I'd settle for a place that stuck to the original Joel Test.

After all most of the CICD stuff in this list is covered by his original 1-step builds rule. If you have that then scripting cicd stuff is trivial. Similarly his test covers testing.

Everything else in here is just disguised Scrum.
I co-founded a company in this space a few years ago. We ultimately pivoted out of the space because for all of the user buy-in that we got, the legal encumbrances were way too high to be able to successfully operate without raising a lot of money just to pay lawyers. If we'd decided to go the VC route instead of bootstrapping we might have been able to make a go of it, but raising VC money for a startup in the midwest working on something as mundane as farming was looking pretty untenable.
I have been using bootstrap exclusively for years. I will give this a try on a small throwaway project. I am concerned by the apparently large size of CSS and JS, based on other comments here.

Oh it's been that for... I dunno, 15 years now? Maybe more to be honest. It's just got worse recently.

Not that the other side doesn't exist too of course, but acceptance is hard - even for better ideas - if the community doesn't buy in.

Appart from DNS many CAs do web or email based checks. And those had quite a few vulnerabilities in the past, e.g. in the extraction of whois records (via OCR...) [1] or through markup injection in the validation emails [2]. CAA can prevent misissuance in such cases.

Having an extra safety layer around these is definitely useful. It's not a super strong measurement like HPKP and CT, but still I think CAA is a useful extra security mechanism in the CA ecosystem.

So? Human beings have the ability to make a huge impact on the environment, and therefore the value assigned by people to various outcomes and tradeoffs does matter.
> Yes, but such sales are outside the scope of the VAT MOSS scheme.

So why ask for the country of the seller in the API?

> Of course the practical effect of the changes is typically that the place of supply is now treated as the customer's location where previously it was probably the business's location, so perhaps that's what you meant and we're really talking about the same thing here.

Yes, that's what I meant.

BTW that 'demand for money' also happened to me, it appears that in the first few months of VATMOSS there was a massive cock-up at the Irish department tasked with this leading to a whole pile of nastygrams sent to lots of EU businesses, they never even apologized for that (or sent any follow up saying that they were in error).

It's all in our head anyway, so if it was a placebo effect, but a noticeable one for that person, with the trigger being that "I took LSD", then why not?

When you're angry, but can calm down or feel happy because of a single thought, that can be called placebo as well, just one thought triggering a whole cascade in your brain.

Sure, for life saving drugs, placebos should have no place, but for anything else - why not?

> If you or anyone you rely on makes a mistake then your user will probably be breaking the law and on the hook for any missing tax.

Yep. And the fines for VAT errors range from 'don't care' to 'existential' depending on the amount and the time before the error was detected.

The biggest danger that I see is what will happen when the rates change.
I got the impression from an earlier article that it is completely without Internet though. So more LAN of Things?
This shouldn't be an API. It should be a query library and a dataset you can download with a batch job.

Please consider releasing the source code.
That one confused me, I thought "It's not working" but you actually have to press "Run Code" just above the snippet.

Rather atypical for this kind of showcase.
It doesn't need level 5 autonomy, and level 4 autonomy in managed conditions seems quite reachable. Also, in this situation, it's okay if the car decides that a problem is unsolvable as long as it stops safely - if it encounters weather or road conditions that it can't safely handle, the driver will handle it; if it needs interaction with cargo, police or refueling - the driver will handle it, etc.

Level 5 is so distant because it requires solving many problems that we haven't fully acknowledged yet; but Level 4 is different, major car companies (e.g. I recall a quote from Ford, probably Volvo as well) have stated that they don't ever intend to produce a level 3 autonomous car, that they want to go straight from level 2 driving assistance to level 4 cars since expecting a driver to monitor the situation all the time and be able to quickly take over (as level 3 requires) isn't realistic from a safety perspective, many drivers simply won't/can't do it.
Volksempfänger would be damn classy propaganda. But Trump is not classy, never was, and never will be.
I can guarantee you that all of these tractors will have the POSSIBILITY of over-the-air telemetry and software updates within a few years. The question still comes down to paying the support fees and getting the updates or modifications, but the physical act of "waiting for a tech" for software will be a non-issue very shortly, if not already.

Can someone speak definitively about updates from JD? It would really surprise me that JD "doesn't update" their software after the sale. It's probably covered by a service contract you need to keep paying for, but I strongly suspect that they update and patch software for many, many years after the product release.

and well documented, thank you for that ! using it right now.

Though it is for a private project. I'm not sure I will use it on a professional job due to the size of the css. I spend a lot of time importing things and I'm never sure how much weight and runtime complexity is being added.
Indeed. I'm not sure we would have done it if we're realised how much of a pain it was really going to be. I know people running slightly larger businesses (a few employees, turnover in the low millions) who have made similar comments even at their scale. There's certainly a view around that it would be better to simply decline sales to customers in other EU member states, and there was even legal advice being taken on whether this broke other EU rules about discrimination. (The conclusion at that time was that it did not, but obviously take your own legal advice if this is relevant to you.)

To give credit where it's due, the API we're talking about here does aim at one of the significant pain points once you've gone through the hassle of updating your charging, invoicing and reporting systems, which is keeping up with changes for all of those VAT rates. At least once already, a relevant VAT rate has been changed with only one week's notice, which is crazy. Are all businesses really expected to monitor these things on a daily basis, just in case the rate in a country where maybe you don't even have any current customers changes and then someone from that country buys something?

