Just realised that http://download.redis.io/ is not available under https (neither is http://redis.io).
It may be worth downloading it from github.

Geo is insanely useful when you're after stuff within x miles of a known location - so a lot of mobile apps. My problem with many existing geo implementations is they assume that a circular radius is the query type I care about, and longitude and latitude is sufficient to know where I actually am in terms of jurisdiction, etc. Being able to add fine grained polygons to represent national, state, county or town bounda…
Hey Paul, we have this feature added as a Lua script, but adding it in a native way could be interesting actually. Itamar Haber wrote the Lua script and was pushing for adding it in a native way, I wanted to check after the release the actual demand for it.
I personally don't have a use right now, but that sounds incredibly useful!

#13I like their new GEO sorted set with latitude and longitude. Can someone point me to a [reasonably priced] geocoding database to display nearest Town, Region (only where appropriate), Country (in English) based on latitude and longitude?

I've used GeoNames (geonames.org) for a few projects.
I was turned off by their blurp that their US zip codes database contains only 21k zips out of 41.5k. Are they sufficiently complete for small towns?
The incomplete zips (for at least one database I've read about) come from corporate or industrial areas where not many people actually live.

I'm using it for a photo app (I only need town/city level granularity), and it works well for my needs. Note that the dataset is based upon populated places though, so YMMV if you need to lookup somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Here is a JavaScript library I wrote for it, along with some scripts for munging the GeoNames dataset:

If you need higher granularity, take a look at this OSM project:

#16Redis is in a very small category of software that's been pleasant to work with from day one and continues to be on a daily basis.
Kudos to antirez on everything before this and another great release.

Or you could download from redis.io and check the hashes we publish at Github: https://github.com/antirez/redis-hashes

In fact it's quite possibly the only piece of software that HN hasn't bashed or harshly criticized so far :)

What do you use it for?

#20does anyone know how quickly the official docker containers will be out? https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/ Could build it myself but if the official image will be out in a day or so id rather wait I think.
I just submitted a pull request: https://github.com/docker-library/redis/pull/57
