It looks like DHL estimates they can get things from Wisconsin to the UK faster than they can get the same things from the UK to Wisconsin.

@fribbledom I'd work on projects to help people roast coffee better, same as now, but I'd spend a lot more time on it.

If I download a big file in Firefox the notification in plasma spins up a full core to 100%. Not on the latest plasmashell. Hopefully whatever causes that is fixed. It does the same thing when trying to decide which WiFi to connect to. That's got to be the least efficient throbber ever written.

Probably the nicest feature here is the use of relaxed cubic splines for (inter|extra)polation. That's a much better model for coffee roasting (and a lot of other physical processes) than what other editors support.

While this code will eventually get merged in with Typica and will work with data generated by Typica, I'd like to also keep a certain level of functionality available as a separate program so that people who don't use Typica can benefit without a lot of bloat. Some of this is useful even for people who are still on paper logging and I'm open to supporting import/export for competing programs.

Today seems to be a good day for writing programs. I've been working on a new program for handling coffee roasting data: viewing, editing, creating roasting plans, comparing plans, making educational graphics, &c.

I've been using the pieces I have for graphics in my videos, but that way of working is not nice for people who have never written a computer program.

A recent example is the graphs in this video (7:59, 30:47): https://video.typica.us/videos/watch/dd83fb76-08de-4d3a-b995-841ef3fada73

The defective coffee roaster has been picked up and is now on its way back to the manufacturer so they can fix it. It arrived broken.

Some cats ask for belly rubs and then start chewing your hand when you provide the belly rubs. My cat asks for belly rubs and then happily accepts the belly rubs (and will probably ask for more if the belly rubs stop)

@interneteh The lesbians behind the dining hall are cute. They look like they're in a good, healthy relationship.

@professor_stoke One person has picked a wrong answer.

Lately I've been seeing an uptick in scam emails trying to pretend that their the admin on my servers threatening dire availability consequences if I don't fall for their phishing scheme. Of course since I am the admin and I know that I didn't send those messages to myself those just get deleted.

@agudbrandson You won't find an option for that feature there. It looks like that button was removed about a year ago. I should write a better comparison feature.

@agudbrandson If you run into further trouble, let me know.

@agudbrandson Right, you see where it says unroasted_id: {}? That means that when you were in the New Batch window you didn't specify a green coffee item. As soon as you start doing that, those batches will not present that warning. No new downloads required.

That your green and roasted weights are the same is also suspicious, but that will only cause reports on weight loss/production totals to be wrong, not cause errors.
