Not anymore. In 2018, the V8 surpassed the Ecoboost in marketshare, 52% to 48%. If fleet sales were removed, then the V8 market share would probably climb a bit further.

The small engine Mustangs have always been derided as non-Mustangs. It shouldn't be surprising that, as coupes become less mainstream, the share of the smaller engine declines. The bulk of Mustang buyers anymore are old men.

Plus, there's the issue that, speccing a ecoboost Mustang with some performance goodies puts it within spitting distance of a 5.0. The Ecoboost HPP is like $32k and the "performance" upgrades for systems like the brakes are essentially base GT take-offs. This makes the $37k GT a really good deal in comparison.

Factoring in depreciation, the GT is a better deal. Fuel costs are marginal since you can run the GT on 87 with almost no power loss while the Eco is a dog without 93 octane. And, for me at least, the GT is cheaper to insure (by like $3) than an Eco. Add in low-interest, long-term loans and the monthly cost difference is minimal as well.

Show HN: Annotate Images and Scans with BIO-Scheme Using Konfuzio SDK
Retraining NLP models, like flair, often require the data structure to be in the BIO scheme. For scanned documents or images, we convert visual annotations to the BIO scheme using OCR, we transform the bounding box to the start and end offsets of each annotation and its label. In the new release of our SDK, this conversion can be done using the method get_text_in_bio_scheme() of the Document class.

That's not how it works, TOK_* represent whole elements, the element may happen to be a single character, but it can be a word. It would be highly confusing to pass single characters to expect() as you wouldn't know at first sight whether it expects a simple character or an element. The TOK_* could as well be assigned a random number as you say in your following sentence. And they were until yesterday :-) I guess it is easier to debug with mnemonic characters.

Fun fact: propaganda used to be a morally neutral term [0], which we now call "public relations", after the word took on connotations with Nazis and Soviets. Everyone who is advocating for a policy, moral position, etc., is putting out "propaganda"; by any objective measure, MLK and Thomas Paine were extremely effective propagandists, and we (rightly) celebrate them for it.

The real question is, what one is advocating for, and whether one does so honestly. And while there are certainly circumstances for justified violence, "antiwar" seems like a pretty good thing to advocate for, all else being equal. And I fail see any blatant dishonesty or bad faith in this piece, whatever the shortcomings might be of The Guardian or the mainstream press in general.

Back in the late 1940s through the early '60s many small shops and general stores in North America had public tube-tester boxes, along with a supply of the most common replacements, so folks could save a lot on upkeep costs. For those uncomfortable with reaching into what were usually chassis-grounded televisions and radios, complete with their low-level shocks, hum, and that special vibration on the fingers when touching the metal even when turned off or unplugged, having a technician do all that for them was a necessity. Clearly a home repair service would need to charge for that value-added work. Where TV repair folks made their big bucks was in bringing the TV set into the shop for a new flyback transformer or picture tube and not on simply replacing chassis tubes.

MIDI can capture the meaningful information about a performance of a work. It cannot work back from that and present the original sheet music.

I think the problem of "energy" is a tough one to solve because often what we mean by "energy" isn't what we think. I find it's easier to think about what we're trying to do. If my goal is to write more quality code, then this is actually a function of more than just my energy.

The problem is that the line between these factors is somewhat blurred. Energy influences focus, and motivation influences both focus and energy. Lack of knowledge can sometimes feel like lack of focus. etc.

- Knowledge
- Energy
- Focus
- Motivation

The last one, motivation, is the biggest wild card for me. It can be the source of huge productivity. When I feel motivated, it's almost like a 2x or 3x modifier to energy and focus.

There are days when I have energy, and I can focus, but I just don't feel motivated to work on programming... even if, I want to. I often describe this as, "I want to want to work". In other words, I want to work, but I'm just not feeling it at all. I'll generally read a book or something in those instances.
There's a glaring omission in that list of principles at the end of the article: don't use DNS for load balancing. Full stop, end of story. DNS load balancing brings nothing but hurt and despair where other methods can solve it more easily and more robustly. Even in 2007.

The title gave the problem away without even having to read the article: it's so common that deployments fail depending on DNS load balancing that it's often easiest to just say "oh, it must be DNS" and be proven right more often than not.

I'm also puzzled by their note about RFC3484, which specifies the behavior for default address selection in the case of IPv6-only or IPv6/IPv4 dual stack or addressed hosts. The article really has nothing to do with that RFC in a pure-v4 environment. Most home internet subscribers in 2007 would be using pure v4 so why bring up something that's written for v6? Though perhaps Windows networking is just that pathological because this is just such a bizarre way of selecting a default address.

