    Other solutions are interesting, yes, but HighCharts is an incredible product with a LOT of features built-in. I've built a reporting tool on top of it and it covers a lot of use c…

    It's actually 80% of the salary for any work that has been done in R&D, but like you said, most of the work isn't. A few years ago a lot of stuff could be considered as work "betwe…

    I've been toying with the idea, yeah. Then I got my MacBook Pro stolen and used an old laptop replacement with Ubuntu while I was in the process of replacing it. Long story short, …

    Incredible read patio11. I totally am totally used to think like a human (ref : Twenty times as much, you ask? No, transitioning from "pocket lint" to pennies. Stop thinking like a…
