PSG is a health care consulting, data science and research firm in Toronto, ON. We use data to find ways to improve health care. Our clients and partners include Ministries of Health, Health Regions, Hospitals, Agencies, Consulting Firms and Universities.
We need help loading, validating, and preparing clinical and financial data for analysis.
We're open to either full- or part-time and would consider students or moonlighters who can dedicate some spare time as long as they are reliable and reasonably available.
Depending on your skills and how you progress, you could also help with data analysis or developing internal tools (usually in python, but sometimes as js web apps).
OS X reused the screenshot shortcut keys from the Classic Mac OS (System [n]) days. And back then, I think Cmd-Shift-1 and Cmd-Shift-2 ejected floppy disks, when there were such things.
In Windows 8.1 you can override the scaling for individual apps through their properties dialogs. Set Chrome to not scale, then set the zoom within Chrome to be > 100%.
The url bar and tabs will be a bit small but the page content will look good.
yeah, it can be annoying that the directory stack sequence keeps changing, which means that sometimes you can't easily re-run commands from your history if you've pushd since you last ran the command
e.g., a command like "tar cfz bak.tgz ~3 ~2/subdirectory ~1" would mean something else once you've "pushd +3".
I always find it hard to undo my sequence changes to get the stack in the same order as before, so usually end up typing "dirs -v" a lot (or its alias) and renumbering my ~N references.
I got a 3G radio with my last Thinkpad (1.5 years ago) and have barely used it. It seemed like a great feature, but because WiFi is almost ubiquitous (and when not, it's easy enough to create a hotspot on my phone), I haven't been willing to commit the extra $10/month and get an extra SIM to share my phone's data plan on another device.
I definitely agree with this on the desktop, but I wonder if it's still true when folks try to contact you via mobile and they can't keep the browser window open for reference while entering your address in their email client.
It'd also be possible to double-park (triple, or more even), using less parking space. If the car in the middle needs to get out it can ask its neighbours (several levels deep) to shuffle around and make a path
Usually when developing web apps I get things working in Firefox first then test in the other browsers.
Lately I've been doing some work with Canvas and found IE to be the fastest for drawing large (many points) polygons(* ). I never thought I'd say this but it's been a lot more pleasant to develop in IE, at least during the proof-of-concept stage where I haven't done much optimizing or caching.
(* ) I haven't benchmarked whether it's the canvas drawing or javascript engine (or both) that's faster, just that overall I'm getting 30+% better performance from IE
