Thomaschaaf | 6 years ago | on: Can I Email: ‘Can I Use’ for email

For me discovering https://mjml.io/ was the best thing as it takes away the pain of having to think about all the nitpicks of the different email clients and abstracts it into it's own little markup language.

It supports responsive email designs and has many examples which you can alter to your needs.

You can see the power here: https://mjml.io/try-it-live the basic 15 line example expands to 188 lines of html so that it looks the same everywhere.

Getting all of the mentioned requires a real cloud provider which offers more than just servers. Thus you need to choose among the cloud providers. Digitalocean is another provider offering a managed k8s. GCE gives you 600 usd credit - this is valuable if you want to learn new tech.

I actually switched all our servers from hetzner to aws because for our needs it was cheaper and I could spend my time on things I care about. For me K8s only handles non persisting data. All data other is stored outside (Managed DB (like RDS) or S3) of it. You only need to backup the masters. If you use something like GCE that is managed for you & free.

What technical solution is there to writing it yourself that is on-premise and if possible open source and extensible?

I have found mautic but not much else.

The whole point of the article was that she did not need the painkillers and actually prefers it in hindsight.

With the american "sick day" system drugging yourself to work is a necessity. The german take as many sick days as you need lets you choose the healthier route.

I use an app called Freeletics which provides you with a personal workout without requiring any machines. The app makes it hard but always manageable which is nice because I feel like the static programs don't motivate me.

I do it three times a week before work.

I built a project to compare yarn and npm. See https://github.com/thomaschaaf/npm-vs-yarn

The different shows how much better npm@5 is :)

It installs two node.js projects (react & ghost) and shows how long it takes to do under multiple scenarios (cold cache, installed and lockfile). It is automatically run each day. It also creates an average if one version is run multiple times.

You should implement basic ci with travis et al. That commit should never be able to make it into master. If you are using Github you can force green tests before a pull request is mergeable.

I have a feeling this will be used more for bad then for good.

A spam or DDOS bot net running on this would seem like a cheap way to operate.

On the other hand before if you found a 0-day exploit you had to think about how you could monitize it. With this you simply install the software on the exploited machines and billing is already built in.

Thomaschaaf | 13 years ago | on: Go native, HTML5 is going to lag for a while

If companies like apple would not restrict non-native apps to only use the slower JS engine I think a lot of performance issues would go away. HTML5 should almost always be enough for most usecases such as chats, shopping apps, award apps etc. If an app is restricted speedwise to an IE 6 type of Javascript engine and HTML5 Apps heavily use Javascript. The problem aren't the Apps but the JS engine powering these apps.

I don't understand where the actual cash came from in the video. Would this mean I still have to have a register to store the cash in? Wouldn't this make the whole process borked again?
