Spatial Polygon Intersections and Excluding Borders When working with spatial polygons, it’s common to need to find the intersection between two or more polygons. However, in some cases, you may want to exclude areas where the polygons only share a border rather than intersecting fully. In this article, we’ll explore how to achieve this using the sf library and its st_intersection function. Understanding Spatial Intersections Before diving into the solution, let’s briefly discuss spatial intersections.

Replacing Partitions in BigQuery using Queries Introduction BigQuery is a fully-managed enterprise data warehouse service offered by Google Cloud Platform. One of its key features is the ability to store and manage large datasets. However, as data grows, it’s essential to efficiently handle partitioning and replacement of partitions to ensure optimal query performance. In this article, we’ll explore how to replace a partition in BigQuery using queries. Understanding Partitioning Partitioning is a technique used to divide a table into smaller, more manageable pieces called partitions.

Filtering PostgresSQL Query Results Based on Value in a Column Introduction Postgresql is a powerful open-source relational database management system that provides an efficient and flexible way to store and manage data. One of the key features of Postgresql is its ability to filter query results based on conditions applied to specific columns. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this using Postgresql’s built-in filtering capabilities. Understanding the Problem The question at hand involves a Postgresql query that retrieves data from a table named metrics.

Binning Continuous Variable to Discrete Without Overlapping Values ===================================================== Introduction Binning is a common technique used in data analysis and visualization to group continuous variables into discrete categories. However, when bins are created without overlapping values, it can be challenging to ensure that each bin contains a unique range of values. In this article, we will explore how to bin continuous variables to discrete categories without overlapping values. Problem Description The problem arises when we try to create bins with non-overlapping ranges using traditional methods such as ggplot2’s cut_interval, cut_number, or cut_width.

Understanding Null Values in ColdFusion Queries In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of null values in ColdFusion queries. We will explore why using IsNull directly on a query’s column may not yield the expected results and provide a solution to accurately check for null values. Introduction to Null Values Before diving into the specifics, let’s first understand what null values mean in the context of databases. A null value is an unknown or missing value.

Understanding Circle Overlap in R Maps ===================================================== When creating interactive maps using R, one common requirement is to display circles representing various data points or locations. These circles can be semitransparent, allowing for a layering effect and better visualization of the underlying map. However, when multiple overlapping circles are plotted, their colors can become too intense, obscuring the background image. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of circle overlap in R maps, exploring how to address this issue using various approaches.

Drawing a 3D Box Inside a 3D Container Box in iPhone Introduction In this article, we will explore how to create a 3D box inside a 3D container box using CATransformLayer and other iOS frameworks. We will also discuss the different approaches available for creating a 3D effect in iOS applications. Understanding CATransformLayer CATransformLayer is a powerful layer class that allows you to apply transformations to a view, such as rotation, scaling, and translation.

Finding Rows with Similar Date Values ==================================================== In this post, we will explore how to find rows in a database table that have similar date values. This is a common problem in data analysis and can be useful in various applications, such as identifying duplicate orders or detecting anomalies in a time series. Introduction The question at hand is how to find customers where for example, system by error registered duplicates of an order.

UIButton Text Color with RGB In this article, we will explore how to set the text color of a UIButton using RGB values in Objective-C programming language. Setting Button Text Color with RGB When creating a button programmatically, you might want to customize its appearance by changing the text color. In this case, we need to assign an RGB value to the text color of the button. However, when using RGB values directly, it is not immediately apparent that they may not be correct.

Why can my fields not be bound in a T-SQL join? Introduction T-SQL joins are a fundamental concept in database querying. However, they can sometimes lead to unexpected errors and behaviors. In this article, we’ll delve into one such common issue: why certain fields cannot be bound in a T-SQL join. Understanding the Basics of T-SQL Joins Before we dive into the details, let’s review how T-SQL joins work. A T-SQL join is used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column between them.
