Congratulations! This looks neat!

Thank you so much for sharing! This sounds like a really fun way to spend a Sunday in Seattle!

This article suggests that positions are estimated when the aircraft isn’t in a coverage area. https://thepointsguy.com/2017/09/how-flight-tracking-sites-w...

It’s also worth noting that FlightAware has partnered with Aireon (owned by Iridium according to Wikipedia) to put ADSB receivers on satelites that were launched with Iridum’s NEXT satelite constellation in low-earth orbit. Sounds like that data is not yet included in the free data FlightAware provides on its website, but is available commercially. https://flightaware.com/commercial/aireon

He set a world record for being the youngest pilot to circumnavigate the globe solo at 19. The record has been beaten since then, but what an accomplishment!

He’s also an MIT student studying electrical engineering and computer science.

Yes, of course, I'd completely forgotten about that achievement.

And even if they don’t, many if not most of their dependencies do.

Agreed. I've just donated, and the link for that is https://haveibeenpwned.com/Donate

Looks like it uses some Illuminate (Laravel) components: https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/master/composer.json

I sincerely wish that more educators would teach about Git. Obviously I'm going on personal experience, but how many people are coming out of college with CS or BIS degrees and they've not even setup a Git repo before? From my experience that number is too high. Hopefully offerings like this will help solve that issue.

I remember using SourceForge back in the day. Not so much for hosting my own code, but for downloading projects. I don't know for sure and I'm venturing a guess, but I feel like they kind of fell behind and spun their wheels for a bit.

I've used both and they both work quite well. I prefer Github for the community, and I find their design and overall experience to be nicer. But Bitbucket really isn't bad either.
