oooooh boy okay I’m excited bc I’m getting photometry figured out and set up in my code and that’s gonna be really cool bc it will produce PLOTS
but first I gotta figure out how to use this ascii.read() tool and interact with the table it downloads and reads. that’s where I have to get all the apertures and sky positions of the galaxies in the survey. then maybe plots? gotta check those outputs.
i’m getting closer to doing science!!! i really wanna learn how to build my own science tools.
Back to solving code problems with my favorite long feller!!!
I’m mostly solving stuff on paper, but I finally figured out if I fixed one issue I wouldn’t have to change some other stuff that I needed to modify for reprocessing using my collaborator’s cool af tools! we’ll just keep making this longer n more powerful!
This is the longest program I’ve ever written, and it’s really exciting to just keep it growing!
i just got smacked in the face with how useful functionizing your code is and i feel like i’ve unlocked extra powers
Further to the “calculating how many Zimbabweans have died of COVID” thread that I made several weeks ago (and now can’t find on my blog):
The hospitals around here are pretty willing to give up their mortality rates, if you email the medical director and ask nicely, explaining your methodology and justification for the study. Funeral homes are also quite willing to give up their sales rates.
The same cannot be said for anyone governmental or official in any capacity, who just stonewall you with fake numbers. I’m pretty sure I’ve called half the country, looking for the guy with the daily death rate for his local area. (Yes, always a guy. I think they’re scared that if they give me a woman’s number, I might be less intimidated and actually keep going with my investigation. They clearly are not on the autism spectrum and therefore have no knowledge of a question that people refuse to answer getting stuck in their craw.)

Heres my GO Friend code to help get through the dumb 10 New Friends research progress step
you are ONE SINGLE VALUE in a badly-formatted table and I will fight you with all the tools in my arsenal
on the upside, now I know about enumerate(), a very very useful tool for indexing and list comprehension at the SAME TIME.
