Datagrip. I spend a lot of time working in databases and this has been a huge quality of life improvement over ssms and related tools.

This type of rating system is always disappointing. Candidates and interviewers each have different ideas of what expertise means -- I guess because there is no real context around…

In VMC you still have a responsibility to see and avoid, regardless of whether you're on an instrument flight plan or not. (Ref: Regulation 14 CFR Part 91.113 (b)) Radar coverage h…

How do you rectify these numbers? The sun is 99.86% of the mass of our solar system and is quite average. [1] Dark matter is ~27% of the mass of the observable universe. [2] Are yo…

It's very easy to look at Alphabet's financials and see that there are no preferred or common shareholder dividends. Since you haven't done that, I presume you are genuinely curiou…

Give us both logins, please.

In visual conditions it would be a total non-issue - GPS/VOR/IRS guidance to the airport (or radar vectors or pilotage), with a visual landing. For an ILS approach to minimums in h…

Why would you need inspection if you are flying privately? I'm a GA pilot, what am I going to do, hijack myself with a fork?
