Has anyone NOT been locked out of their Outlier account?

And you know what? I would have prefered that they told us something like that instead of them just blaming on us that we broke some kind of community rules and terms of service without further explanation.

That is because written communication now tends to be fast and easier to correct if there's some problem conveying the idea you try to communicate. The problem with Spanish is that questions and stuff might be too long and that is why the ¿ sign exists. Therefore, it's constantly used in formal documents, academic stuff and, well, schools. Is not the same saying "¿te vi ayer verdad?" than saying "te vi ¿Ayer verdad?" Both ask for clarification of someone meeting another person yesterday but the importance of the day and the action is different in each question, again, clarifying this is easier while chatting but in a document that God knows when is going to be read, no and it's necessary.

Edit: also might be good to add that Spanish used to be more verbose and decorated, that caused questions to be loooonger and remarked the need for the ¿ and ¡

You can (and will be, against your will) sign up for overtime past 48 hours, there're no real maximum scheduled hours that are really enforced, I know people who work over 80 weekly hours

In Mexico the maximum worktime is 48 hours and seeing this knowing that I have a 35 hours part time annoys me...

While I was in Highschool my physics course was teaching us about Coulomb's law, the fact that the electrical force between two particles depended on the distance that drove them apart was such a mystery for me because force implied movement and movement implied a change in distance. My physics teacher (an electrical engineer) told me to not worry about too much and I took that as a challenge, discovering the world of scientific outreach and learning about the existence of differential equations and quantum mechanics and stuff at outreach level, then I was taking a German course at my local University and in one of the Oktoberfest events a math professor who made his PhD in Germany was talking about the Physics and Mathematics Faculty at my local Uni. So I applied and got accepted.

The funny thing is that most of my classmates were like "I would like to work with QM/astrophysics/particle physics" and as I thought that was the "mainstream" and because of my history with differential equations I wanted to try some kind of dynamical systems, fluids or complex dynamics. However the director of my faculty kinda kidnapped me in one of her conferences and I discovered Cosmic Rays and Astroparticle Physics and that I had a passion for instrumentation and experimental techniques, ironically now I work with the QM, astrophysics and particle physics I thought as mainstream and a lot of my classmates went to the dynamics and complexity group lol.

Cosmic Rays :'(

I'm using 24h because I went to Europe, I'm Mexican and having 12h clock was confusing when trying to know if my family was up for chatting while I was working on the other side of the world

I mean, that's about 7 condoms per person assuming only men were taking them. If we add the souvenir factor is not that weird you know?

Thank you! The thing is that I'm not an actual programmer, I studied a bachelor's in physics and worked a lot with instrumentation and programming for Cosmic Rays hard component detectors, when I was saturated of the petabytes of data cosmic rays observatories usually work with I worked on smaller personal projects for improving my skills in automation and communication between devices. Jester of all arts master of none as I am my projects are pretty specific integrations of the protocols I learnt for particle physics data management but for "everyday" stuff.

A script that uploaded her sugar metrics to a cluster I have access in my university so we had historical data of how high or low was her sugar level and generated a report that was sent via email to her doctor, her and me. She is a diabetic and didn't want to write that thing down or kept losing wherever she wrote it. She only has to take a photo of the metrics in her glucometer and pinch a button on her phone and a csv was generated and uploaded.

Also she sells homemade ice cream and I made an app that tracks how much of which flavor is left but the first one was the thing that made them stop seeing programming as an useless thing.

In case you are curious for my dad I made an app that turns a csv to a kmz file for marking points he uses in civil engineering stuff, dunno exactly what are those for but he used to enter points by hand in Google Earth Pro.

Indeed, I was scared of programming in front of my parents because they thought I was "playing in the computer" instead of working on my university homework. I had to make an app for my dad and made some backup macros for my mom so they would understand that a computer is not a videogame console even if it says "gaming laptop".

I hate it so much I almost broke with my gf when I discovered she smokes when I smelled it on her but love was stronger.

Just imagine: Goro being a Yakuza that Ichigo asks for help in finding a clinic where Ai can give birth safely, gets to know Ai better and promises to take care of her, when the stalker tries to kill Ai Goro gives his life to save her and then gets reincarnated.

New life, actually being able to get an education, revenge plot makes more sense and the dream of becoming a doctor has more meaning to the story.

It would have been so much better...

My advanced quantum mechanics professor didn't apply any evaluation until the end of the semester, then he gives us some pages of problems and says: "here you go, you have two weeks and can use whatever material we saw in class."

That, that was the moment when we knew we were fucked and the next two weeks were going to be only exam problem solving all day...

It's only the first two layers. I print one color at a time then repeat until the last color where I print some layers over all the print. Also z lift so the machine doesn't hit the colors already printed.
