PolygonDistances

Create distance-from-country maps using a nonstandard(?) technique that projects longitude and latitude to 3D, performs the computations there, and then projects back to longitude and latitude (by barrycarter)

  • Which industry has/needs the most challenging sql queries?
    2 projects | /r/SQL | 17 Apr 2023
    The fastest thing I've found so far is to rasterize the data, project the points into 3D, create a KDTree, compute the straight line distances, and convert those to spherical distances, all using numpy with python (not SQL), but I wonder if I'm missing something. My work so far: https://github.com/barrycarter/PolygonDistances/

    Thought it would be fun to do that for other countries that have territories spread across the globe like the UK and France. Or things like Europe or the Commomwealth Realms or something. Some code so far: https://github.com/barrycarter/PolygonDistances/
  • Any way to speed up np.vectorize?
    1 project | /r/CodingHelp | 27 Mar 2023
    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54133042/difference-between-numpys-vectorize-and-its-automatic-vectorization may help. Instead of speeding up np.vectorize, don't use it at all. Instead, do parallelizable math on ndarrays, and Python/numpy will automatically do the math in parallel. As an example run this fast code (also at https://github.com/barrycarter/PolygonDistances as sample2.py):
