ryanatallah··on Ask HN: 2018 Summer Reading List?
The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss

ryanatallah··on We’re sorry, and we’re not rolling out the fees change
It seems very likely that the change was motivated by payment processor fees. Patreon uses Stripe to process payments, which charges a flat rate of 2.9% + $0.30 per successful charge. Compare that to the proposed fee patron fee structure of 2.9% + $0.35 — where presumably the extra $0.05 per transaction is the cut Patreon takes off the top for themselves.

I actually took CS107 in 2012 with Jerry Cain, and we still used this handout as a reference guide.
ryanatallah··on Ask HN: Anything better than Tableau for data viz, dashboards?
Argo (https://argo.io) is a web-based tool that enables fast, natural-language based question asking and visualization of data. It's designed to be used by a non-technical user, so you can share dashboards and visualizations with people, and they can ask their own questions.

Under the hood, Argo uses advanced search processors to turn natural language queries into SQL, optimized for visualization.

You can request a demo on their website: https://argo.io
