Tableau and Cortana Integration - bigdata

Similar to using cortana cards to show powerbi visualisations, Is there any way to make tableau work with cortana intelligence suite? Searched a lot in internet but couldn't find a single piece of useful information. Any references or a workflow to make it work is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Currently Tableau doesn't support cortana.But soon you may expect NLP but as of now no support for cortana.

rmarkdown collaboration without google drive

I am spinning up a project with 4-5 collaborators at all levels of R / markdown / git proficiency. Looking for a solution that allows editors of text/prose to stay in a word processing ecosystem to the extent practicable.
Saw this solution using trackdown ; unfortunately our infosec folks prohibit Google Drive.
https://community.rstudio.com/t/collaborating-on-r-markdown-documents/107771
Saw this SO using redoc but the gitlab documentation & issue list make it seem as though its not very stable.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/61215217/9806500
Is there a similar solution with sharepoint/teams, OR a solution that allows for offline reconciliation of prose with the main rmd?
Thanks in advance!
Something very much like the requested functionality is on the development roadmap for rmarkdown / quatro, but is not currently available. Special thanks to #Jannik on the R4DS Slack for bringing this to my attention.

Is the following report feasible with Power BI?

I am quite new to Power BI and don't have much knowledge about it. I got the requirement to develop a report exactly as it is in the legacy system. The report has integrated bullet charts in a table and a custom collection of dimensions / facts.
Here's a screenshot:
Would it be possible to come up with a Power BI solution for that report which resembles the original more than 90%?
My current report tool doesn't support bullet charts at all (hence I am trying Power BI). However with Power BI it seems that you cannot integrate visuals like bullet charts (tried https://okviz.com/bullet-chart/) into a table.
It would be helping if you could choose one of these answers:
Yes, that's exactly what Power BI was made for and you can get it
from mostly standard functionality within the tool.
Yes, that's possible but you have to use some creative ways to come
up with a solution.
No, visuals, and tabular data are always two separate things in Power
BI
I think you can get duplicate the functionality pretty well, even if the exact formatting is a bit different.
Microsoft does have a Bullet Chart Visual that you can easily add to the out-of-the-box visualizations in Power BI using the Import a custom visual button. Here's a screenshot from the page I linked:
You can use the OKViz one you linked just as easily.
Whether you can get formatting that "resembles the original more than 90%" is unclear. I don't know how much of the style is required to match or how closely.

Resources to learn qt-dbus

Please, could you provide me some resources (web-links) to learn qt-dbus?
I already have a process which provides QtDBus interface, I want to learn it so that I can communicate with it.
First hits from a Google search for qt-dbus and qt-dbus tutorial:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/intro-to-dbus.html
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/QtDbus_quick_tutorial
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials#D-Bus
There were many more interesting hits to list here. Their usefuleness to you depends on what you want to do, of course.
There are some more useful links since Dec '10:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtdbus.html
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/examples-dbus.html
In my opinion, this is the best tutorial to start: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials#D-Bus
http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/QtDbus_quick_tutorial
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/D-Bus/CustomTypes
If you want to introspect D-Bus objects and messages you can use following tools:
http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.6/qdbusviewer.html
https://wiki.gnome.org/DFeet
Nokia has some great Maemo code that you can look off of. I found it's well documented and useful.

Whats the best windows tool for merging RSS Feeds?

It seems like such a simple thing, but I can't find any obvious solutions...
I want to be able to take two or three feeds, and then merge then in to a single rss feed, to be published internally on our network.
Is there a simple tool out there that will do this? Free or commercial..
update: Should have mentioned, looking for a windows application that will run as a scheduled service on a server.
There are a whole pile of options here: http://allrss.com/rssremixers.html.
Maybe http://www.planetplanet.org/
will do what you want.
It's for creating blog aggregations like planet lisp.
Google reader, create a group, add your feeds into the folder and then share that as an RSS feed.
:-)
Works while you're asleep!
Yahoo Pipes could be nice. Depends on how much "private" you want the resulting feed to be.
For 100% offline solution investigate Atomisator. It's a Python framework basically for doing offline what Yahoo Pipes does online.
If you're using PHP, the SimplePie library will do this. Here's a tutorial.

Multi-user Snippet Manager

Currently, we're using a wiki at work to share insights, tips and information. But somehow, people aren't sharing snippets that way. It's probably too inconvenient to write and too difficult to find snippets there.
So, is there a multi-user/collaborative snippets manager around? Something like Snippely. (Has anyone tried Snippely in multi-user mode?)
Since we're all on the same site, it would probably be best if it used mapped network drives or ODBC instead of its own server process.
Oh, and it has to support Unicode and let us choose any truetype font. We're using the hideous APL language, which uses special characters.
It would be nice if it didn't cost money, so I wouldn't have to convince management to pay for it as well as the other developers to use it.
Pastebin is a common solution to this. Just install somewhere on your network, then paste snippets. http://pastebin.com/
Works well when trying to debug a piece of code, or stack trace also.
There's Snip-it pro ( http://www.snipitpro.com ), I looked at it a while back, and the interface seemed to be pretty horrible. It's 40 bucks / seat, which is not too bad. Last time I was looking for a tool like that I found nothing at all, and I found that it's very hard to get my co-workers to start using snippet libraries - everybody is happy to google it or search their old codebases. These days I use Evernote for all of my own snippeting needs.
