> not a problem of the paradigm

Correct. The main problem I see with OOP is that some people advocate it as the only correct way to write maintainable code, which, of course is completely wrong. In fact, OOP doesn't translate well to some problems. There are also problems where FP doesn't work as nicely as other paradigms. In short, there is no silver bullet and advocates of any paradigm should be more open about that.
Elasticsearch or Solr would be better than Mongodb for Logs.

Hell if you actually care about your log and want to search it use Solr or Elasticsearch NOT Mongodb.

If you want to store even more data just use Cassandra and index it with Solr or Elasticsearch.

Cassandra have faster write than read, it's perfect for logs.

You can decentralize logging system too, there are architecture layout out there with elasticsearch and such (example: https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/e855bc08975d).

MongoDB is a poor choice, in general for anything in my personal opinion.
I already noticed Chocolatey a couple of times.

I'm just wondering if Chocolatey could be used to install Rails?

As rails is really difficult in Windows 8 x64 (sqllite.dll) and in Windows 7 it's a lot easier.

Because for Windows, it's an utterly complex installation, i'm wondering if you "could" get it to work on Chocolatey.

For what's it's used now, nice project though! Should be getting more hits!
This is a pure political gimmick to project their country as one of the safest/crime-free countries. As many have said here, Police is run by the Government and they have the right to manipulate the data.

As a general statistic, if you google it, you'll know the crime rate has been increasing in the last few years. They either fell into dumb ears or they make up by letting the criminals out.

What's the point?

Unfortunately this is a problem in many EU countries. Most of the job descriptions require perfect English + the local language (whatever that is). In the worst case the local language is not mentioned, but then they fire your CV too fast not to suspect language had something to do with it.

It's a real hassle, especially when you don't become "loyal" to any EU country in particular, thus it makes no sense to learn its local language as there are way too many languages around, me the last 4 years: I lived in Denmark (Danish), Germany (German), now I live in Belgium (Dutch AND French).

The whole situation creates "sticky" jobs, where people end up stuck in 1 country, sometimes a very small country, and they can't really embrace the full power of a unionized economic area. I mean, only for this US is so much better than EU, 300ML people all speaking the same language...

This is not how a democratic nation is supposed to work. So please don't hold up this characterization of the police as something which is inevitable. The democratic ideal is that the police have a national monopoly on the legal use of violence, and the use of this violence is dictated by the laws and the courts. This is how well-working democratic nations work, and it is indeed how the police force in my home country works.

That anything else can be said about the USA today (maybe also the UK?), is just a testament to the scale of the democratic problems you guys have. You are really deep into it, and it doesn't seem like you realize the extent of the problem.

It's not really a zero sum game because marketing costs money. If you can figure out how to do marketing for less money per new customer than the other guy then you have freed up money that would otherwise have been spent on marketing... Or, if that money wasn't currently being spent on marketing then the value of that product was not being passed on to the market and you are unlocking that unrealised value. Either way, innovating around marketing is quite valid.

Maybe because it's a new technology and we are just learning about it? Who told them to jump in anyway? Didn't they know hackers existed?

This is actually a very good idea in general. If the programmer left because of some sort of perceived problem, and the company doesn't see the perceived problem as actually being an issue, then they're unlikely to change their mind when you join. If the programmer left over something that's also going to upset you, and the company doesn't agree that they need change, then it's a bad idea to join.

Alternatively, if the company also perceived the problem as an issue that needed solving, but were -- for whatever reason -- incapable of doing so, then they might be worth a shot. Just don't join and then expect them to change the way they do business in order to suit your needs.
In a functioning democracy, politics (i.e., the will of the people) should dictate the priorities for the police.

The corruption of said politics however is a different matter.

Miley Cyrus: A startup inspiration on growth hacking
Well, the only crime that has a really uncontroversial definition would be criminal homicide (certainly a small number could be misattributed to suicide, but still - a dead person is a dead person, no "made up" charges, no non-filed charges). So... according to BRÅ (Crime-prevention council, the government agency in charge of crime-related statistics in Sweden, the following can be said about homicide in Sweden:

- The number of homicides (all kinds) in Sweden 2012 was 68. That is an all time low.
- The average over the past 20 years is around 95 homicides per year (and declining)
- Adding to that is that the Swedish population has risen with 10.5% the last 20 years (8.7M to 9.6M), meaning the per-capita crime rate has dropped even more
- Especially noteworthy is the drop in homicides of children under 15

I would not say theft has an uncontroversial definition, at least not nearly as uncontroversial as homicide...

What sort of debt is that? It's well and good if it is something which has been approved by the lawmakers, courts and population, but I am skeptical of making offenders pay very large fines. In effect, it turns into a (potentially lifelong) punishment.

See e.g. the piratebay founders, none of which will ever be able to own property or any assets at all, seeing as even the interest payments on the damages they owe are more than the average salary. Sentencing someone to lifelong economic slavery is not a good thing in my book. It is a very, very harsh punishment. In effect, the piratebay founders have been sentenced to exile.
Allow me to be blunt:

Who the hell cares how safe you FEEL?

