In this blog post, Max explains how spatial joins evolved in DuckDB and how the current operator harnesses R-Trees.

I've missed Planet Geospatial. I've missed it so much that I messaged James the other day and said we should get it going again.

Hello #GISChat. I'm giving a presentation to the Illinois Surveyor community in Feb. My intention is to show how many disciplines that GIS covers outside Parcels & Lot Lines. It would be great if you could take this short questionnaire and pass it along to your own GIS network. arcg.is/1fDb0K
