I've been working with the python pandas library for over ten years now and have become fairly well-acquainted with it in that time.

joins in pandas remain the bane of my existence

@randal_olson Reddit can be good for showing images and discussing ideas, but obviously not at all good for networking.

Discord has a few great servers but these are hard to find, and probably skew younger.

But I do use both of these already and will personally use them more in future

[Colorado State University @ColoradoStateU]

.@ametsoc will recognize 3️⃣ CSU researchers for their outstanding contributions to weather, water and climate science.

They will be honored at the 103rd American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting Jan. 8-12 in Denver 👏 https://t.co/1AnH0cRDel

If Xcel Energy insists on the ludicrous time-of-use billing scheme, then they should account for when power is generated at solar panelled homes in their calculations.

What they're doing here is outright theft, according to their own set value of electricity.

[The Colorado Sun @ColoradoSun]

Xcel pays Colorado solar homeowners 8 cents for their extra electricity. Then charges neighbors 17 cents to use it.

Smoke rising from the #SheepFire in San Bernardino Co as seen from the #GOES 17 weather satellite is a reminder of the elevated fire danger in our area. This image is from the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) site. #CAwx

Tried to use #Imagen to generate collectable Japanese postage stamps about VR cats. I love these results!

It's brutal that fire season is gearing up already, brutal for everyone involved, especially for those directly affected by the fires.

But for our piece as CO residents, the pall of smoky skies has become an unfortunate "feature" of summer over the past few years

[NIDIS Drought.gov @NOAADrought]

Unfortunately, on queue, multiple new fires burning near Flagstaff are sending smoke streaming into Colorado. As shown on the @NOAAResearch HRRR Smoke Map.

It’s funny how backwards the research community is.

Better ways to share code, data, results have existed for decades. But the primary research output remains a several page PDF document designed for printing on dead trees

@danrothenberg This is definitely the perfect use case for Ballmer Peak. Need to be able to make those non-linear associations and not be too frustrated at the insanity that is this source code :|

[Ryan Gooch @sRyanGooch]

Currently parsing through a big project composed of scientific FORTRAN code.

I need drinks. A lot of them.

[CIRA @CIRA_CSU]

Gravity waves over Maryland.

Beautiful GeoColor imagery, this afternoon via GOES-East: https://t.co/3K4WGRFDcs.

I especially appreciate the flexibility in terms of which installed version of python you can specify (for both of these)

[Ryan Gooch @sRyanGooch]

`poetry` is awesome if you're looking for a virtual environment manager for python

`pipx` is great if you're looking for a standalone-python-executable manager for your system

Good morning.

It’s another day closer to Opening Day & another day that:

[Jonathan McDowell @planet4589]

The first three payloads - ENMAP, LEO-1 and GNOMES-3 - should now be deployed in a 636 x 651 km x 98.0 deg sun-sync orbit. In 10 min stage 2 will make the first of two burns to lower orbit to 496 x 510 km for the remaining deploys

[Ryan Gooch @sRyanGooch]

@rabernat The story in that retweet happened at my undergrad/master's university as well. An instructor was buying extra lab equipment and selling it on the side for over a decade before someone figured it out.

As you say, university financial compliance must be just theater

[Ryan Abernathey @rabernat]

Meanwhile, I pay a $50/mo Heroku bill out of pocket because they are not an approved vendor.

University financial compliance is mostly theatre.

TIL that the Library of Congress published dataset preferences, for long-term storage. HDF5 is considered "Acceptable" (of which netCDF4 is a sub-type, of course)

Great start to March Madness with BOTH of my Alma maters in action today. Go Rams and go Cats!
