December 2017 1HaskellADay problems and solutions

• December 29th, 2017: In Friday's #haskell problem we leave 2017 with a filter and a BANG! ... BANG! Today's #haskell solution we weave logging into the ETL article upload process. 
  
• December 28th, 2017: Thursday's #haskell problem is late AND a quicky: fetch a row of JSON from the database and pretty-print it. Thursday's #haskell solution had me leap from the bath tub and shout EUREKA! as I saw the issue in the JSON. 
• December 27th, 2017: In Wednesday's #haskell problem we learn that when you parse dates for your articles, you don't need to carbon-date it anymore. In the solution to yesterday's #haskell problem, we encounter and report some parsing issues around optionality. 
• December 26th, 2017: Tuesday's #haskell problem: scan an article archive, store an article archive; databases are neat that way. Today's #haskell solution: storing articles-as-JSON into a PostgreSQL database? No problem! 
• December 22nd, 2017: Friday's #haskell exercise we do our first bit of parsing with the help of tagsoup. Okay, this #haskell Aeson / TagSoup stuff is awesome for parsing JSON / HTML stuff. 
• December 20th, 2017: Wednesday's #haskell exercise. We take a large-ish JSON article archive, scan it, and spit out* a smaller-...ish JSON article archive. *'spit out' is a technical term. Today's #haskell solution provides a subset of the JSON article archive printed prettily.
• December 18th, 2017: Monday's #haskell problem: Friday you submitted an oembed request for goats, today you create a JSON oembed response service. Today's #haskell solution brings you a goat oembed service, serve with PHP. 
  
• December 15th, 2017: Today we build a goat oembed request. I kid you not! geddit? GEDDIT? Today's #haskell solution: OEmbed Goats requests, want? OEmbed Goats requests, GOT!  

• December 14th, 2017: Thursday's #haskell problem we sing 🎵 ... EVERYBODY'S WORKIN' FOR THE WEEKEND! 🎶 So, 18 composeable dates on the weekends. I'm freeing up my calendar, then! 
• December 13th, 2017: Wednesday's #haskell problem is a hot date! WOOT! Today's #haskell solution has 66 composable dates in 2017. Cool! 
• December 12th, 2017: Tuesday's #haskell problem is batching a SQL queryinstead of making multiple queries. It is so much faster! Today's #haskell solution has another LEFT JOIN in the SQL query to consolidate data gathering. 
• December 11th, 2017: Monday's #haskell problem is computing and storing exponential distribution values. The exponential distribution: today's #haskell solution shows it's really simple. 
  
• December 8th, 2017: For Friday's #haskell problem we parse NYT article summaries and upload them to a PostgreSQL database. Today's #haskell solution shows that our simple parsing exercise wasn't so simple. Isn't dirty data delightful? 
• December 7th, 2017: Throwing the switch with Thursday's #haskell with a hard reset of the database. For today's #haskell solution we do a hard reset: we wipe the recommendation and publish tables and repopulate. 
• December 6th, 2017: It's 'kinda' bad to return articles from a search that are already recommended. Wednesday's #haskell problem fixes this. Today's #haskell solution shows what a simple filter notMember can do. 
• December 5th, 2017: Tuesday's #haskell problem we narrow our focus and structure our keyword search-space only on keys requested in the NYT archive on PostgreSQL. With a little bit of monadic/applicative magic, we have narrowed keyword searches. 
• December 4th, 2017: For Monday's #haskell problem: "But can Haskell do anything useful?" Two words: ... yes.
• December 1st, 2017: For Friday's #haskell problem, what happens when the boss says: "That's good, but ..."? REWORK! THAT's what happens! Today's #haskell solution renders the source article in full and the recommended articles in brief. Got it!
