not important but would be cool: id numbers generated from centroid and start date
totally a random thought. what if we had a number for the start date (days since 1970) combined with the lat/long of the centroid as the seed to generate an alphanumeric code for the id number. that way independent iterations of firedpy would come up with the exact same id numbers for the same events.
examplecode from R. library(tidyverse)
days_from_1970 <- Sys.Date() %>% as.numeric my_house <- c(40.019786, -105.266943)
set.seed(sum(days_from_1970, my_house)) stringi::stri_rand_strings(n = 1, length = 10) [1] "KrSDx6y6oU"
set.seed(sum(days_from_1970, my_house)) stringi::stri_rand_strings(n = 1, length = 10) [1] "KrSDx6y6oU"
Another thought on this - use lat long for the centroid, that way it's more easily understood
