Pitch perfect.

At the SQL level, the ST_AsGeoJSON(record) variant will convert a tuple that includes a geometry and any combination of other columns into a GeoJSON output.

MobilityDB might also be of interest, for people handling trajectories.

GeoJSON is not TopoJSON. Saying that is "falling down" is like criticizing a zebra for not being a giraffe. GeoJSON is a mapping of the (non-topological) "simple features" model in…

Such a wonderful meditation on career and meaning and fellowship and purpose. I loved it.

I feel this howl. I found that sales work was forming relationships so that you could make promises, personal promises. And what drove me out of it was that, beyond a certain point…

Same. Changing out VXC for VIU.

In 1984 the idea was there were not enough people to listen to everyone, all the time, but the mere possibility was enough. Of course, for us with AI, things are considerable worse…

For any book popular enough to have be put into GPT training data, you can get a summary without uploading it. The idea that these big, corporate models (their "intellectual proper…

Testing and development by an actual operational airline, but running into regulation and certification issues. Could be a while even for this relatively narrow use case of seaplan…

Crisis! Head to the conference room!

Yep, good read and wonderful on the vicious cycle that led to the downtowns of most US cities looking like WWII bombed out zones by 1975.

The decision is really surprisingly multi-dimensional and, no, most people don't even scratch the surface of it. I thought this calculator was brilliant a decade ago, and my opinio…

Yes, all the data in the story contradicts the frame. Journalistic malpractice.
