Noise from the Basement

This post is part of a larger discussion about temporal databases.  Hopefully it stands on it’s own but for more context see the Temporal Database Design page.  You can read the official Wikipedia definition but for our purposes a Temporal Database is a database where you can query for historical data using SQL.  This is work in progress and constructive feedback via e-mail, at chris.cumming@saturdaymp.com, is most appreciated.

In the last Temporal Database post I introduced timelines.  In this post we will talk about the one rule you cannot break:

In a non-temporal database a record dose not change over time.  For example say you have a Contacts table with a name field.

Notes I took while trying to fix the Incomplete Bitcode error in submission bug.  Not sure if it’s fixed yet as I haven’t tried submitting an app to the App Store yet.  Hopefully someone else will try it and confirm it’s fixed.

In summary when submitting an app to iTunes Connect that has the XPlugins.iOS.BEMCheckBox the user got the following error:

ERROR ITMS-90668: “Invalid Bundle Executable. The executable file ‘InstantApp.BoostOrder.Customer.Touch.app/Frameworks/BEMCheckBox.framework/BEMCheckBox’ contains incomplete bitcode. To compile binaries with complete bitcode, open Xcode and choose Archive in the Product menu.”

Our family vacation is over and the basement is back open for business.  Actually we where open on Monday but I forgot to remove the digital closed signed.  Sorry about that.

On this trip we visited Hong Kong and Shanghai, spending about a week in each city.  This is our second time to Honk Kong and we got to see and do things we missed on our first visit.  This includes hanging out at a beach and swimming, hiking the highest mountain in Hong Kong, a helicopter ride (sponsored by our daughter who saved her money for a year), and visiting the highest building in Hong Kong.

Saturday MP is a small family business and like your local family run restaurant the entire family is involved in some way.  Currently it’s mostly me working at Saturday MP but Ada helps with some book keeping and in the past was a consultant.  Our daughter also used to clean the basement office and shred papers.

Also, like your local family restaurant, when we take a vacation the entire business closes.  Well, mostly closes, we can still be reached virtually but please expect delays in our response.  Thank you for your patience and we look forward to serving you when we get back to the basement on November 27th.
