Closest ORM models to a latitude/longitude point

Here's how to find the 10 closest locations to a point for a model that has latitude and longitude columns, if you're not using GeoDjango. This runs a brute force distance calculation against every row, so it should only be used on smaller tables - probably less than 100,000 rows. For larger tables you should use GeoDjango instead. See also [my TIL](https://til.simonwillison.net/postgresql/closest-locations-to-a-point) about this.
