A few years ago AWS used to be quite generous with SES. As a result it became the source of a lot of spam. Thankfully they started becoming strict since the last 2 years. This along with new features like managed warmup, multi-region sending, has made AWS SES very desirable.

CSV works because CSV is understood by non technical people who have to deal with some amount of technicality. CSV is the friendship bridge that prevents technical and non technical people from going to war.

I can tell an MBA guy to upload a CSV file and i'll take care of it. Imagine i tell him i need everything in a PARQUET file!!! I'm no longer a team player.

I can't help but recommend an accounting software called Manager (https://www.manager.io/). You install it on your computer and its free. It's probably the most beautifully designed accounting software i have come across. They also have a cloud version.

I first came across Manager about 5 years ago and wanted my accountants to use it. However they chose Xero because they were 'used to Xero'.

I still have Manager installed and play around with it whenever i need inspiration.

The downloadable version is single user. All data is stored in an SQLITE file which you can just copy-paste if you have to move computers. You can decide where you want to store the SQLITE file. I ended up choosing a shared dropbox folder. Guess what, now i have a multi-user version. Although, i'm not sure if the Manager team would recommend this approach.

I'm not affiliated with Manager.

The British committed more atrocities (going by body count) in the 20 odd years of India's "peaceful freedom movement" headed by MKG.

1919 - Jallianwala Bagh massacre (over 1500 shot dead in a few minutes). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jallianwala_Bagh_massacre

1943 - Bengal famine of 1943 (over 3 million dead). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943

1947 - Partition of India (2 million deaths) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India

Indian school text books just gloss over British brutality in India.

I have the same question. I have a small DB on Planetscale and happily pay 39 for it. IMO, Vector DB's are the next frontier. I can understand the tough decision for Planetscale, given that the cloud services can just offer it as a service and corner all value of an open source project.

I have a small story about McKinsey from friend of mine in the Indian Bureaucracy from about 10-12 years ago.

McKinsey was doing some work for their dept. I asked him what they did. He said, "McKinsey asked us for lots of information. Then they put it into a dossier and gave it back to us."

I recommend and "independent watchmaker + in-house movement". Need not be Swiss.

If you are getting started with mechanical watches buy an Orient watch (https://orient-watch.com/). You can get one for < $200.

When you want to upgrade - Nomos (https://nomos-glashuette.com/en). $2500 +

Above this is what you can afford but always look for "independent watchmaker + in-house movement".

I also like the designs of Junghans (https://www.junghans.de/en/) but they use a thrid party movement.

The thing about luxury watch makers is, the independent or family owned ones (Patek, Rolex) never seem to have a recession. LVMH and Kering own most of the other luxury brands and they mass produce these luxury watches. Patek for example cannot/will not produce more than a certain number of watches every year

It's just supply and demand.

If you are buying a luxury mechanical watch buy from an independent/family owned company rather than from LVMH or Kering.

We don't bill much with Stripe but have been using it for a very long time. At this point i have to say that Stripe is just extracting it's tax. Anything you do on Stripe is taxed. If you want to get an invoice paid that is charged 0.4% and then you have to pay $2 just to generate an invoice to provide proof of transaction to your customer. And then recurring billing charges went up to 0.7% (from 0.5%) without any reason. (recurring billing charges are over and above the base fee).

You can visit the following page for documentation on how to integrate it into your angular web app. https://www.npmjs.com/package/@send-with-ses/ng-email-design...

You can integrate your api call in the exportHtml() method to save it to your database. And you can load the same template into the component by providing it to [template].

ex: <lib-email-designer [type]="selectedTemplateType" [template]="selectedTemplate" #emailEditor></lib-email-designer>
