It’s not much, but I at least appreciate your opinion :) Your SciPy keynote last year was great.

My @cloudnativegeo.org talk, "Right-sizing STAC", is up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd5E...
I explore of stac-geoparquet, searching it both through a server and directly from the client.

There were layoffs at MS yesterday and 3 #Python core devs from the Faster CPython team were caught in them. If you know of any jobs, please send them their way:

Cloud-Native Geospatial isn't just for data, it's for metadata too
Thanks, are there any algorithms in particular?
In github.com/OSGeo/gdal/p... big chunks of OpenCL were deemed not worth the maintenance effort. I’m hopeful there’s a smaller core that is worth it.
Freshly back from the Cloud Native Geo conference, tomaugspurger.net/posts/cng-fo... has a recap of my talk.
Reach out to me if you have geospatial workloads you want to GPU accelerate!
The first Cloud-Native Geospatial Conference is happening in three weeks! I'll be giving the opening keynote, and I'm working to make it one of my best talks ever. The agenda (2025-ut.cloudnativegeo.org#agenda) is incredible, but there's also going to be lots of space between the talks...
📣 Tomorrow's Pangeo showcase presentation will be at an earlier than usual time! Join us on April 9 at 12 PM ET to learn about scaling Dask Array up for terabyte-level performance! Hope to see y'all there 🚀 discourse.pangeo.io/t/pangeo-sho...
I share @rabernat.bsky.social excitement about icechunk!!! On top of delivering 100x performance, it can make impossible tasks possible.
Why am I so excited to endorse #icechunk and #virtualizarr?

Congrats, and thanks for all your work on this!
I'll be at the Cloud Native Geospatial Conference (2025-ut.cloudnativegeo.org), talking about using GPUs for geospatial workloads.
Let me know if you have any experience or interest in this and would like to chat.
I blogged about me blogging about High Performance Remote IO on the nvidia blog:
- direct link: developer.nvidia.com/blog/high-pe...
- extra commentary: tomaugspurger.net/posts/high-p...
Doing it from the DB is going to be fastest, but if the API does anything to the STAC items on the way out, you either lose that or have to replicate it. But I’m guessing the PC was an outlier there, with how much we added at the API layer
Join us tomorrow, February 5, at 12 PM EST for @gadom.ski's Pangeo showcase on high-performance Python STAC tooling, backed by Rust! 🎉🐍🦀 discourse.pangeo.io/t/pangeo-sho...
Thanks! It feels a bit Sisyphean given everything else going on, but oh well.
You subscribe to the Economist right? I’m trying to figure out a way to stay on top of things without getting overwhelmed daily.
Spatial indexes, and RTrees specifically, are at the core of geospatial software.
But ever wondered how an RTree is actually implemented?
In this post we’ll dive into the implementation of Flatbush, an elegant, blazing-fast, memory-efficient RTree.
