   Powerful Data Visualization Tool with a Steep Learning Curve

   I’ve used Tableau to analyze and present data for business reporting, and its strength is clearly in visualization. Turning raw data into interactive dashboards is fast once you understand how the tool works, and the end results look polished and professional.

   However, getting to that point isn’t instant. New users may struggle with calculations, data modeling, and performance tuning. Licensing costs are also high, which can be difficult to justify for smaller teams or individual users.

   Tableau works best for organizations that rely heavily on data-driven decisions and can invest time and budget into analytics. It’s not the easiest or cheapest option, but the output quality makes it worthwhile

• Dropbox CEO Drew Houston to step down

  While there isn't a proper Linux client, if you find yourself on a Linux box and need to sync to or from iCloud, rclone[1] works great. Just putting this out there in the hope that it might help someone. It's also (ironically given TFA) what I used to sync all my files off dropbox when I cancelled my subscription because of their misuse of root to re-add their thing to special permissions on macOs after I had... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Tar: A slop-free alternative to rsync

  Hello, as always: imho (!) tar is great, and well kown - but not particularly for "incremental backups over the net" ... This is what rsync is/was for. Idk ... Whatever the problem is with rsync, but apparently thats none of my business ;)) you could use, which usage is very similar to rsync: rclone * https://rclone.org/ intro. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Self Hosting Gitlab

  For backups I use a script with a systemd timer and rclone. Rclone is a very flexible and configurable Tool, and it can be configured with a lot of services. I use it mainly with web dav, smb and Google Drive. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Show HN: Timelinize – Privately organize your own data from everywhere, locally

  You can schedule the takeout to Drive, then use a tool such as rclone (amazing tool) to pull it down. It should not add any costs except the storage for the takeout zip on drive. Look at supported providers in rclone and you might find easy solutions for some hard sync problems: https://rclone.org/#providers. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Two guys hated using Comcast, so they built their own fiber ISP

  Just offering some advice if you aren't aware. If you are, freely ignore. For convenience, the rclone tool is nice for most cloud storage like google and stuff that make rsync annoying[0] rsync also offers compression[1], and you might want to balance it depending if you want to be CPU bound or IO bound. You can pick the compression and level, with more options than just the `-z` flag. You can also increase speed... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness

  Hey everyone, I'm interested in taking the Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness course through tableau.com to prepare and get Tableau certified. I had some questions about the course, such as are the videos pre recorded or in person, do you have access to the material once the 90 days expire, and I was also wondering if anyone had input/advice for this course. Thanks! Source: about 3 years ago

• Where to publish knowledge sharing on Tableau reverse engineering and data dictionary generation?

  Could anyone recommend what media I should approach to publish my work (internet or print). I could try the Tableau forum in tableau.com but it's not very active + Tableau may be unappreciative as my work overlaps with their (pricey) data management solution. Plus it needs to be some high visibility / reputable media to count for my career development. Any recommendations welcome thanks!!! Source: over 3 years ago

• I have huge loads of data in Redshift. How can I make this available to end-users after performing few procs and queries? It should be available online.

  Tableau public: tableau.com. Big player but your data will be made public and not really user-friendly data model. Source: over 4 years ago

• What tips do you have on evaluating various BI tools for business needs? What are the essential criteria's you would include when evaluating different tools? The goal is to have an unbiased, objective approach.

  For example, we have a project to compare Tableau, Power BI, and InetSoft. The need for strong pagination-based email delivery eliminated Tableau. AWS's Linux instance is the targeted platform which makes Power BI less than ideal. Source: over 4 years ago

• Anyone go into Data Analytics after this program?

  I just started learning Tableau because our dept is transitioning into Tableau from Power BI. Since I already have years of experience with Power BI I just went over their tutorials from tableau.com and got onboarded pretty quick. I'm still learning it but I'm at least able to build out reports and get things done. Its not too difficult to pickup one BI tool when you have experience with another. Source: over 4 years ago
