@MapMakinMeyers Curiosity*

@MapMakinMeyers Ask them if you get a discount if you want it in parquet format … 😂

[VonCannonTech @VonCannonTech]

@MapMakinMeyers They’re making bank. Especially since the parcel data changes so all the down stream consumers need the latest and greatest. Out of cursory, for that county, with that one time fee… do they provide updates within a certain timeframe? Or do you have to pay the fee again?

@youwillmakemaps Awesome! You can also tile USGS topo maps yourself in a 300GB pmtiles file for a complete mosaic https://t.co/J5vPc9e5KL

[U.S. Department of the Interior @Interior]

For outdoor enthusiasts, a good map is more than just a tool. It's the start of an adventure. The @USGS has released a new series of topographic maps designed with outdoor lovers in mind.

They're easier to use and perfect for planning your next trip. https://t.co/m2pmzuoUl4

[DuckDB @duckdb]

We just published a deep dive on spatial joins in DuckDB by @Maxxen_.

In this blog post, Max explains how spatial joins evolved in DuckDB and how the current operator harnesses R-Trees.

Super excited about #DuckLake https://t.co/4B8cEG8ktb

[DuckDB @duckdb]

Today we're launching DuckLake, an integrated data lake and catalog format powered by SQL. DuckLake unlocks next-generation data warehousing where compute is local, consistency central, and storage scales till infinity. ⁠DuckLake is an open standard and we've implemented it in the "ducklake" DuckDB extension.

@dataenggdude @YouTube Awesome video... this is exactly how I am building low cost and quick geospatial pipelines: lambda + step functions + duckdb + gdal + pmtiles

So neat… Smoky Mountains Hiking Club 2005 handbook #gsmnp

Lots of fun: GIS data engineering pipelines: aws step functions, duckdb, tippecanoe, protomaps, geoparquet #duckdb #aws #topolockmaps #protomaps #geoparquet #tippecanoe

Happy 20th Birthday OpenStreetMap!

"OpenStreetMap has grown exponentially or quadratically over the last twenty years depending on the metric you’re interested in . . . The story isn’t so much about the data and technology, and it never was. It’s the people. " --@stevec, reflecting on 20 years of OSM
