Re: [FRIAM] Find String in Spreadsheet

If you just want to find something, using the Find option from the menu will work and it should give you the option of searching within the current sheet or across all sheets in the workbook. If there are multiple results, it should pop up a docked window at the bottom of the spreadsheet to

I can come up with a couple of possibilities. First, that some of the opioid deaths are counted in other causes of death to get to the 2% number.  The second, is that there is another category of opioids beyond the "heroin", "natural & semi synthetic, inc. oxycodone", "synthetic, inc.

Re: [FRIAM] Advice on configuring computers

Depending on the size of the computer, with smaller ones being less likely to allow it, most of them will be able to have two hard drives.  A frequent configuration now is to have a primary drive that Windows is installed on, which is an SSD, and a secondary larger non-SSD drive. Annoyingly

Re: [FRIAM] Blockchain Questions

Hopefully I won't kill this thread too... If my still somewhat limited sense of blockchain, at least for Bitcoin, is correct, there are two pieces to this process that are being somewhat conflated.  The first is that there is computation required to validate a block of transactions, and that

Trump is entirely in the wrong on this, at least if speaking factually is what would determine whether he was right... He watched, presumably, the following segment from the Tucker Carlson show on Friday night: Sweden Government Covering Up Immigrant Rape & Crime - Ami Horowitz - Tucker Carlson

Hi Owen, we've done some work using Processing to do 3D visualization in NetLogo -- both by opening an Processing window from a running NetLogo model and by running NetLogo headless from a Processing program (and doing real-time visualization of the running model).  Of course, NetLogo uses

Re: [FRIAM] text and picture layout programs for mac?

You can try Gimp (http://www.gimp.org).  It's primarily an image editor, but can do text overlays. It handles text a bit oddly, so it'll take some work to get used to it, but for small amounts of text, it should be fine.  A heck of a lot better than Paint. Free and available with ports for Mac

Re: [FRIAM] Password Change Requests

At least with LastPass (and presumably with 1Password as well), there's an option to save the master password in the browser extension so you don't have to type it in when you open the browser.  That obviously reduces the security of it tremendously, but is a risk largely determined by the

Re: [FRIAM] [EXTERNAL] Urgent: skype vulnerability?

Actually, it's probably not a vulnerability, it's a feature...  (and did it before Microsoft bought them so we can't even blame M$). Skype was originally set up to do peer to peer communication without going through any sort of centralized Skype-owned servers.  I believe it still does that

You may want to look at BIRT (http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/).  It's a Java-based reporting engine built on Eclipse, and intended to take data from databases and produce reports.  BIRT is an Eclipse-based open source reporting system for web applications, especially those based on Java

I'm a fan of Mendeley.  For me it solves a few problems that the other reference tools I've used don't do as well.  First it reads through PDF files on my hard drive and does its best to identify the article.  Given that I've got something on the order of 25,000 PDFs (yes, I do collect too

One language missing from that site is R (understandably since it's really tough to search accurately for a single letter, although they seem to do it for C and D...)  It's also tough because most R package development is done on the R-Forge site or just uploaded to CRAN, so there's no good way

This may be the article you're thinking of -- it's by Barry Commoner from 1976 (so your memory may not be quite as bad as you think). Unfortunately, you'll probably have to buy a subscription to the New Yorker archives to read it... or maybe see if one of those things called a library has it.
