Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Elsie Otachi; Editing a .pdf can be tricky. Though it’s a great way to quickly compile and publish information, it isn’t a file format you can edit out of the box. Unlike a Microsoft Office document, a .pdf in’t designed for editing, which is why you need the right tools to tweak the content. A quick search on the internet will show you many editing options for .pdf documents. Some are quite expensive, but the cheap or free editors only offer basic features and don’t convert files accurately. Many can’t edit the text or graphics in a ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Kim Andreaus. “Sharon” is overwhelmed by caring for her parents: both of their caregiving needs are increasing, she is weary from lack of sleep and fearful that her own health is in jeopardy.  Her siblings live out of the area and seem unable to help.  In addition to caring for her parents, she has small children and works full time.   She feels stressed, alone, and unsure how to manage all of the caregiving responsibilities. Caregiving presents both rewards and challenges.   Often the responsibilities land on one person’s shoulders either by choice or default (statistically speaking it ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Kim Andreaus. Last month I wrote a blog about sibling rivalry in caregiving which began with the following thoughts:  'As we are all well aware, providing caregiving for our parent(s) is complicated and messy.   Siblings can often be both a blessing and a curse in this process, providing much needed relief and support, or perhaps creating additional stress and barriers to important decisions and resources.' I received several very thoughtful responses – some of which followed a fairly consistent pattern of “Ok, thanks for unpacking the concept – now what?”  So I thought I would spend ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Gina Bhawalkar. A recent study on design maturity from InVision revealed something really interesting: that design team size is not predictive of a design team’s maturity. That is, it’s possible to dedicate a lot of headcount to design but still see limited benefits on business outcomes. Not only did they find there’s not a correlation, but they also found the average size of the highest-maturity teams — what they call Level 5 — is half that of Level 1 maturity teams. So if unlocking the business benefits of design doesn’t come with investing in more ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Sandra Pattison; If you’ve relocated from Turkey or are traveling, you may find that you can’t access the online content you’re used to. Some websites and online services are restricted to particular countries. If you’re not in that country, you’ll be greeted with an error message. You can get past it easily by getting a Turkish IP address, though. Your IP address is like a virtual ID tag, telling the websites and online services you visit where you are. In some cases, the content is just changed to suit the country you’re in. For example, the language ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Jacob Roach; Things aren’t okay in the town of Riverdale, even outside of the teen drama that plagues Archie Andrews’ gang. With enough references to times past and neon lights to make even Stranger Things blush, Riverdale is worth a watch (read our how to watch Stranger Things guide). In this short tutorial, we’re going to show you how. There are a few ways to stream the show, some of which are legitimate and some that aren’t. Finding the show on its network, The CW Network, can often pose more problems than it’s worth, though, especially with ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R on datawookie. For some time I’ve wanted to recreate the cover art from Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures album. The visualisation depicts successive pulses from the pulsar PSR B1919+21, discovered by Jocelyn Bell in 1967. Album art.Data The first obstacle was acquiring the data. I found a D3 visualisation by Mike Bostock. This in turn pointed me to a CSV file in a gist belonging to @borgar. After reading the CSV data into pulsar I applied some light wrangling (the raw data is a matrix). library(dplyr) library(tidyr) pulsar read.csv(CSV_URL, header = FALSE) %>% mutate(row = row_number()) %>% ...
