Thanks for pointing this out. I would indeed be looking for a replacement for SQLAlchemy Core, since I usually avoid ORMs. Esqueleto looks like it would fit the bill, since it does offer composability of queries, automated migrations, and p

I like the idea behind it, but it does indeed seem a little unfinished. Esp. the metric for top packages (most dependencies from other packages in this category) seems flawed, since some other apparently popular libraries mentioned in this

Is there something like a "standard" HTTP client library and also a SQL abstraction library in Haskell nowadays, that everyone is using? Similar to what 'requests' and 'SQLAlchemy' are in Python? I feel those w

This looks like a good solution for scrapers where "close enough" is good enough. If you need 100% accuracy you can always fall back to using scrapy directly and make your scraping logic as accurate as you need. But in many cases

Not sure what "stab" you are referring to here? Seems like a fair remark to me.

TLDR: Use a VPN + Incognito mode + fake email and info The VPN hides your IP. Incognito mode prevents your cookies from giving away your identity. And the fake info helps with things like sites being hacked and the data being dumped online.

AFAIK GPUs only excel at data-parallel tasks (i.e. doing the exact same operation to thousands of data points in parallel, like in a matrix multiplication e.g.). So I wonder how they utilize this for ad hoc SQL queries? Anybody have any poi

Are there any limitations you have run into? E.g. can you still use all index types that Postgres offers or are there any special distributed index types that CitusDB adds perhaps?

This is fantastic news! Postgres does not have a terribly strong High Availability story so far and of course it also does not scale out vertically. I have looked at CitusDB in the past, but was always put off by its closed-source nature. O

You can temporarily turn off all syntax-highlighting and line wrapping in vim by opening a file like this: vim -u NONE big_file.txt This works very well for very large files.

Ah, thanks for the clarification! So just for my understanding: the interop with the JVM works via JNI then? The native code makes calls against the JNI and the Java bytecode calls back into the Haskell native code using the static pointers

by rkrzr 11y ago
This is a very interesting use case of the new static pointer feature in GHC: They first generate JVM bytecode from the Haskell source using their own code generator. This code is then shipped to the Spark cluster which executes the bytecod

IMO the biggest reason to use Python3 is its concurrency support via async + await. Fixing the unicode mess is nice too of course, but you can get most of the benefits in Python2 as well, by simply putting this at the top of all of your sou

The main reason for most bigger projects is that they rely on that one library that is not compatible with Python3. Although there are fewer and fewer of those fortunately. Another reason is that the advantage of switching is just not tha

This looks very cool. Does anybody have any experience using Typed Actors? Or with Akka Typed?
