That's kind of what I thought too. Our app is very Modal heavy (including modal inception), but I can't think of any case where the suggested alternatives would actually be better. And that's backed up by the fact that our us

I have about 1300hrs in 206s. They are great for off airport operations, and can handle very stiff crosswinds in the right hands, but I don't have much else good to say about them. PITA to get into, slow, and they handle poorly on the

Just the back door. I have about 1300hrs 206 time mostly Northern Canada. Its not really a huge issue.

I agree. I have around 1500 hrs in 150s/172s/206s, and about the same in Piper Cherokees, Twin Comanches, and Navajos. I'd pick Piper any day of the week in any category. Except for maybe off-field operations Pipers are bette

I've worked on Mooney's and sat in them but never flown one. They're slick but I find then cramped and difficult to work on. I'd take a Commache 260 over a Mooney any day of the week. Not quite as fast/economical, b

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one to think this. I have a blog on blogspot (formerly blogger), and I had to go check it to make sure it wasn't wiped... definitely still there lol. Not sure what this author is talking a

I tend to agree, and usually go straight for the schema when I start on a project, because the data structure is the model of the real world problem. With regard to migrations though, I tend to disagree. Code is very easy to manage in versi

I definitely understand your reasoning, but personally I don't see how I would be more productive by switching languages. Maybe I just don't know what I'm missing, but I feel pretty dang productive with my current stack. And

I 100% agree. The first language I learned in highschool was VB6. I only went to VB .NET when VB6 stopped working. I next learned PHP because it gave me superpowers on the web that VB couldn't. When Ruby on Rails became popular, then N

Thanks for sharing, that's encouraging for us. We spent 1.3 yrs building our software, and it took us 8 months to get our first paying customer (we did a lot of long free trials/beta users), and after 1yr since launch we're u

Exactly. The large project I'm working on has 100k LOC that I've personally written. However out od curiosity once I ran CLOC on the vendor folder... and it gave up after 2.5 million LOC. I could never possibly understand all the

You talk as if that's a bad thing. As a developer I don't want to wade into the details of systems I'm using, I want to spend my time writing code that solves the business problems I'm tasked with solving. If there is a

Yes that's good news. However when you say the curve is flattening, I believe you mean we have reached peak daily new cases, meaning the number of new cases we see is going to start declining from here. Collectively many people seem to

It could only be exponential if the population was infinite. It has to be more of a bell curve, because as infection grows, there are fewer hosts to infect, and therefore growth would start to decline.

I'm not an expert on infection control, but I work closely with people who either work in the infection control department of a hospital, or are running their own infection prevention and control consultancy. They live and breathe this

Its a fair point, I'm just pointing out the fact that freedom is in the eye of the collective beholder.

But they don't have civil forfeiture, they have a less tyrannical justice system, they have fewer incarcerated people per capita, so there's that. Americans claim they are free, but only if they contort the definition. There'

Masks and gloves are ineffective for people who don't know how to use them -- wearing a mask? Great. Now you just felt hot and pulled the mask down onto your chin. Congratulations, the outside of the mask is no longer sterile. You&#x27
