> Are there any resources that talk about what is a safe number of satellites for different altitudes and the effects of space pollution?

Lots. It tracks radius squared, if not cubed. As altitude gets large (which you need for orbit anyway), you can fit a ton of small satellites safely.

The words you are looking for are "losing" and "rogue."

Given that protecting the source IP is not a goal (keyspace is far too small for that), why use something like MD5 when something like CityHash or MurmurHash3 would do?

Tarsnap?

Maybe OP means the C# standard library is richer... I'd believe that.

Presumably the person dumping names and emails (PII/PID) on pastebin has little regard for gag orders. (And no motivation not to reveal such an order, if proof were readily available.)

Awesome, looking forward to that day :). Keep up the great work.

If they had evidence of that, why wouldn't they have pasted it as well? I'm assuming it's baseless speculation.

Btw, has anyone actually confirmed any of these emails / names are real? I have a coinbase account and am not mentioned in the leak.

How? They still have gobs of principal lying around making gains. Unless you mean it will help enable more progressive taxation and income redistribution via the federal government?

GPLv3 doesn't see very widespread use.

Fedora tracks licenses on a package by package basis. You can fairly easily determine what the license of a library you use is, and recursively examine dependencies to see if there is something objectionable in there.

FreeBSD ships GPLv3 ports (gcc47, ...). So... it's not just smooth sailing there, either.

No need to hate on either platform.

The last time I looked at upb, it only supported parsing, which was a deal-breaker. Have you implemented serializing since then? It's hard to tell from the git log, which is mostly "dump from google internal sources XX-YY-ZZZZ".

I'm very excited about upb! Thanks for your work on it over the years. Do you have any tasks that an outside contributor could help with?

Thanks!

Yes, sure. GDB-level debugging of Python programs, without something like Pyringe, is pretty useless. So I am excited for the Python-level tool for debugging Python.

> The ports selection in FreeBSD is second to none. Linux has nothing close.

[citation needed].

If you mean Linux-just-the-kernel, sure? But that's not really comparable.

Every Linux distro has a collection of 3rd-party packages; neither FreeBSD's 3rd party package integration (ports) nor breadth of software is particularly exceptional in this space.

And FreeBSD doesn't seem to attract as many volunteers to keep its port collection up to date, or at least that has been my experience.

> Lots of imbedded projects are based on BSD and always will be. The insanity of GPL licensing.

Sure. I work on a BSD-derived embedded system at $DAYJOB. But the GPL doesn't prevent Linux use in lots of spaces.

As long as we're talking about professionals, Usain Bolt can sprint at 27 mph, well above 10 mph :).
