Exactly. It feels more like making a snake clone with fun features. Second guy learned some stuff, but was a dick about it. Ultimately no one was hurt tho and this doesn’t seem like a big deal

I think you misunderstood. they don’t restrict it to be petty. Allowing lots of concurrent downloads means paying for more bandwidth, or it means the site goes down.
But games and art aren’t exactly like that. People train by copying great art, and code and games especially are iterative. It’s not like he took a super useful thing and made millions by claiming he invented it. He took a game, made a clone and added features, admitting it was a clone. Like snake and pong and brickbreaker.
Maybe I’m bad at itch.io but it looks like they are both free. Lemme offer another analogy.
Your and your friend have sandwhich parties and one day you compare notes. Your friend’s sandwich is really good, so you make it yourself and add some things. Now you really like the sandwich so you throw a sandwhcih party with the new sandwich and tell everyone it’s based on your friend’s sandwich.
Then your friend asks why you coppied his sandwich and you’re a jerk about.
That’s how this reads to me
Guess I just don’t understand how it screws the other guy
I feel like it matters that he’s not selling it though… He liked the idea, added features he liked and is sharing what he made. He also mentions that it’s a clone. He sounds like a jerk, but like…
also great for old windows disk recover. Testdisk is awesome
because grams are small, but 174cm makes more sense than 1.7m
I think they should also be paid using their state’s disability/unemployment system and get food through their state’s EBT system.
A lot of people are recommending version control. While it’s good practice, that isn’t a requirement of sharing your code. If you want to make it really simple at first, add a License (as others have mentioned) and just post the code anywhere. Upload a tar archive to a website, use sourceforge or even lemmy.
Learning git would still be useful for you and potential contributors but it is not a requirement. Open source just means you share the source and explicitely provide a license for others to use and modify it
But if it was illegal to research 99% of your current field even if the information existed you may feel differently
Especially because people who want to pirate games for playing have no qualms. Right now the restriction is specificall on people who want to research legally
There are records of why it was bent though. It was one of the first pyramids. The king wanted it very tall and steep. he ended up being burried in a pyramid with less slope. Do you have any archeological evidence of complex geometry being used?
Again, the pyramids are an impressive feat of craftsmanship and the organization of labor, but does that mean they employed the pythagorean theorem?
They may very well have known geometry, or at least developed during the course of their civilization but I don’t think the pyramids represent sufficient evidence for them definitely knowing the pythagorean theorem
edit: also if you haven’t heard the podcast, i recommend it. It’s pretty cool
What makes you say that? I’m not an expert. Accurate geometry or not, the pyramids are pretty cool. What about them means it couldn’t have been trial and error?

About halfway up, however, the angle of incline decreases from over 51 degrees to about 43 degrees, and the sides rise less steeply, causing it to be known as the Bent Pyramid. The change in angle was probably made during construction to give the building more stability
Depends on what I’m doing. For most of my use cases, not really. For universal paperclips, I worry it’ll melt
My t430 is still going, but my x201 is in better shape.
The recent “Fall of Civilizations” podcast talks a lot about the history of the pyramids. They may still have known a lot about geometery, but the slopes and angles involved in the pyramid building seem to have been trial and error as much as anything
Quite possible.
I’m not sure I understand this statement? Isn’t that what the article says?
It says in the article that he explicitly stated it was a clone, so yeah. only bad thing was being kinda a jerk when asked to take it down
