> Ultimately, the big question is: what can you do to combat clones? And in reality there's not a whole lot you can do.

Of course there is. Get good. Make better games. It matters not if someone else reimplements your idea with inferior execution. If you're better at it than they are, your game is the better "clone" and celebrated for it.

Even better: Make something so crazy that nobody can successfully copy it even it they try, because they can't figure out what makes it work.
If true then this means before you even download the program you must agree to its license. only then are you allowed to download which in turn copies the program to ram and then to a FS.

I think it’s cool that such a huge community is behind things like Web3, NFTs etc. That also means a ton of talent and investments is being directed into this.

But is this stealing the focus from things that could make a bigger impact to human life? Are there other better things we could be doing instead with the amount of energy spent in these areas?

What is gained by selling rattlesnakes to children in stores? The harms outweigh the benefits. People who need to study rattlesnakes have ample opportunity. Similarly, chemicals that are extremely risky to handle should not be sold to children but introduced in a classroom. (OP's example is different because the chemistry sets he complains about not being available actually are available to children today.) It's not like there isn't plenty of other chemistry to learn about, and this setup makes it more likely that more children will survive as chemists to make important discoveries. (See the David Hahn story.)
I pick REST over GQL and such also. GQL has some distinct disadvantages that people seem to gloss over.

Front end architecture seldom is oriented around making efficient queries. My last slot that used it as glorified REST and didn't shrink the number of queries to the backend. It does make more sense if you have a variety of consumers of the data, but meh, after my experience I still wouldn't use GQL.

Higher complexity in the backend. Our GQL backend was schema stitched together microservices. Highly complex, random services would bring the whole thing down, and it was not understood why. The schema stitching happened on every request and seemed very "heavy and slow" to me. Not all of that was the fault of GQL, but, it definitely provided more room to mess things up.

Caching nightmare. Heavier client library. And on and on. Grass is not greener IMHO.
At this level of accuracy, I wonder if there are effects even the researchers aren't aware of that could cause drift. Or maybe it's best to say they're that accurate under certain assumptions. I would expect a cosmic ray or a lightning strike or an earthquake to violate the umpteenth nines of accuracy they're claiming.

Well, you’ve got to poke the hub as well when changes occur, which makes it moderately incompatible with static site generation, requiring some kind of manual action after you publish, which could be comparatively straightforward if you use a site generator that allows you to define programmable post-publish hooks, or could be difficult if it doesn’t and you publish to something that doesn’t guarantee instant updates.
My broken-record reaction to headline-worthy research findings:

Honestly, it doesn't seem like society has decided any such thing w/r/t self-driving! The couple of deaths from self-driving have attracted enormous negative media attention, and I suspect that if 100 people had been killed by self-driving cars, there would have been immense public pressure to shut down the programs. The public is not running cost-benefit analysis on this.

They're probably mainly thinking about Midtown East, which is almost purely an office hub and indeed pretty empty on weekends. It's kinda nice being there and feeling eerily alone.

It used to be FiDi was the same, but it's become pretty residential. Still, I know many restaurants there that only open M-F, especially on the eastern side where fewer tourists venture.

Everywhere else in Manhattan is sufficiently residential enough (or in the case of Midtown, touristy enough) to be lively on nights and weekends.

> So it's ok if someone takes your car the next time you park on a free parking lot?

Not the best analogy since the parking lot is just an empty physical space. Taking it away wouldn’t also “delete” your car. The car is actually a separate physical object. But in a cloud drive, the file and the space are the same. Taking away the space is obviously going to take away the file.

On top of all that, the file still exists elsewhere for most people.

I prefer some extensions to Netty EventLoop and EventLoopGroup classes. You get very clear semantics on the pool of threads you create.

As far as Runnable semantics, use CompletableFuture or lambda enclosures and very little of the reuse issues appear.

Interesting that page suggests that the wordle dictionary is 'at most 11.11 bits per word', which works out to 18015 bytes, slightly higher than was achieved here.

Golf.horse is measuring the payload plus the compressor, which I don't believe the author is doing, and is important when trying to be objective about the relative strength of solutions. Otherwise you can store the entire file out of band in the compressor, emit 1 bit in the output file, and then the compressor just returns the expected value on 1 and throws an error on 0 saying the file was corrupt.

> I think it does since meta-data increases merge complexity, which is probably a headache when dealing with a distributed system.

I disagree. In Git, merging always happens locally, between two local commits; there is nothing distributed about merging itself.

> With a centralized system, you are basically creating a lock when you do a rename/copy/etc. which doesn't translate well to distributed systems.

I don't think that is really true. If I rename a file in Subversion, that doesn't involve "creating a lock". I rename the file locally (using "svn mv"), Subversion locally remembers I have done it, but doesn't send anything to the server. When I want to commit, it then contacts the server and uploads the commit data, including the rename tracking info. Now, that commit operation takes a write lock on the branch – to prevent any other commit for that branch being processed at the same time – but it is the exact same write lock regardless of whether renames are involved or not. If we take Subversion as an example of a centralised version control system with rename tracking, the rename tracking and the locking are orthogonal. (When I say "locking" here, I mean the internal locks within the Subversion server, not the end-user-visible advisory locks you get with the "svn lock" command–that advisory locking feature is unrelated to the topic of rename tracking.)

Like Git, merging is essentially a local process in Subversion – the client constructs a merge commit, and then sends the completed merge commit to the server. The actual merge, meaning construction of the merge commit contents, always happens on the client side, at least as far as the core Subversion protocol is concerned.

Certainly not, but if you're going to rely on cloud providers at all, definitely don't rely on ones that you aren't paying since they have no obligation to ensure your data stays online.

LGPL absolutely does care about linking. Section 4d specifically talks about shared libraries and requires you to be able to "re-link" the application with a modified version of the library, if dynamic linking is not used.

When people talk about how the LGPL isn't a good license, it's largely because A) C and C++ are really the only two systems languages for which dynamic linking is even an option and B) header-only libraries, templates/generics, and heavy use of inlining can make "re-linking" a statically linked executable basically impossible.
> Of course there is. Get good. Make better games.

That was kind of the article's point. If your game is good enough, it will be cloned, including the name possibly. And then customers will search for it and play the inferior copy (possibly not yours). Especially if you haven't released on all platforms right away, which is extremely difficult to pull off.

And if you market it at all, there could be clones out there before your game is even finished and out there, because you're busy trying to make something good and they're just rushing to get something that looks like the screenshot out there as soon as possible.

> Even better: Make something so crazy that nobody can successfully copy it even it they try, because they can't figure out what makes it work.
