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 the question. Maybe it's a trope to say, but it seems

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 has become ubiquitous in most places, but there's n

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 you claiming that exoplanets and asteroids represent 27% of th

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 curious. There are probably a lot of reasons that p

Do you know of any resources or tips to improve skimming skills? I am impressed that you can skim a book in a minute (even skimming a sentence or two per chapter might take longer than that for me). I've been trying to improve my readi

I was surprised that the researchers were able to obtain keys quickly with most of these methods and, apparently, with other processes running on the machine (though, in the case of the acoustic, "coil whine", attack, they acknowl

Yes, of course. The poster is sharing information that shaped their opinion. The location is irrelevant. In such an informal setting, the quality and worth of the source are up to the consumer; particularly when it is such a simple investig

I like both "A Tour of C++" by Stroustrup and "Effective Modern C++" by Scott Meyers. Though, the latter is a bit dense if you are unfamiliar with c++.

Aren't there a lot of protections for these loans? I thought they could not be discharged through bankruptcy, et cetera. My intuition is that this would reduce risk; seems a bit odd.

I'm in the same boat and it can be quite frustrating. The main issue that I've found is most of my classmates tend to be people who are "dipping their toes in" to the water of higher education and aren't sure what t

For people nearing the end of high-school, please go to college. I don't have a degree and have been extremely lucky; I managed to get into middle-management and have been successful. The problem is that I'm not as "portable&

Yep! I got a TRS-80 as a hand-me-down and spent HOURS typing line-by-line Basic code from a book to replicate their programs (mostly animated faces, simple games, etc). I had no clue what I was doing but it was a blast. :)

There is somewhat of a stigma regarding government employees because they are mainly unionized and impossible to fire. They can pretty much get away with anything short of criminal activity (and sometimes even that). What incentive do they

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 hard instrument conditions, it could be problematic - especia

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?

I stopped when she "grew confused" by the weird articles. Perhaps she shouldn't be viewing webpages at all. Most people would recognize this instantly as nonsense, click the back button, and select another search result.
