is it a good sign when the national weather service runs out of pre-assigned colors to depict temperature?

[veronica@mastodon.online]

@dirkhh I'm guessing that's infrared then!

(Since hot and cold colours are opposite order of high and low energy light.)

@dirkhh How hot is that…

@dirkhh that makes some more sense than an actual heat map

Did you guys decide to keep the water out by boiling it?

[mahryekuh@hachyderm.io]

@dirkhh It's OK because all the reply-people in the social media comments of news outlets say it's just an ordinary summer (fun fact, it's not summer yet) and stop complaining because it's an ordinary workday for them tomorrow.

…

And other reasons why democracy sometimes frightens me (even if it's still better than the alternatives).

That is incredibly well done.
Can I ask about the toolchain used? It looks amazing.

@dirkhh It means you're in Oklahoma. Sorry.

@dirkhh there's a color map specifically designed for that use case in Matplotlib. It's called inferno...
