makemyworkforme | 1 year ago | on: Is Atlas Shrugged the New Vibe?

As someone who grew up in a society with rampant corruption (India), Fountainhead (the destruction of buildings at the end of the novel) and Atlas Shrugged (motivated me into leaving India to self-implode while I traveled to US to have a better life) quite a impression on my teenage years. It was only later when I thought about these books more that I realized how crazy they are.

In the meantime, India didn't self-implode, at least not yet.

None of them were commercialized in Germany though.

Not as many developers though, yet.

Can you create a group and set a sticky bit for ACLs for your root for the filesystem with read permissions for that group? That way all files created under the filesystem root will have read permissions for that user, but you cannot modify anything.

People who are these fans don't really use git. They use github subset of git. Hence, all these problems. In my experience, people who actually use git instead of github don't have these issues.

I must admit that when I first learnt git, I thought that the only way to correctly use git was to know the object model of git. I thought this was important because git is at the end a data manager and I then though that one should know the data model you are manipulating in order to manipulate it in correct way. In that respect, I always found git commands mostly intuitive.

Much later in my career I learnt that people were using git without even knowing anything about what a Merkle tree is and I must say I was extremely surprised. I'm not saying its good or bad, just describing my younger days.

The contributor owns the copyright. In Germany for example, there's no transfer of copyright, only non-exclusive license to use. The Developer Certificate of Origin can be used to be make it legal.

How do you need CLAs to clarify copyright ownership? DCoE does the job equally well.

It's a very common way to write in Indian English. What is probably happening here is that ChatGPT is trained in text over the internet and it is possible that there's lot more Indian English text on internet than others, and hence this effect.

No.
