I wonder how long before they can do the same with cameras? A bit of computer vision and you have more complete data... Not sure if there is still need for better completeness though.

Suggestion: you might want to put terms "opensource" and "Apache license" on homepage somewhere (and a link to sources). From your comment I knew MapDB was opensource and I still spent a few minutes before finding the so

Oops, you are correct... the joke is on me. Thanks for correcting me.

They do. [0] And even their nonpaid support was absolutely awesome the one time I needed it. Not conclusive evidence by any means, but I was impressed by the way the bug (/feature request) was handled... [0] http://www.hapro

Not sure about that... HAproxy is a proven technology (very reliable and a joy to use at that) in this field while Nginx is a newcomer and needs to establish its credibility first. I personally wouldn't use such technology for load bal

Be careful not to turn it on though (yes, there's a story behind that ;( ).

This. The minute I read "SOAP" I imagined the fault lies there. It probably does, but this was lower hanging fruit... :)

I think the problem is that the typical engineers that work on these devices are used to work on a whole different layer - hardware. But they know how to put together a few simple CGI scripts and probably don't even know the dangers th

I am genuinly curious how they manage that. In a world where every user is followed I don't think the robots have a chance to fool the anti-fraud algorithms. At least with the bigger players (Google, Facebook) they don't.

You have a point, but they could compete on many grounds even with developers. From the top of my head: better UX, self-hosting option (AFAIK Slack doesn't offer this - and it would be a huge point to us), advanced usage metrics,... I

You missed the second part: "However ...". :) My point was that it is the planning step that is extremely difficult, not the estimating one. With most real-world projects the project plan must follow changing requirements (based o

For experienced programmer this is most certainly true. If you are just starting however it is much easier if tutorial uses the same platform you are targeting.

Tl;DR: containers aren't (yet?) suitable for protecting host from privilege escalation. In our case this is just fine... we are using Docker for app distribution (so we don't have to rely on libraries installed on host systems but

IMHO it is quite easy to make a reliable estimation of well-planned project. However it is extremely difficult to plan the project more than one step ahead of what is already done... This is why agile development is so popular. In general

How about you incorporate "flag as irrelevant" button next to each result? Or some way of users reporting back to you the order they would expect from your SE? I am not sure how you could combat misuse, but I'm sure there cou

Note that even Firefor has at least one kind of phone home "feature" enabled by default - malware protection. It keeps asking Google if the sites you are visiting are OK, thus sending the list of visited sites to Google. I know th

Performance side effects should be negligible, but there are some privacy concerns (your browser is asking Google for each page it visits if it is ok - thus telling G where you surf).

Your stored procedures are "M" (Model) in MVC. It is a good abstraction, however I see no advantage (security-wise) in keeping this layer in DB stored procedures. It could just as well reside in some application layer.

I respectfully disagree. There is nothing wrong with rewarding the child for his/her accomplishment, quite the contrary. I would also argue that it is especially important to show your love through the praise - verbal or not. If you tr
