Window functions in #PostgreSQL are one of those things that once you get them, they're amazing! For various types of analysis they're such a handy tool to have in your toolbox. This post by Elizabeth Garrett Christensen is such a solid walkthrough. x.com/planetpostgres…

A collaborative approach is central to how we get things done at Earth Genome & it's a joy to work alongside partners like developmentseed. Here's a preview of the Global Food Twin project & the step-by-step design approach before the official launch: developmentseed.org/blog/2024-09-1…

We teamed up with Earth Genome and Better Planet Lab (@ZiaMehrabi) to tackle a complex problem: visualizing the global food system. Our design sprint process gave us new ways to think about data modeling and collaboration. Learn more in our blog: ds.io/visualizingfood

Recent Postgres releases there is often "better performance", but it's easy to get numb to this. But the real world numbers on this improvement in PG17 are pretty amazing. Awesome work on the feature Peter Geoghegan and Brandur on the benchmarking. x.com/brandur/status…
