What are the most exciting trends you’re seeing in spatial data science lately?
Some of mine:

- New file formats (e.g. #GeoParquet)
- Geospatial DBs (e.g. #DuckDB + spatial)
- Global discrete grids

What would you add?

@catsalad @cR0w @iagox86 came for details on DuckDB bugs, stayed for the ghost tag talk.

(I use #DuckDB routinely these days but only locally and with more-or-less trusted inputs, so I'm not personally familiar with the attack surface or what attackers would find valuable about this.)

Confirmed a couple of talks. I ( @nicd ) will be talking about #Gleam and #Lustre while Onni will have a presentation about using #DuckDB with #Elixir.

Now that I am super internally torn on the #rstats versus #Python debate for a data science intro class we are developing, I am considering just going nuclear and teaching it all in #duckdb 🦆 😅.

I mean only half-way joking, for a lot of stuff I think you could get very far, although I have not tried duckplot yet 😉. Plus imagine how easy the setup for the class would be, "just download that binary".

what are some _disadvantages_ of #DuckDB compared to #SQLite?

Is anyone using duckdb with elixir/Phoenix? what are you using it for?
