@agudbrandson Okay, not sure why you weren't getting the error logs. It looks like you somehow managed to get Typica to allow you to save batches to the database without having any green coffee (and 0% mass loss). The measurement data is there and fine and would have been loadable had any of the batches been saved as targets for the roasted coffee items. It's just that the batch details window barfs on nonsense.

If the externals change, I can step in a couple years later and maybe there will be more interesting work to do then.

Officially turned that down. The other big factor in the decision is that the upcoming deliverable schedule is all redoing (for dubious reasons) stuff that we finished years ago. I'd rather work on new stuff.

Received a "thank you for your order" email that was written IN ALL CAPS.

On the other hand, I'm very much that kid who when asked, "would you like to teach the class?" has a history of saying yes and then knocking it out of the park. (I started in 4th grade)

I'm leaning toward either no or not yet, but I'm standing by for more information, clarifications, or a convincing argument for why this is a good idea. There are some things I could do better, but most of my reasons for leaving wouldn't be fixed just by my taking over because the problems originate external to that group.

@gnomon Octopus mugs. I'll post a picture if they come in. They're ordered but the company selling those doesn't believe in packaging materials for fragile products (but they're really good about issuing credits against the bill for stuff that arrives damaged).

@Taweret@octodon.social Aren't those the fake bricks that are nothing but worthless gold?

@cwebber@octodon.social I was surprised, too, but in my case it's the 7 day work week.

@agudbrandson Got it. I'll take a look at that after the shop closes and see if I can figure anything out from that.

@agudbrandson Right, you shouldn't see anything until it finishes and the prompt returns (may take a while if the database is large). Once that's done, the file should exist in your home directory. You can ls to see it or see it in the Finder.

@agudbrandson You're missing some spaces there and need to do some more replacements with your own settings, but yeah, that's the general gist of things. What's the error it's throwing back?

@agudbrandson Replace x.y with the PostgreSQL version number, replace username with the database user Typica uses to connect to the database. Replace db_name with the name of the database that Typica connects to.

If you did that all right it'll ask for the password for that database user and then create a file called backup.db in your home directory.

@agudbrandson Okay, so on a Mac the installer usually doesn't put the pg* programs in $PATH, but under /Library/PostgreSQL/<version number>/bin where <version number> is replaced with the version of PostgreSQL you're using. If you open Terminal, you can:

cd /Library/PostgreSQL
ls

to see which version is there.

cd

to get back into your home directory and then /Library/PostgreSQL/x.y/bin/pg_dump -h localhost -U username -f backup.db db_name

Replacement instructions in the following reply.

@piggo Yes. I've written things basically architected like that. Sometimes it's kind of nasty because of bugs a compiler would have just failed on/worse debugger support, but if the native core is well thought out, feature development goes so much faster and you can often get customizations/fixes out to people without a need for changes in the core.

@cardassianvole Maybe they don't know. Male politicians in particular have repeatedly demonstrated a failure to grasp the basic biology involved.

Yesterday I was looking at new mug designs and mercats (like mermaids except with a cat top) are apparently the hot new thing. I'm guessing these were designed by a Macross fan. Personally, I'm looking forward to getting the octopus mugs.

@agudbrandson Sure. Let me know if you need help.