As an aside, if you're selling within the EU, are you sure you're not subject to audit by any tax authority from any EU member state anyway, even if you haven't reported any sales to that country? I haven't checked the exact rules recently, but I remember this was one of the concerns when the new scheme was introduced. In theory, any other tax authority is supposed to contact you via your own national authority under such circumstances, but as I mentioned elsewhere, we know first-hand that this doesn't always happen.
Carlsen himself certainly realizes he would have no chance in a match against the top computer engine. Its effective rating is probably at least 400 Elo above his.

If product owners are given the ability, they will gladly retune the engine software to output more power, and defeat aftertreatment systems, both to the breaking of emissions laws, and the detriment to the environment.

In the long run fake meat will probably become more affordable than better farming practices with the size of our population.
We do know, with essentially 100% certainty. Carlson's elo rating is mid 2800s and the top engines are high 3300s. A 500 pt rating difference implies he has less than a 5% chance of winning a single game, let alone a match.

Plus, he can play against an engine any time he wants. If he could beat them in some magically surprising way, would it make any sense for him to be keeping this amazing skill a secret from the world? No.

'Explainable Artificial Intelligence': Cracking Open the Black Box of AI
The hatred for Ubuntu, Mir, Unity is increasingly irrational and difficult to understand.

Unity seems to be one of the more polished Linux desktops and there are many options, even if one doesn't like Unity or Mir there is zero compulsion to use them. Surely people investing their own time, effort and money to build free software and attract users is good thing?

But what then explains the hoarde of angry 'self appointed community spokespeople' singling out Ubuntu in every online discussion for NIH and duplication of effort.

By the same logic these community spokespeople should be accusing Flatpak of duplication of effort and NIH and haranguing Flatpak developers to join hands with the Snap project which precedes Flatpak. But all quiet on that end. This is a bit too hypocritical and seems to be more about some Redhat supporters seeking control than anything sincere.

How many Redhat, Gnome or Freedesktop projects are being targeted for NIH and duplication of effort the way Ubuntu's projects are.

I've worked at Deere as a contractor. Not on the tractor software as I didn't have access, but I would put most of what I saw as towing the line of over engineered.

There were certainly parts that were exceptionally easy to work with. Many, many, many repos all over the place doing various different things and inside of some of those you would find some very cleanly written code with excellent tests, examples, and documentation. The problem was once those nice little libraries, tools, etc got brought together it became a mess.
True, I'd still start with proper security.
Depending on who you ask, IoT = anything that speaks TCP/IP. Many 'IoT' products can be used without access to the 'public' internet.
I simply shut down. The VATMOSS nonsense ate up all the profits turning a 350 euro VAT filing into a quarterly mess costing upwards of 1000 euros.

The API could be useful if it is guaranteed to be always up-to-date, but there is no such guarantee, and it makes it impossible as it is coded right now to do anything else but to compute a sale that has just happened rather than a sale which happened at a specific point in time (which is how you should compute the VAT). Edge cases around end-of-year and rate changes will cause all kinds of trouble.

VATMOSS is super annoying to put it mildly and disproportionally hurts small players because it does not have a floor below which it is kept simple.

I don't know where you live but in the UK, dogs are (in law) personal property and discounting welfare issues, you can do what you want with them if you're the owner.

Furthermore, farmers can kill your dog (humanly) on his land if it is causing distress to his animals. In law this is a lawful excuse to cause criminal damage. There are all kinds of lawful excuses. For instance, a person (usually a farmer) is free to kill your horse, humanly, if keeping it alive is causing a material financial loss.

So why ask for the country of the seller in the API?

I wondered the same thing. I'm not aware of any circumstances under which it would make a difference that are still affected by MOSS.

BTW that 'demand for money' also happened to me

My sympathies. The Irish department reportedly wasn't the only one to mess up like this, either, though it's the only one I've encountered personally so far. In the UK, it was actually HMRC (our own national tax authority) that sent out messages to affected businesses confirming it was an error.

You can get a lot of MIDI to CV/Gate interfaces today, and some modulars even let you manage presets so you can at least store parameter values. But I think the hands-on experience of playing the instrument is important. Of rewiring it as you go, of having happy accidents when you plug the wrong wire into the right socket.

Even something as seemingly inconsequential as the physical resistance in a knob can make a difference. For instance, I have one synth that has a very light filter cutoff knob and one that has a slow and heavy one. This tiny bit of tactile difference invites different kinds of uses. The light knob invites me to flick it rapidly -- the heavy one doesn't invite that kind of playing so you end up sweeping it more slowly.

I think the best example I've seen was a friend of mine playing a Doepfer Dark Energy synthesizer using a Dark Time sequencer. You can make the sequencer skip and jump by flipping switches to make it repeat a section or restart the sequence etc. So with without changing the pattern at all he made this entire performance just by creatively messing with the timing and playback.

This hadn't really occurred to me when playing similar instruments on a computer before. You would have had to make a very conscious decision to do exactly what he did in the software, but given the physical interface of the sequencer, this came naturally.
