We use paraquat quite a bit in a way that we never actually exposed to the chemical. I imagine our procedures are quite different to how it was handled even 10 or 20 years ago.

I had an idea to sort of automate this process or even a user aided wizard as a product but never to round to the mvp. Still an ok idea I think as satellite imagery on wall is great talking point. It can be beautiful, dramatic, always changing so makes for sets of images showing changes etc

Good idea. I'm in.

No till farming is widespread especially in Australia for decades. Nearly all dryland farms take this approach. It just means controlling fallow weeds without tillage, usually with herbicide. Then plant straight through the previous crop residue. This preserves moisture in the soil and the soil structure. Planters mostly do this fine. I'm not sure what has not yet been invented elsewhere.

I love the enthusiasm, but is this another Google thing that is for researchers only? Yes fantastic technology etc, but say you develop something on the infrastructure then go to commercialise, what do you do?

I don't know much about the ML space, but is this a bit like Google Earth Engine, amazing tech, very generous resources free for researchers and development but cannot be ported elsewhere so to commercialise you then are limited to this very environment which is not cheap. I recently reached out to Google for pricing on GEE, 3 weeks later I got a response. 3 weeks.

Great, thanks I'll check it out.

What are suggested online courses to learn about multi variable time series forecasting? My skill level is - ok with university level Biometrics but that was 10+ years ago, and I am web/self-taught python for web apps and automating GIS tasks.

Also I'd like to be able to read the reddit comment without having to leave the site if possible. Am liking it though, already been down a few rabbit holes. Good stuff.

Hey nice idea- I am looking at building a dashboard style web app like yours. Have you used any frameworks here or rolled your own? - I am on mobile or id take a closer look myself.

PostGIS can write to GeoJSON so you can have a simple flask or bottlepy webserver to query the db. Then use leaflet GeoJSON layer to pull down the data and render it on map.

There is of course the newer vector tiles which is a better solution in many situations but a bit more complicated to get going. Crunchy Data have made some good examples and a nice tile server for this.

I just realised you are the author, so thankyou!

I read that blog post. Such a good example. But there is even a comment in there warning about raster via database. I am going to try it out as well with some MODIS data. I wonder what needs to be done to make raster more performant in POSTGIS?

I love PostGIS. I have used it in many projects.

PostGIS raster is really interesting to me but the general sentiment is that it's a bit slow and only use it if you need to. It just seems so powerful to combine raster and vector with SQL. What would the alternative be for raster query vertical and horizontal combined with vector? GRASSGIS Timeseries tools look interesting but I've not tried those. Any other ideas?

For someone not overly ear to the ground culturally this is a rabbit hole. The Youtube one fascinates me. I've not heard of most but imagine there are hundreds of interesting stories behind every item. Interesting work and concept. Well done.

Thanks. I wrongly assumed OVH would as you describe AWS, especially when setting up an 'instance' in their 'public cloud'. I just a quick look at their Vrack product to see if it links instances to object storage. Doesn't look like it.
