Don't use MongoDB

I've kept quiet for awhile for various political reasons, but I now feel a kind of social responsibility to deter people from banking their business on MongoDB.

Dear soon-to-be-former user,

We've got some fantastic news!  Well, it's great news for us anyway.  You, on 
the other hand, are fucked.

A list of every example actant mentioned in the first half of Prince of Networks by Graham Harman

"These long lists of random actors must continue until their plurality and autonomy is no longer suppressed. We still know nothing about these objects or what they entail. All that is clear is their metaphysical equality. The world is a stage filled with actors; philosophy is object-oriented philosophy." — Harman, Prince of Networks.

"[These lists are] a repeated sorcerer’s chant of the multitude of things that resist any unified empire." — Harman, Prince of Networks

Here are the areas I've been researching, some things I've read and some open source packages...

Nearly all text processing starts by transforming text into vectors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_space_model

Often it uses transforms such as TFIDF to normalise the data and control for outliers (words that are too frequent or too rare confuse the algorithms): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tf%E2%80%93idf

Collocations is a technique to detect when two or more words occur more commonly together than separately (e.g. "wishy-washy" in English) - I use this to group words into n-gram tokens because many NLP techniques consider each word as if it's independent of all the others in a document, ignoring order: http://matpalm.com/blog/2011/10/22/collocations_1/

tl;dr

If you must nest functions in a way that requires access to multiple this', alias outer this to something meaningful - describe the value it's holding. Treat this as the invisible first argument.

In general though, avoiding the situation (nested functions and frivolous use of this) will frequently produce clearer results.

Naming this in nested functions

I was accidentally included in a discussion on how to best name this in nested functions in JavaScript. +1's were given to this suggestion of using _this.

Giving style advice on naming nested this without a meaningful context isn't too helpful in my opinion. Examples below have been altered to have at least some context, although a completely contrived and stupid one.
