wage rise if you will. If inflation is at 7.9% and your wages rise at 7.8%, then your wages are "rising" slower than inflation.
