If you can modify the existing system, database table for example, then you can easily add the column for this. Otherwise we have no idea, since you don't share the details about the system.

I like to modify / patch open source code.
I used to patch binary code by inserting calls to patch, but that was eons ago.
Could I get some advise on how to learn patching in higher level language - C++ preferred.
I hope it can be done without major recompile of the source code, likes using "service packs" or configuration files?
Thanks four your time

Most unlikely unless the code has been designed with that in mind. The best you could do is to replace certain object modules, but even that is fraught with problems. And since open source is, by definition, source code, what purpose would be served by trying to patch in some other way?

anyone can explain with easy example that what is agile and what is scrum?
how they different from each other?

Scrum is a form of Agile. Agile means just that, it's a methodology designed to allow developers and teams to react quickly to changes by the customer. Scrum is an Agile methodology that has some of its own specifics.
I would recommend googling it and then if you still have questions, come back here and ask something more specific because it's hard to give a detailed answer here.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

In simple terms, Agile is a SDLC methodology for Project Handling.
Let's assume you have a Project to be managed. You now split the requirements into User stories. Now Sprints(each 2 weeks Time Frame) are created based on the total time frame. Based on priority, stories will be aligned to each sprint(2 weeks/sprint).
Every sprint needs all team(DEV,BUSINESS,QA,PERFORMANCE etc.) in collaboration to discuss the status of ongoing stories. For this purpose, we have Scrum calls(Daily or Alternate days) that are managed by Scrum master. SCRUM Master will drive scrum meetings and takes story wise status from DEV,QA and asks for any impediments, risks if any and creates a platform(meeting) to sort them. This will lead to a progressive Scrum delivery to be delivered after Sprint end date.
After Sprint ends, in Sprint Retro meeting Scrum master takes all the unfinished items and punches them to next sprint also plan next sprint stories in Sprint Planning session.

The answer is simple. Just do it.
So, where are you stuck?

Hi,
I have a Oracle DB in which all the information is stored and this information is been consumed by different teams and below is the two options i have to decide on :
1. Write a Stored procedure and give the stored procedure to the respective teams and they can call the stored procedure.
2. Write a stored procedure wrap it as an API and expose the API, different team will call the API exposed and API will in turn hit the SP and return the response to the team.
Like to know what is the PRON and CRONS with these options and what is the best possible solution to go with.
Thanks

That ultimately depends on the stored proc but for the vast majority of cases you expose it in the same way everything else has been exposed.
So if the "teams" are accessing the rest of the database via wrapped SQL then they the will to the proc the same way.
If there is an existing "API" (like a Rest container) then it should be added to that.
That is the "best" way because it doesn't require the users to learn a new idiom for access. And if there is not existing API server then getting that up an running would require quite a bit of work both in implementation, installation and usage.

Hi,
This question started in 'The Lounge', and I continue Here.
The Problem is Simpler than de Lorry Loading Problem.
I have to print a Number of Orders on an A4 Page, in Fixed Pitch Font. Each order has a Variable Numbers of Lines,
I want to minimise the Nr of Print Pages.
Apart from Neural Networks, is there a simpler way of optimizing this.
Regards,

I'm in the early development (and design) phase of my first big project. Part of this project is planned to utilize the Google Maps API in at least some capacity to at the very least map out business locations. Their API also allows us to pull business "white page" info from Google Places as well which I could use and frankly, had been considering doing.
My question is, when a professional developer is designing and developing a web app, are there any general guidelines when it comes to using APIs and their provided data? What I mean by this is, obviously, when my application uses an API, it has now created a dependency on the organization whose API it uses (in this case Google). Therefore, if, for some reason, Google went down (not likely) or changed their service/model (possible),got hacked/whatever else, my application could break.
On the other hand, if I make less API calls and store more data in my database, that will be more costly on my hardware to be storing redundant data that Google already has out there. Also, chances are, Google is going to have a lot more data that my application will and probably be updated more frequently.
Another consideration is the API costs... I'm not sure whether it would be cheaper to just store business data myself or constantly be sending thousands of requests to Google's servers and having to pay them.
This question is a more general architectural/design question, however I used the Google example to better explain what topics I'm trying to ask about here.
My gut feeling, without any formal education in this area, would be to have my application and database depend on external services/APIs as little as possible for data integrity reasons. However, as I said, I am really taking a shot in the dark here. Even if you don't have a concrete answer for me, could you point me to any references or books that would address my questions? Thank you.

Graceful degradation.
Functions that don't depend on the "Google API" continue.
When incorporating 3rd part API's, I access them all via my own (wrapper) DLL / Interface; e.g. USPS; UPS; FedEx .... different wrappers; same Interface.
Switched credit card / payment processors by creating a new "wrapper" DLL that had the same interface for the new vendor.
You can also create test / fallback API's in this way.
There are other Search API's out there; just a different "wrapper".

Err...speaking from actual experience google can refuse to service a request. And of course there can be other communication failures as well. So your calls to google must provide a way to track problems. I suggest logging.
Any time you make a call from one box to another, even if your own box, you need to
1. Expect errors
2. Track errors and as much information as provided about the error.
3. Provide enough information about what you were doing so you can start to determine why it failed.
Also it can also help to log even successes. The fact that the call returned with something that looks like a success doesn't actually mean it is. And such logs can help to determine that the call was made in the first place (no point in blaming google if the call never went to google.)
TheOnlyRealTodd wrote: and store more data in my database, that will be more costly on my hardware to be storing redundant data
Because it will represent terabytes of data? Have you sized your business needs?
Not saying you should do that by the way but when making decisions about performance issues one must have a starting point that is reasonable and realistic based on business (not development) needs.
TheOnlyRealTodd wrote: or constantly be sending thousands of requests to Google's servers and having to pay them.
If one user request generates thousands of calls to google then your are going to have a performance problem which is more important. So again sizing might be relevant.

Basically someone posted a comment with coding and it causes whoever opens the video link gets redirected to another website (spam) seconds after opening it.
I am unable to remove this comment because it redirects too quickly and I cannot cancel out the loading in any basic ways you think of.
I was able to quickly get a snapshot of the comment responsible for this issue: Http://imgur.com/a/OK0E1
Any ideas to remove this comment by canceling or killing the redirection script or code. I was hoping someone could look at the screenshot and tell me something about that code or script this spammer posted.

Yes, there are many people who are able to remove it. But unless you give us a link to the message there is not much we can do. And why did you report this under Design and Architecture, and not Spam and Abuse Watch Discussion Boards[^]?

A quick peek at OP's imgur link says it's not on CP. So our Spam forum isn't appropriate. Probably somewhere in Web Design would be better.
Cheers,

You need to update your site's code to HTML-encode the comments. Until you do that, your site is vulnerable to persisted cross-site scripting.
Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - OWASP[^]
There are much more dangerous things a malicious user can post. For example, they could steal your cookies, and impersonate you on the site. Or they could download malware onto your users' computers, which would appear to come from your site.
Once you've fixed the vulnerability, you will be able to open the page without the script from that comment executing.