That's just a reflection of how much the media has coloured your view on how much crime is prevalent. Says next to nothing about how safe you actually are, which is the only important statistic.
Our team visited Pablo back in 2010 when he was just working with some remote developers and was based in Barcelona himself. He was already talking about thinking bigger and had some good strategies in mind. It's awesome to see it played out well.

The two only reasons why a company would want to provide source code under MIT/BSD, but not under GPLv3 would be because of the patent grant, or because Apple want to partially maintain proprietary parts for themselves.

I.e either Apple want to sue people for using software technology which Apple themselves would distribute freely under an MIT/BSD license.

Or they do not want support open source projects with all the code related to those projects. I think this is the more likely culprit, which is in line with pornel comments that Apple probably didn't like having risk of share-alike apply to their proprietary data.

(Of course, if you are talking about distributing MIT/BSD software binaries vs GPLv3, all the other parts of GPLv3 need to be considered. This post only address the willingness to support open source projects with source code.)

If you're saying VCs won't fund semiconductor companies today, you're wrong, they will and they do. VCs aren't as clueless as HN comments make them out to be. They still make risky investments, not because they like risk but because those are the investments that typically give them good odds on the type of returns they seek.

Less technical, consumer-focused startups from Stanford tend to get more press. But there are a lot of successful, high-tech startups from Stanford (often founded by engineering PhDs and professors) that you will never read about on TechCrunch, HN or any of the mainstream "tech news" sites.
I will go further on to say. The biggest problem is the perception that a particular tool will make up for bad practices, general indiscipline and many other small time problems.

The statistics on this are fairly clear, but not very well published. It would certainly be possible to dig them up, but a comprehensive review would require a bit of work. You could find this in the official statistics, but newspaper folks are reluctant to compile them and put them on the front page.

> What's the secure password reset feature that Troy alludes to?

I've seen a few concepts. One I liked was the selection of two or three images from a gallery. If the user correctly identified the ones he had selected at sign-up then a new password was sent to the registered e-mail address.

But any password reset process should ensure that it never links back to the original password. Reset, not recover.

It might be a problem to keep your best developers working in Barcelona on Spanish level salaries if they are good, young and fluent in English. It's not just the absolute salary numbers: the relative purchasing power of even decent Spanish salaries is pitiful.

> This bet was attacked by feminists (rightly? or too sensitive?)

Everything you do gets attacked by someone. If you ate meat for dinner; if you drove a car; if you use Microsoft Windows; if you didn't pray to Zeus, you offended someone's sensitivities. So if feminists attacked this bet, just ignore them.
I think the characterization is a cheap jab. I worked at a Stanford startup (founder was a PhD at Stanford), and we were overrun with PhDs and worked on a DARPA contract instead of taking VC.

Stanford does pure tech too. Look up SRI.
Two reasons:

1. Battery leakage. You can't charge a battery and leave it somewhere disconnected and expect to come back to a full charge. Small amounts of power leak all the time. Look for "self discharge". There are lines of batteries (particularly Sanyo Enelopp) that are marketed as low self discharge i.e. they can be stored charged and will still be usable in time. There is still a high resistance when something is connected which is enough to help with self discharge.

2. Most phones have a non mechanical on/off switch so a tiny bit of current is still used to have soft on/off functionality and watchdog circuitry online.

I would think that Troy alludes to his very extensive piece detailing how and how not to do password resets.

http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/05/everything-you-ever-wanted-t...

I think the point about password hints is that, like secret questions, they typically reduce the security of the account when used by actual users. Alternative approaches protect users from themselves.

Interesting; I would say in Denmark it's no longer that common for large businesses to care about Danish language skills for non-service-sector jobs. Maersk, one of the largest employers, has even standardized on English as the official internal corporate language, meaning all meetings and documents should be in English. It makes some sense for them even beyond hiring, because they're a global logistics firm, so having documents in a language they can easily send around the world is more convenient than having documents in Danish. Tech companies generally use English as well, and most of them have at least some non-Danish staff. Even if none of them are actually native English speakers, English is the lingua franca when a Danish company hires a German or a Spanish programmer.

If Sweden's business sector is less English-friendly in hiring, I wonder what accounts for the differences. It's a somewhat larger country, but not that much larger.

It all comes down to people being severely misinformed and misled by supposed experts. You are probably referring to the fiasco with the open source Facebook competitor Diaspora and how they moved from MongoDB to MySQL because Mongo apparently wasn't up to the task.

It's not the fault of any NoSQL database if someone makes the poor decision to solely rely on relatively new and untested databases like MongoDB or Couch. People are using the likes of MongoDB not because they've identified a technical need, but because it's cool and hip and people want to ride the hype train with everyone else.

The hatred is more directed at the misuse of embedded documents as opposed to separate ones and people trying to make MongoDB work exactly like MySQL when it's completely different. Give it time and you'll see articles from people proclaiming it's the greatest thing to ever happen to databases and evident by the funding and money 10Gen have coming in, they must be doing something right.

>The rise has stalled and the trend has been reversing with a slight decline of 1% in 2012 [1].

From your source: "Since 2003, the number of reported offences has increased by approximately 147,000 (+12%). Since 1975, the trend in the total number of reported offences has been characterised by a continuous increase."

That a 1% decrease in the statistics of a single year represent any significant change in the trend since 1975 remains to be seen. I'm very skeptical but I will be very happy if it turns out to be true.
