Performance comparison of three simple geospatial algorithms
Rust is a relatively new programming language and many problems being tackled in Rust have existing solutions in C/C++. As a Rust developer in need of some non-trivial functionality, you must often choose between a Rust wrapper of an existing C/C++ library and a pure Rust alternative. In this post,...
Feature set study: geo vs geos
Rust is a relatively new programming language and many problems being tackled in Rust have existing solutions in C/C++. As a Rust developer in need of some non-trivial functionality, you often must choose between using a Rust wrapper of an existing C/C++ library and a pure Rust alternative. In this...
Error from floating-point arithmetic in area computations on the Earth’s surface
geo is a Rust library that provides primitives and algorithms for two dimensional geometric operations on a plane or on the Earth’s surface. It forms the core of the Rust ecosystem for Geospatial analysis. In this post, I explore how a very simple algorithm – computation of the area of...
development studies ideologies
science vs development studies : evolution vs revolution ideologies, theories, strategies. examples of ideologies - normative vs positive; economics vs holistic.
Review: participatory development
Participatory development refers to the theories and practices in development studies that explicitly include a role for the people served by development projects in the specification, design or implementation of the projects. This loosely defined term refers to a wide variety of strategies to encourage the involvement of local citizens...
