What Hacker News says?

  1. Riak 2.x uses Solr to index values from K/V with AAE. If you're interested in how using it looks, I wrote a post using geospatial data here[1]. [1]: http://www.christopherbiscardi.com/2014/02/07/geospatial-ind...

  5. I've recently (this year) taken to writing more blog posts[1]. It helps me make sure that what I'm writing will be readable by me X years from now and also could help other people.

  7. Try using the Scotty inspired Spock[0] with Spock-auth[1] or consider using Snap[2] or Yesod[3]. Here is a Yesod example[4] that uses Auth. Here is a Snap example[5] that uses Auth. > No Node.js tutorial would finish without a working session manager. Yeah, many Haskell library/framework writers tend to see end to end tutorials as hand holding or see something as Auth as so simple it needs no explanation. It was a r…

  9. Interesting! The quote "sometimes, nom can be almost as fast as regex" has been removed from the Nom docs, so it's probably become faster since 2018 when that Cloudcity article was written. In fact, Nom now claims to "outperform many parser combinators library like Parsec and attoparsec, some regular expression engines and even handwritten C parsers" [1]. Someone used Nom for Advent of Code last year and found "The…
