yesterday I used source generated JSON deserialization

it completely removes the reflection stage which *really* *significantly* improves performance

very relevant for me, as I'm getting barraged with up to couple hundred AIS messages per second

ais position message entity class with a json serializer context class configured for this entity. the nested structure may be weird looking, but I'm merely repeating after the messages I receive from API (next pic) AIS API position message structure from documentation

'Blurring migrant solidarity: Navigating the troubled regime of "helping others" from the urban ground of Palermo' by Francesca Guarino

This paper explores migrant solidarity in Sicily in the aftermath of the so-called 'migration crisis' in 2015.

doi.org/10.1111/area... #geosky
Screenshot of a paper abstract in Area by Francesca Guarino (2026) entitled: 'Blurring Migrant Solidarity: Navigating the Troubled Regime of ‘Helping Others’ From the Urban Ground of Palermo' with a black banner at the top. This paper explores migrant solidarity in the aftermath of the 2015 so-called ‘migration crisis’ from the ground of the Southern Italian ‘solidarity city’ of Palermo, building on ethnographic material collected across 2022/2023. It argues that migrant solidarity both resists and reproduces racialised borders, as it is never entirely and clearly detached from the border regime, but is deeply entangled within it. Although this argument is not new per se, this paper adds empirical depth to it following two strands. First, presenting solidarity in Palermo as embedded within the city's political economy, the paper reflects on how, within a persisting unequal and racialised access to rights, solidarity can allow for multiple extractions to be operated against migrants, while simultaneously providing a ‘safer space’ for existence. Second, drawing on the experiences of migrants who have—at least from a surface level outside perspective—comparatively better positions within the city, the paper defies their portrayals as mere recipients of help, and explores the complex ways in which they navigate the restricted opportunities opened up by solidarity alongside ubiquitous borders. The paper thus shows (1) how in Palermo solidarity has produced several outcomes—moral recognition abroad, local economies, opportunities for a vast array of people involved with migration—in the overall permanence of local shortages and everyday structural racism; (2) how the local solidarity network fills the gaps of a local retreating social care and of the state's repressive politics; (3) how this network is strategically navigated by racialised migrants to carve out opportunities, social ties and space for political development.

i'm adding individual ids to chunks of the #eez, without these their viewport presence isn't tracked properly:
- track by at least 1 chunk then eez are loaded incomplete
- track by only when all chunks are on map (its rare) and there will be duplicates

#buildinpublic #dev #gis #geosky #sql
screenshot of a script that creates a materialized view for economical zones on one of the zoom tiers. these queries differ only in the second argument of ST_ functions btw. one of the columns, the newly introduced chunk id, is enumerated from 1 along the whole table, making the records unique. in the query result fragment its demonstrated how a zone (identified by gid) can have either only one chunk or many

'Adding lines along pixels: Remote sensing, traditional knowledge and human-fire interactions in Ethiopia and India' by Kapil Yadav & Henry Thompson

This paper is part of an ongoing Special Section: 'Mapping Human-Fire Interactions'.

doi.org/10.1002/geo2... #geosky
Screenshot of a paper abstract in Geo: Geography and Environment by Kapil Yadav & Henry Thompson (2025) entitled: 'Adding Lines Along Pixels: Remote Sensing, Traditional Knowledge and Human–Fire Interactions in Ethiopia and India' with an orange banner at the top. This study critically examines the limitations of satellite remote sensing (SRS) in capturing the complexities of human–fire interactions. It proposes a relational approach grounded in the embodied, place-based knowledge of communities living with fire. Conventional SRS reduces fire to pixels, providing a synoptic yet partial view of fire regimes. Fire governance shaped by these representations often marginalises local practices, knowledge, and priorities. Drawing on relational theory and critical remote sensing scholarship, we introduce ‘adding lines along pixels’, an approach that reworks the use of SRS through a situated, community-centred perspective. Here, lines denote the dynamic relations among fire, people, landscapes, and institutions, which pixel-based methods overlook. Our case studies in Ethiopia and India used satellite data alongside ethnographic and participatory approaches to explore not only where and when fires occur, but also why they emerge and how they are embedded in seasonal rhythms, livelihood practices and local governance. This approach challenges the prevailing narratives that marginalise local fire use and underscores the need to engage with diverse knowledge systems for more inclusive and effective fire management. As fire governance is reshaped by climate change and digital technologies, such critical engagements are essential for co-producing sustainable fire futures.
