I'm gonna miss the middle of the night QOTO crew once I finish this project and go back to the land of the living :(

@ccc Well sure, but we arent discussing a room that is open to the outside world, or a fan pointing outside a window. We are discussing a closed room with a computer in it.

### Adventures in Pettiness

Man I have gotten so petty with food delivery services lately.

Normally, pre-covid I always was happy with service, the occasional mistake, but for the most part it wasn't too bad. Happily gave a pre-paid generous tip every time and left it at that.

Since covid however, and really even a little before that service has went to shit. About 75% of the time, maybe more, significant portions of my order are missing or simply made completely different than described on the menu (like getting a meat pizza when you order veggie or something)... and about 98% of the time the delivery person doesnt follow the delivery instructions on where to leave the food, which is important since i live in the city and I dont want my food just out in the open.

Anyway the problem is so rampant im at the point where I tip 0$ up front and add the tip after and ONLY if the instructions are followed exactly, if they dont no tip for them. But with a catch, everytime I give 0 tip i added to a running tally and when someone actually delivers the food correct I go on the app and add the tip post delivery **plus** the running tally. It is usually a 4x bigger than usual tip but sometimes even more.

Moreover if even a single item is wrong, and assuming the restaurant didnt call first to confirm it was ok, I demand the item be redelivered and if they refuse I demand a refund. I do this even if its just something as simple as a bottled water. The idea is that restaurants, if they need to foot the bill for redelivery, will not keep making these mistakes.

Yesterday i had an order that was missing my drinks, 2 diet soda. I demanded a delivery and I only got 1 diet soda, so demanded a second redelivery and got my second drink. I can only imagine how grump the delivery guy was needing to make 3 round trips for free... But hey, do your damn job and you wont have to!

Very few people, even scientists get this.. Mostly because the primary motivator for people is to use science to tell them what reality is, and they often use it to win arguments... Thats perfectly fine and people are welcome to use it that way (though I'd discourage it on philosophical grounds).. but the issue isnt that they use science this way, its that they think that it **is** science to use it in that way. Which as we agree it is not.

@mur2501

Science is about observation, sharing those observations, discussing those observations, and getting better at predicting what we expect to observe given certain conditions... that is all science is about, doing that and doing it well. Right and wrong is the domain of the human ego and rests squarely outside of science.

@Wetrix @icedquinn

@Wetrix

Sounds about right :)

I identify as a smart person.

@icedquinn

@Wetrix

Either that or you actually beleive in conspiracy theories... The hitch is figuring out which one it is. Afterall if that were you you probably would think it wasnt ;)

@Wetrix

it is someone who is heterosexual and their gender and sex are the same

@icedquinn

@Wetrix

Only a CISHet ultra white male alt-right would dare to call me names!

@icedquinn

@Wetrix

Did you just call me sensative!!! SENSATIVE!!!! How dare you. I am not fucking sensitive you racist asshole!

@icedquinn

@Wetrix This applies to python and works the same on any OS when using python.

Are you asking what python is?

@icedquinn

So now you cant even make people cry by telling them they are a shit coder? No wonder they cant get anyone done, everyone is too busy being nice to each other!

@Wetrix

@icedquinn

Yea its so absurd. You think they would have fixed that in 3.x but noooooo.

Threads do have some minimal use, mostly just to make code async.

@Wetrix

@Wetrix Multithreading in python doesnt allow you to utilize multiple cores, you must use multiprocessing. But with multiprocessing you cant just share python objects among processes you have to just pass the raw data along. Which can be an expensive operation to construct and descrunt objects and often times you dont have enough control over an objects internals to do it at all.

Python multiprocessing can go fuck itself... thats all... good night, im going to bed salty as fuck though.

@TropicalHusky What do you mean? Public in what sense? It is open source and is available in a few package managers in most major systems as far as I know.

@TropicalHusky I'm not sure about the underlying code I installed it from my project manager and run it. I never bothered to look at what language/framework it is coded in.
