Sure this might be the case but still adopting a fair.io license is not going to improve things when the simplest way is just to write down in english words what you mean. Courts will argue about the legality long after I'm dead but fo

The elephant in the room here is that you can pay to win in any game by buying a monitor with higher reftesh rate and use a larger GPU that uses more electricity to have 2x more time to react. Fortunately for us humans that seems to stop at

That's why you use dual licensing; if you clearly state that you want the software to use MIT without money involved but something else if money is involved that is generally not a problem, never has been, and never will be: because it

If you read what I wrote the purpose of the A in my LGPL is so big coorps can't use the source for profit without sharing something back if they improve it; avoiding the whole elastic search debacle, like the comment above about MIT us

Well, you use text that says "MIT _BUT_ also commercial license". That's how the law has always worked. You use words to descibe things. Good luck enforcing that MIT in court against my text.

I combine licenses in a weird manner to try and get some honest result: - On the low level more generic tooling I use ALGPL, so a mix of AGLP and LGPL, you can think of it as LGPL but you cannot modify it without sharing the source if you m

It replicates all data everywhere in real-time asynchronously over HTTP. The id of each node is a hash of the key each node uses as privilege to edit. A user node can edit child nodes with it's key. link is used for 1-to-many and word

The Apple 2 was a prototype for the C64. You have to look at the video and audio: the SID is still to our day one of the best analog 8-bit generation synth chips, the VIC-II pushed 8-bit graphics to their logical extreme. NES and SMS both h

I bought an Amiga 1200 yesterday for 300EUR. I had a new transparent case for it since a while back, time to fill that case! I also hoarded breadbins for a while with RR-Net and Nunchuk64 + NES classic controllers, so I definitely have the

No, I have been iterating on different hardware for 5 years, while developing the idea in my head. The real challenge is the physical limits and the scalability problem (radio range, bandwidth, electricity use, longevity and disc space) . I

I prefer a simpler approach where only 100% read uptime is guaranteed: http://talk.binarytask.com/task?id=4662372011677848884 The way to do this is to asynconously write to all nodes in real-time, here you can try it out:

I don't like anycast because I think it requires BGP and backbone access or similar expensive stuff. DNS should have had regions in the main protocol so that people in EU don't use a DNS server in Asia f.ex. But it's too late

This is actually something I see as complementary, so the AI on the server has to decide the general direction and then on the client these flocking simulations can be applied for scale if you have the processing power. I'm thinking ea
