Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 25/09/2026Uh huh. Do you have a public facing URL? Saying it works and seeing it work are 2 different things. 000
Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 25/09/2026You're looking for FlatGeoBuf format for network performance, certainly not arrow. Was your test done on a local network or over the internet? Do you have a public facing URL? I've seen this post several times before with people making the same claim. It flat out doesn't work, WebGL, WASM, etc. 121
Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 25/09/2026Why would you put 3.2M points on anything? How is that useful? At best, a few hundred points at any given zoom level will suffice and not obscure or overwhelm. 220

Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 15/07/2026PREDICTOR=2 for Integer types PREDICTOR=3 for float types Depending on how homogeneous your data is will dictate the efficiency, ie, great for elevation, TPI, temp, rh, etc data. Data that is virtually random, not so much. 040
Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 14/07/2026What are the link(s) to the data? Maybe the #GIS community can help you out. 000
Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 14/07/2026This is exactly how it should be done, with cloud native data vector formats (rasters, too), but will never be. Why? There's no money to be made. Cloud providers profit from services, not optimized data formats on cheap storage. Proprietary software can't bundle their value added crap around it. 020

Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 31/05/2026More evidence against El Nino hype. Looking at the last 22 years, there's no evidence strong/moderate El Nino contributes to wetter weather.

Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 29/04/2026You're right. Where did I get 20% from? Yikes. The stat that I just can't wrap my head around is, "...6.9% of individuals who died by suicide were Black, 8.0% Hispanic, and 85.0% White." "38,417 female victims", no pregnant people in this survey. ;) 000
Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 29/04/2026Here's the study from the National Institute of Health for full context. It paints a far different picture than what the 'click bait' post. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36075083/ Regardless, it's a tragic set of stats no matter how look at it. 200

Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 29/04/2026Did anyone read the study? 70% of pregnancy deaths were suicide, 30% homicide. 20% were known to be pregnant. Mental illness and drug abuse being dominant reasons. These were primarily women who were unhinged. 000

Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 26/04/2026Also, you'll need GDAL 3.13 to run those commands. 000
Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 26/04/2026Looking at the GDAL parquet format docs, it looks like parquet version 1.1, since GDAL v3.9. So, yeah, if you need the latest 2.0, you'll have to jump through some hoops. The reduced overhead of using just GDAL as a one-liner, without any overhead, it quite compelling. I'd be curious to see tests. 000

It gives me immense pleasure watching you terrorist supporting worms squirm. 000
Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 26/04/2026It's highly dependent on the Apache Arrow version your GDAL is built against, so the version can vary wildly. In this case I'm using libarrow2200, the latest being libarrow2300. 100

Postholer - Hiking & GIS @postholer.com · 13/12/2025What others have said. This is a city planning issue and a long-standing pursuit of property taxes. These lands need to be vacated and were *never* suited to development. Throwing more money at denial is not even remotely the answer. 000
