Good point, thanks for that - there is a lot error handling I haven't shown but hadn't taken into account memory leaks.

I need a very good reason before using any external library in an attempt to keep the total code base as clean as possible. It is just too easy to be rushed and bring in a heap of code, so I prefer to use SQL instead of ORM's. All ac

Email and calendar are still the primary tools in my corporate job, despite trying and using many other collaboration tools. Otherwise, email still used 'a bit' but only because no one else uses it socially anymore. Calendar is ne

Any sort of versioned online wiki tool is better than word documents with filenames - this can be your own wiki, or sharepoint or Drive. Non tech savvy users can read the page to see the latest version, and others can track through history

The best part I've found with dogfooding is that even though you know exactly how it all works (and yes, you can miss some issues because of this) , actually using the product daily can make you realise - this isn't working well o

The most important way to do this is to actually be a user of your product, e.g. "Eating your own dog food". This doesn't mean logging in, trying all the features and playing with it for an hour - you have to really use it

In the very early stages of development it doesn't really matter how you build your database schema, but spending some time getting the data model as clean as possible it pretty important. Agree that scripting is important once data mo

That looks really cool, though there is a small bug. Before I spend 10 years making the olive oil from scratch, I need to know how to make 'soil'

Do you have a written plan on how you will make money with this - like a business plan? If not, take a day off and work out a complete outline on what you want to achieve and how you will get there. I totally get what you are saying and ha

I think unit testing is underrated in this area - no documentation can be better than some additional unit tests that show exactly how to use the code in the real world. Even if it blends over a little into integration testing, the addition

They certainly wouldn't be calling lots and lots of API's, as that would likely trigger some antivirus software or at least leave traces in system logs. The sophistication of this software is that it did all this undetected.

It's sad enough when domains lapse and die, but what is really annoying is every site seems to change structures - bookmarking is becoming so unreliable these days.

Good answer. I don't have a strong maths background, (had to relearn quite a bit), but found the coursera course to be really useful (and a lot of fun)

Nice work, though I can't test the live demo as I don't have a webcam on my desktop. You could add some sample results on the github repo (or some tests) with photos of different quality and complexity showing before and face reco

I think it depends on how long you want the software to last for. At one end is a client wanting a quick mock up - yes use libraries. At the other end is a surgically implanted heart monitor - please dont use a library that depends on an AP

I don't know, but I just assumed they use it everywhere. They have a very good mapping of related terms and a fairly consistent mapping. A visible example is when you look for organisations and they have a classification against it. e.

Yes, if you already know SQL and by using bind-parameters, then I [personally] can't see a tangible benefit for using an ORM. They can certainly make for cleaner looking code, and are useful for people who don't really understand

Yes, once everyone thinks that 'Data is the new oil', things like public shared standards fly out the window. There are many open upper level ontologies available (I counted 16 when I did a review a few years ago - http:/&#x

Yes, this is probably the biggest issue, and mainstream media don't help by mostly publishing 'bad GMO' stories where no one hears of the hundreds of success stories (in fact you could apply that to most of the sciences)

If the database changes are substantial enough to break the applications, I would have a new schema setup to have enough time to test carefully and then when ready, point the application to the new schema. For small changes, we use scripts

That looks like a good tool, which can make some nice visual notes. There is a typo in your sign up line though (should be weeks) "Try out for free for 2 week!"

I don't think the main issue is what tool you use is, but rather where your master copy lives. I was vigilant using txt/docs in a nice structured folder setup on a local server, but as I started using Google docs / Evernote
