MongoDB is not significantly better at any particular thing so yes, Redis can be used as an alternative for the things I may use MongoDB for. Keep a close eye on http://www.amisalabs.com

That's your view and maybe a few others and everybody is entitled to their own view(s).

Sometimes, free can be very expensive.

Please stop posting these. Nothing new in the post. Yes, MongoDB is overrated. Documents store should be capable of doing a whole lot more than MongoDB offers. Sign up to be notified when Amisa server becomes generally available. http://www.amisalabs.com/ Thanks in advance for your interest.

webtrill | 12 years ago | on: RethinkDB 1.11 is out: query profiler, new streaming algorithm, devops features

This will probably not be a MongoDB killer. Check out http://www.amisalabs.com. That will have more potential but also probably won't be a Mongodb killer.

webtrill | 13 years ago | on: Ask PG, HN: Is someone tampering with article positions?

I believe someone is tampering with the position of links submitted. I say so because last week or so, I submitted our startup to HN which was on the first page for most of the day and receiving some positive comments/feedback. At some point in the day, we were no where to be found (unless I utilized the search functionality), only to appear again on the first page after a while. Later on in the evening, it dissapeared again.

We'll be adding the trim levels in the near future. We agree it can be very useful when buying a car. Thanks

Everything is proprietary!! that is our big advantage.

Data store code name "Saycron" sits on the Demanjo's Distributed file system.

Indexing -- > uses a data structure i call "Octo-tree" Outperforms any multidimensional index i came across in any academic papers.

Web server -- > Code name "SlimAPE". simple non blocking.

Web framework -- > Code name "HerikX".

I will write about all of these technologies later on my blog whenever i get to setting up one.

Noticed, deploying a fix.

Thanks!

True, will have to change this.

Your IP address resolves to Canada.

You can only search for cars in your country.

Will have to change this if required at some point

Hi, can your provide more details into this error? What location are you in?

Works perfectly for me from my location.

Will be very helpful.

Noticed!! some dealerships are operating under several distinct domain names which create these duplicates. We are currently working on a solution for this.

Our crawler is currently in motion and i see about 239 cars in SF.

We are solely focusing on dealership websites.

Thanks.

Will incorporate.

Cheers!

Thanks!!

Will deploy multiple selections of filters by weeks end.

Changing sites is not a problem as the algorithms are generic to target any website!! We do not develop algorithms for each provider out there, that will not be feasible and quiet frankly a waste of time on our part.

For geolocation searches, we auto detect a users location. I cannot guarantee the accuracy of a users location as the geo data source is a free version. You can however easily select the miles to increase the radius of your search.

I understand what you mean. but we have actually tested the site several times before posting it on HN. We are working hard at this and will be back shortly. Thanks.
