    Servers hate tips that aren’t round numbers because it makes it REALLY hard to cash out at the end of the night.
    Aaron Parecki
    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.
    Aaron Parecki
    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
    Aaron Parecki
    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
    Aaron Parecki
    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.

    #3 How to get correct version for composer?

    Aaron Parecki

    I'm confused about the exact problem you're having.

    If Compass' composer.lock is referencing 0.1.1, try running composer update p3k/quartz-db to get it to update that version, or change your composer.json to reference >=1.1.4.

    It sounds like that's the root of the problem, as that fix was in version 1.1.3.

    #4 Does QuartzDB respect date_default_timezone_set?

    Aaron Parecki

    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.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
