So.. flow dynamics for industrial process control? Or something in that ballpark?
If you want to protect a proprietary dataset, the best approach would be to store it encrypted, and decrypt it based on a personal license or hardware key. This implies some level of OS interaction. To cut to the meat of it: C++ is, generally speaking, too low-level for that.
Start with identifying your target OS, look up what mechanisms are provided for signed/tamper proof applications, and try to design your application within the constraints of those examples.
E.g. for a Windows platform you would need to look at guides for creating tamper proof applications with .NET, but you could do the same on MacOS, or Java. The thing is, you need some type of encryption, and OS level support that is impractically hard to circumvent. At the end of the day, it's all just bits and bytes when it runs, nothing can obfuscate the data way, you can only make it impractical to intercept it.

I mean, there's like, nothing, in Web Development for weeks and weeks. Does nobody here do any web development? Or are all such experts that they have no questions?

I thought about this question long time ago.
My speculation is that lesser people are working on web development areas in US now...

I can only speak for myself, but posting programming questions here on CP, especially for web development, is a last resort. It's unusual when I have a web development issue where I can't find solutions using Google...which occasionally leads back here! 
That's true with all programming questions. I don't ask here because I usually don't need to...even if I did, I'd likely post under Q/A due to the fact that, as you mentioned, the other forums don't get that much traffic.

Well, exactly today I decided to put a spin on one of my starting words and I hit it right-ish off the bat.
EDIT: And oh my gosh, the two words I used actually describe what's happened with this Wordle  I don't know how to put the "spoiler" text though.

Very interesting one for me. I had too many choices as well which was surprising given the letters I had figured.

I've recently rebooted the GFX documentation, and am more or less retiring the single monolithic code project article here in favor of a wiki style format, probably hosted on github.
As I've outlined the project and created the table of contents, it started to dawn on me how utterly wide and deep GFX is, from the drivers all the way down to the pixels you can drill down and down and down. Add to that all of the features, and the scope is huge.
9 markdown documents, 100s of lines each, at least.
Here's the TOC so far (incomplete but pretty much fleshed out) just to give you an idea of this codebase. Wow.
I can't believe I even wrote it, much less in the time I wrote it.
1. [Pixels](./pixels.md)
- 1.1 [Declaring common pixels](./pixels.md#1.1)
- 1.2 [Channels](./pixels.md#1.2)
- 1.3 [Colors](./pixels.md#1.3)
- 1.4 [Color models](./pixels.md#1.4)
- 1.5 [The alpha channel](./pixels.md#1.5)
- 1.6 [Indexed pixels](./pixels.md#1.6)
- 1.7 [Declaring custom pixels](./pixels.md#1.7)
- 1.8 [Converting pixels](./pixels.md#1.8)
- 1.9 [Metadata](./pixels.md#1.9)
2. [Draw targets](./draw_targets.md)
- 2.1 [Sources and destinations](./draw_targets.md#2.1)
- 2.2 [Bitmaps](./draw_targets.md#2.2)
- 2.2.1 [Standard bitmaps](./draw_targets.md#2.2.1)
- 2.2.2 [Const bitmaps](./draw_targets.md#2.2.2)
- 2.2.3 [Large bitmaps](./draw_targets.md#2.2.3)
- 2.3 [Drivers](./draw_targets.md#2.3)
- 2.4 [Viewports](./draw_targets.md#2.4)
- 2.5 [Sprites](./draw_targets.md#2.5)
- 2.6 [Custom](./draw_targets.md#2.6)
- 2.6.1 [Common members](./draw_targets.md#2.6.1)
- 2.6.2 [Capabilities](.draw_targets.md#2.6.2)
- 2.6.3 [Draw source members](./draw_targets.md#2.6.3)
- 2.6.4 [Draw destination members](./draw_targets.md#2.6.4)
- 2.6.5 [Initialization](./draw_targets.md#2.6.5)

- 4.1.1 Layout considerations
