Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A population density map of the state of Pennsylvania
It looks like the base Kontur dataset uses H3 resolution 8, and thereβs a lookup table here. β400mβ seems to refer to the edge length (which averages to 461m).

[ANN] HexTree: geographical region-to-value mapping
I can speak to quadtrees, but the primary reason for using this is that you need a geographic "dictionary" (not using the word map to avoid confusion with charts), and you're perhaps already using the H3 hexagonal grid system.

What's everyone working on this week (34/2022)?
HexSet: is a way of storing a set of H3 cells in a tree, and doing fast (2-20 ns on my 2013 trashcan Mac Pro) membership tests. You must first convert the input data (e.g. GeoJSoN polygon) into H3 cells.

Surprising result while transpiling C to Go
> What an amazing tool that can completely change function names when it converts from C to Go.
How can one read the code of the benchmark, then switch into virulent sarcasm mode without trying to understand the code? And seeing "+1" comments without any effort to understand is also disheartening.
The blog post had a link about the Go helper functions the author used. It lands on https://github.com/akhenakh/goh3/blob/main/h3.go This shows that the `FromGeo()` function used by the Go benchmark is a helper that calls transpiled functions. The benchmark code itself was of course not transpiled, so the sarcasm was unneeded and wrong.
If anyone wants to dig in deeper, the C function `latLngToCell()` calls 2 functions, see https://github.com/uber/h3/blob/master/src/h3lib/lib/h3Index...

Anyone doing geospatial queries? NoSQL? Amazon Location Service?
Uber just released their library to perform geospatial indexing - https://h3geo.org/. This might be an useful building block for you.

Protomaps β A free and open source map of the world
(.shp .gpkg ...) | ogr2ogr -> .geojson | tippecanoe -> .pmtiles
for OpenStreetMap data there's planetiler[4], and and openmaptiles[5] styles that work with Maplibre
with those combinations you've got a great start to something you can host for pennies on AWS S3+CloudFront or Cloudflare R2, with an open source data pipeline

New Map APIs from Google
Does anyone else have a solution for the satellite layer? I was using MapLibre [0] then needed direct-on-the-ground images which made me convert to Google Maps.

Use 3D map library with API key function of Amazon Location Service
When using the Amazon Location Service, I recommend MapLibre GL JS, which I introduced in my previous article, "Amazon Location Service and AWS Amplify to Use Various Map Library," but you can also use any map library you like, including iTowns this time. I hope you will choose the map library of your choice, including iTowns!

Using Lidar to map tree shadows
Your browser has a very powerful image decoder built into it, offloading the PNG decoding into Javascript is very resource hungry.
Using maplibre (or any map viewer) you can load blobs of image data out of a tiff and use `Image` or `Canvas` to render the data onto a map.
Its even easier if the tiffs are already Cloud optimized as they perfectly align to a 1-to-1 map tile and they don't need to be rescaled, you can then just render the images onto the map. eg here is a viewer that loads webps out of a 15GB tiff and uses Canvas to render them onto a map [1]
Unless you are trying to layer all your maps together, you also could stop reprojecting them into webmercator, or if your goal is to layer them, then storing them in webmercator would save a ton of user's compute time.
There are a bunch of us that talk web maping and imagery in the #maplibre and #imagery slack channels in OSMUS's slack [2]
