Ein gestrandeter Wal – und plötzlich mischen Esoteriker, rechte Akteure und Verschwörungsmythen mit. Forschende werden bedroht, Politik gerät unter Druck. Katharina Nocun sagt: Dahinter steckt ein bekanntes Muster. Wie konnte die Rettung so kippen?

I recently re-checked in on a post I wrote in 2024, where I spent days trying to optimize a point-in-polygon join with ~130 million points against all U.S. zipcodes. In 2024 the best I could come up with was a few minutes. In 2026, both SedonaDB and @duckdb spatial can both do it in seconds without any extra wrangling. You can even leave the files on the web server and it's still three times faster than it was a year ago. Such an exciting time to be working in spatial! https://dewey.dunnington.ca/post/2026/wrangling-and-joining-130m-points...in-2026/
