May 2018 1HaskellADay Problems and Solutions

• May 31st, 2018: In Thursday's #haskell problem we are analyzing JSON so we can produce ... MORE JSON! And thus grows our Big Data. Thursday's #haskell solution shows us the results of Big Data analytics? More Big Data. YES! 
• May 30th, 2018: Wednesday's #haskell problem we process 'big-ish' data. Wednesday's #haskell solution: You take your big(-ish) data, and you chart it. THIS WE CALL DATA SCIENCE! 
  
• May 25th, 2018: Friday's #haskell problem is load testing a web application with a database pull. Friday's #haskell solution: a load-tester in Haskell! AHA! 😎

Friday's #haskell solution has got me singing "Havana-na-na-na!" ... no, wait: I meant: "uploading tags from a REST endpoint to a PostgreSQL database." That's what I meant. 
• May 17th, 2018: Thursday's #haskell exercise is to add database update functionality to existing code and in a Writer/IO monad; yikes! Thursday's #haskell solution: from the triaged articles, the update SQL statements naturally fall out.

• May 8th, 2018: Tuesday's #haskell problem uses articles fetched from a REST endpoint and article metadata to triage articles for daily upload to a PostgreSQL database. Tuesday's #haskell solution... triage: get!

April 2018 1HaskellADay Problems and Solutions

• April 25th, 2018: For Wednesday's #haskell problem we prove, definitively, @fermatslibrary n^5 is n ... for very small n. For Wednesday's #haskell solution we learn that number theory is so cool!

• April 17th, 2018: For Tuesday's #haskell problem we upload articles from a different publisher of a compressed JSON archive with a different format. We find adding a differently-structured set of articles to IxArt store is simple for Tuesday's #haskell solution. 
• April 16th, 2018: For Monday's #haskell problem, we take articles-as-json from various sources and put them into a common SQL data store. For Monday's #haskell solution we upload articles from different publications to a common SQL data store, both compressed and uncompressed archives.

• April 6th, 2018: Friday's #haskell problem is to parse categories-as-JSON, strip it down to its essentials, and store in a PostgreSQL data table. Friday's #haskell solution uploaded categories to a PostgreSQL databse after 'removing the stupid.' That's a technical term. 
  
  
• April 5th, 2018: Thursday's #haskell problem is revising the database connector now that we're managing multiple databasen. Thursday #haskell solution is making connections to SQL databases configurable. Whoa. Edgy, tweeps! I'm really pressing the bleeding edge of technological advancement here with configurations and database connections. 
• April 4th, 2018: Wednesday's #haskell problem is storing authors in a PostgreSQL table. Wednesday's #haskell solution shows that transferring authors from articles to a SQL database is as easy as 1, 2, 3! 
  
  
• April 3rd, 2018: Tuesday's #haskell exercise: AUTHOR! AUTHOR! Is there an author in the house? Tuesday's #haskell solution: extracting author information from very unstructured data. 
• April 2nd, 2018: Monday's #haskell problem is to explore JSON to find the structure in the data. Monday's #haskell solution: oooh! Pritteh JSON! But what's this weirdness with the author-identifier? 
  

February 2018 1 Liner 1HaskellADay Problems and Solutions

• February 8th, 2018: We have maybe :: b -> (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> b. But we don't have list? Or do we? Define list:

  Maybe a = Nothing | Just a

  MonadPlus m => mzero | m a `mplus` m a
  
  Is there some generalization that maybe and list are functions of? What is that generalization?
