Yeah that’s my main machine. I also have a 13” pro that I use for video editing and audio work. It handles final cut better than the 12” tho I can do video on the 12” in a pinch. It’s also nice to have a computer without all my normal distractions. -

@aaronpk do you need to do anything special to push that many pixels?
It’s actually only half the pixels of a 4K display, so my 12” MacBook can drive it fine. It’s 3440x1440. -
Why have two monitors when you could just have one really really wide one instead!

Hmm odd! I see it as “activity: rsvp” in the webmention.io mentions endpoint. I’m not sure how to link to that, though.
I think that's a webmention.io bug where it sees the post is an rsvp but doesn't take in to account that its an rsvp to something that isn't on your site -
Turns out XRay does handle the invitee property already: https://xray.p3k.io/parse?pretty=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fboffosocko.com%2F2018%2F07%2F20%2Frsvp-to-virtual-homebrew-website-club-meetup-on-july-25-2018%2F
There's a different problem with XRay tho which is that it's using the lastest microformats parser which somehow doesn't see the "rsvp" or "in-reply-to" properties on this post.
Where do you see that this was interpreted as an rsvp to you? There could be something wrong with how webmention.io is interpreting this XRay object. -

Interesting way to catch tip modifications by waiters. However, I am always surprised that in this age of digital everything, where even currency has gone digital, we are still forced to depend on scam-prone manual tip checking.
It's really just the US's insistence on sticking to the existing model where you get your bill and then they take your card and bring you back the receipt. The much more sensible way to do it is to bring the credit card reader to the table which solves the problem, since in that case you get to see the final amount rung up on the machine. -

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. -

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... -

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. -

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. -

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
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. -
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.
-
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.

So:
1. Do some clustering on my `following` collection.
2. Make lists for each cluster. I can then label them manually ("High school", "Breather").
3. Make a list for "used to follow" just in case.
3. Unfollow any account that doesn't follow me back.
That's basically what I use "channels" in my "social reader" for. I do feel like it's about time to implement a more formal workflow for it now that it's been working well as is. https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet -

@aaronpk thanks for your reply Aaron. I put additional info here: https://twitter.com/jerrygallo6
It looks like my screenshot is wrong. If you're accessing the app in your browser at "http://localhost:8000/" then make sure that exact URL is entered as the callback URL too. -

@aaronpk Reading your book, and a bit confused on the 2nd chapter trying to setup the account on github. I'm running my local PHP server behind firewall. I keep receiving error: http://localhost:8000/callback?error=redirect_uri_mismatch... Is it required to be a public facing IP?
I thought GitHub allows local addresses. Make sure the exact url is registered in github. e.g. "localhost" vs "127.0.0.1" are considered different URLs.
