Introducing a new Python package called dask-ee! It can turn an #EarthEngine Feature Collection into a #dask DataFrame with one line of code. Accelerate your geospatial workflow with parallel computing github.com/alxmrs/dask-ee

Dask DataFrame is now 20x faster. Some of most prominent changes include: - Apache Arrow support in @pandas_dev - Better shuffling algorithm for faster joins - Automatic query optimization Learn more: docs.coiled.io/blog/dask-data…

I'm updating the Dask.org homepage and could use quotes from happy Dask users that don't mind having their name and face on the site. Any kind words you can share about why you like Dask, find it easy, or how helped you solve a problem? Short answers preferred!

Query planning for Dask Dataframe released github.com/dask/dask/issu… Dask dataframe is pretty fast now, even when folks write less-than-perfect code. $ pip/conda/uv/mamba install dask
