QuartzDB explicitly stores everything in UTC, in order to have control over the date-based sharding and retrieval. If you're reading the files directly you'll need to account for this. The API it provides will take timezones into account, so for example you can use the query method and pass in a local timestamp that includes a timezone offset and you'll get back the right results. I strongly recommend not reading the storage files directly and instead using the API that QuartzDB provides.

I'm confused about the exact problem you're having.
If Compass'
composer.lockis referencing 0.1.1, try runningcomposer update p3k/quartz-dbto get it to update that version, or change yourcomposer.jsonto reference>=1.1.4.It sounds like that's the root of the problem, as that fix was in version 1.1.3.

Started using the last digit of my restaurant bill as a checksum, cause I've had the tip amount changed on me too many times now
Decide your rough desired tip, calculate your tentative total, then add up the digits before the decimal point and use that as the number of cents -

Decide your rough desired tip, calculate your tentative total, then add up the digits before the decimal point and use that as the number of cents
Total pre-tip bill: $15.90
Rough tip: $3.00
Pre-checksum total: $18.90
1+8 = 9
Final total: $18.99
Now if someone changes the tip to $4 or $5, the checksum fails. -

why? Unless they change it to like 100% or something wild, let em have it. Likely they need it if they go to the trouble
That was a bad example. Last time this happened, my $5 tip was changed to a $15 tip. -
Really excited that Indigenous has received 74 downloads 😲 Wow. I’m sure to some, that doesn’t seem like a lot, but it does seem like a lot to me! Still working on the next updates.

This gets tricky when prices are either large or end in strange decimals (sales tax):
Pre-tip bill: $81.12
Rough tip: $16
Pre-checksum total: $97.12
9 + 7 = 16 (?)
Final: $97.16 (last digit of sum = 6)
Adjust up to $16.04 or down to $15.94? The mental math could trip people up.
you write the tip amount on the receipt? I just always write the total amount. -

Servers hate tips that aren’t round numbers because it makes it REALLY hard to cash out at the end of the night.
I thought the credit card machines make you enter the final total of the receipt when you cash out the stack of paper receipts at the end of the night. It's been a while since I've done that myself tho... -

So I guess the question is, if the checksum fails, how do you fight it? Contact the bank? The restaurant?
If you want to be nice, you call the restaurant. If you want to just get your money back you file a dispute with the credit card and they usually resolve it without much hassle.
I called the restaurant about my $5 tip that turned into $15 and they happily refunded the $10, and also sounded unsurprised about the whole situation. I'm guessing it was not the first time that happened.
