Friday’s Code Switch bonus episode

[infryq]

Yesterday I met with indicators, did some population research, dropped the Y survey from the set L analyzes for anomalies, and helped debug a problem with one of the API replica servers. I went to the visualization team meeting and we talked about color scales and log bins and preliminary user study results. I followed up with A afterwards to work out some of the implementation details for updating the FIPS codes we’re using for counties, and how to specify a smoothed and raw signal to be distributed in the same map view. Met with L about process anomalies, then with Z and G for onboarding; they’re joining temporarily and bringing a bunch of expertise in industrial-strength data import pipelines. In the cracks between things, ran the F pipeline again on request, since the weights were delivered too late to catch the morning run; posted the signup text for the hackathon in the Slack welcome channel, and made a pile of notes on various GitHub issues.

Dinner, crossword, then P helped me resolve a minor dispute between my past, present, and future self and I took an evening shower to wash my hair. Morning-Katie is grateful for Evening-Katie’s sacrifice of DS9 time, so it was a good resolution.

Snack, sleep; dreamt of lockdown with P’s parents, a phoenix transformed into a brooch, some sort of intrigue played out in the rental car areas of an airport, flight attendants, CRT televisions, space travel, Jupiter’s moons.