It of course would depend on what roles and geographies you include, but from personal anecdata, I'd say that about 50% of developers I've worked with have taken 'some' university-level maths. And amongst these, there's of course significance variance in backgrounds. Again from anecdata, the best at applying maths to programming are physics majors, who seem to often recognize that a software system exhibits some dynamics, and that they could find (or build) some relatively simple model that would explain and predict that behavior.

Usually the implementation of the component storage does much the same at runtime though so archetype storages are created and removed as needed.

Same boat. I have no problem with the price if it provides value for that price. Currently I'm paying:

I just don't see how this is /that/ much better than the competition (Firefox + extensions) or makes my life easier in any significant way.

At current prices, for $15/month you need to provide some serious value because most people will do the direct comparison to other subscriptions they are familiar with.

No more scope creep, i.e. if it is getting bigger than what Pico-8 can support, perhaps I am not thinking straight and focusing on the wrong part.

Although it is a double-edged sword, but my heartfelt experience is that embracing and accepting limitations is what constitutes progress.

China ready for ‘friendly relations’ with the Taliban
> When trump cut off travel to China he was called xenophobic, and then later it was said that he didn't act soon enough.

In this particular case, those statements aren’t precisely contradictory.

The travel ban was criticized because it was wholly inadequate for the purposes of preventing infected persons from entering the country, as American citizens (and their immediate (?) family IIRC) could enter freely. “Xenophobic” might have arisen out of the targeting of foreigners while leaving Americans alone, though I offer no opinion as to whether that is an accurate label.

Even if the ban were effective, it was too late since IIRC there were already cases in the US, so that criticism is accurate unless I am remembering incorrectly.
How do you know that they are the ones who are being irrational here, and not you?

This is a serious question. We should always challenge our preconceptions. To take your examples:

1. Traditional Judeo-Christian religions all claim we should believe because of claims made in holy books of questionable provenance, held by primitive people who believed things like (for example) disease being caused by demons. What rational reason is there for believing these holy books to be particularly truthful? (I was careful to not include Buddhism, whose basis is in experiences that people have while in altered states of consciousness from meditation.)

2. The shortcomings of libertarianism involve various tragedies of the commons. (My favorite book on this being, The Logic of Collective Action.) However the evidence in favor of most government interventions is rather weak. And the evidence is very strong that well-intended government interventions predictably will, after regulatory capture, wind creating severe problems of their own. How do you know that the interventions which you like will actually lead to good results? (Note, both major US parties are uneasy coalitions of convenience kept together through the only electoral realities of winner takes all. On the left, big labor and environmentalism are also uncomfortable bedfellows.)

3. To the extent that the observer is described by quantum mechanics, many-worlds is provably a correct description of the process of observation. In the absence of concrete evidence that quantum mechanics breaks down for observers like us, what rational reason is there to advocate for any other interpretation? (The fact that it completely violates our preconceptions about how the world should work is an emotional argument, not a rational one.)
Yup, should definitely improve that so it's automatic. Thanks for reporting!
> With the Mustang and the F-150 Lightning I think Ford is in a pretty good position to become the leader in the EV space.

I think a lot of this is the result of some marketing and memery. In fact I went through that process, and decided on a BEV crossover, and the Model Y beats the Mach-E handily on basically every non-subjective metric but price. And it's really not that close.

Ford has done a good job of digging themselves out of a huge hole, and have a decently competetive car in the market. And it's selling well enough. But Tesla is moving like an order of magnitude more vehicles into that space, has their factories running at capacity and is in the process of tripling their production bandwidth (Gigafactory Shanghai is still ramping, and Berlin and Austin seem to be on track to go online this year). It's pretty clear who the leader is.
"in math, there’s a lot of tacit agreement and assumptions that go on. Lots of shortcuts and conventions. So if you’re not steeped in that culture, it all looks like black magic to you." "The text will talk vaguely about an idea and then there will be a formula with all kinds of Greek letters, and no explanation of what those symbols mean. If you aren’t already familiar with them, you don’t stand a chance."

This issue has been bothering me for years. In a typical math forumla you find on wikipedia, there are many unnecessary symbols included + really critical things are left vague.
I feel like mathematicians are at fault here. They should clean up their shit, maybe write these equations as code. When I translate one of these equations into code its always much much shorter, and it has the benefit of being 100% deterministic.
