Not all political candidates seek power, money, or status.

Some might just want parliament to be more diverse than one party making up more than two-thirds of it, and having the power to push through constitutional changes any time they want.

Aspiring politicians who join the PAP hoping to steer it from within probably haven't thought about how they're subject to the party whip [1], and how nobody has disobeyed the whip since Tan Cheng Bock.

Assailant at London Bridge fatally shot by police in ‘terrorist incident’
> Do Phasors ever miss?

They miss, and they miss a lot. Firefights in Star Trek look mostly like firefights everywhere else - beams and bolts flying through the air, and every now and then someone gets hit.

One interesting aspect is that TNG-era phasers used by protagonists don't even look like practical weapons. I read somewhere that this was intentional design decision - Starfleet was supposed to be about peace and exploration, so they didn't want the protagonists carrying something recognizable as a gun. Star Trek back-tracked a bit from that later on, with introduction of phaser rifles that look not unlike something you could really see on a battlefield of the future. But back to the TNG phasers - because they're shaped more like a flat flashlight than a gun, they really must be tough to aim. I mean, try taking a laser pointer and hitting something a couple meters away from you with the first click of the button. It's hard. In my headcanon, phasers must run some sophisticated auto-targeting systems - otherwise, the feats of accuracy seen on the screen would be impossible.

I find that it usually falls down to a 'supra'/'infra' (or meta/within) dichotomy:

- the 'supra-comments' are essentially used as "section headers", "block title / description", i.e. structural markers. It's thus logical to want them standing out, like titles in a text document or section borders in a spreadsheet.

- the 'infra-comments' are the "explicited subtext", "block/line anotation", i.e. substantive but secondary content (usually discussion about the code, which may also be externalized to a spec doc). These are naturally dimmed, because they sit beneath or outside the primary substance, the code (inline or aside, as in text documents and web pages, or even hidden behind a toggle).

In that regard, languages with two syntaxes for comments (eg. block "/* ... */" and end-of-line "// ...") may be formatted by editors respectively "standing out" and "dimmed", giving this two-level comment schema to the developer.

I personally think the 'supra-comment' / structural approach is detrimental to readability (longer, bloat, to me it's ASCII art however you want to spin it), and that problem should be solved by organizing code better (block order, files), choosing more self-explanatory names for everything, and having proper external documentation (however succint, it's not optional and can't be substituted by comments).
It doesn't look like you completely agree, you kept the code blocks readable rather then flipping their styles like the author.

Personally, I tweaked the default syntax coloring to deemphasise only punctuation (e.g. parentheses), and emphasise comments (for the reason outlined in the article). I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to deemphasize keywords - they often imply change in the evaluation semantics, so it's good to be able to spot them easily when scanning.

I came to the conclusion about comments about a year ago for a completely different reason ... though, ultimately, ended up saving me in the way he mentioned:

In my IDE, comments are bolded, italicized and red with a dashed underline and a mark on the scrollbar (thanks Rider). It's extreme, but it works perfectly with my code and commenting style. Doc comments are not treated this way, only inline comments, of which you may find one or two in an entire project of mine. I did away with non-doc comments a long while ago, and originally set this style in order to have any I'd missed stand out and "be ugly" so that I'd move the comments into a "remarks" section of the doc comments. The side-effect, though, is that when I'd run into a comment that was a "here be dragons", it'd stand out so strongly that you couldn't miss the warning.

So I left it that way for good.
It depends on how invested you are in Mac vs. using Mac as a friendly way to get access to a Unix-like toolchain. I've always had my foot in both platforms due to clients... it's generally not that big of a deal. But, I do most of my open source toolchain work in Linux VMs. In that respect, the Windows 10 terminals have improved alot.

MacOS is, in my opinion, a neglected and quasi-orphaned platform, they are keeping the lights on only and depending on the ecosystem/services friction to keep the product going. My "daily driver" PC is a no-longer-mobile Macbook Pro with an ancient Dell USB keyboard. But I invest as little time as possible into anything that is Mac-only, as Apple is a harsh mistress.

The old reasons for using MacBooks are less relevant. The market is very different than 2008-12, when Apple was 10x better at 1.5x the cost. Shitty corporate laptops aside, if you look at some of the newer HP, Dell and Microsoft devices that are in the $1,500-2,000 range, they are now meet or exceed the Apple lineup from a quality and engineering perspective.
> I almost hate numbers and symbols without (the explanatory) words/paragraphs.

The numbers and symbols only make sense in the context of some specific language game. If you work in a domain a lot, then repeated sequences of symbols and conventional naming of variables hints what language game you're playing. Without that, everyone needs the explanatory words/paragraphs.

> Isn't it easier for everyone to remember/visualize concepts and then deriving the formula than trying to remember the exact formula?

Yes. There's an interesting notion of a "recovery procedure" in Borovik's "Mathematics Under the Microscope" where he points out that mathematicians don't remember formulas and theorems, they remember simple procedures that recover them.
So.. I have to say, I think you are right.

I do eat meat. And I understand where it comes from.

I guess part of me was thinking why could not they just relocate the other foxes like 500 miles away and let them live. Russia (even without USSR) still has like 11 time zones of land. It is enormous.

Perhaps, for a moment, I assumed that I had a know-how and was asked to be a 'moral authority', 'ethics luminary' and a re-born principles activist (especially when it affects others, but not me)

I am probably not the only one who fell into that mind set, even momentarily.

But @saya-jin you are right,

there is nothing that indicated that animals were tortured, and I should not have judged how they were 'culled'.

Not sure I agree with that. The difference between CNN and Fox, say, is far larger than the difference between the "big three" was back in, say, the 1970s (the time of Vietnam, and the US government trying very hard to paint a world that was different from reality). What we have now is the major media trying to paint a world, rather than just report it. In any given instance, that's not necessarily "fake news". But by what you choose to cover and what you choose to ignore, you can paint a very different picture. What you say is still true, but it doesn't add up to the truth. It presents a distorted picture of the world.
It’s not going to happen; even if you could run your own browser engine on iOS this requires deep hooks into system calls and Mach messages which isn’t really something that I would see Apple letting you do.
I don't think this comes without a long term cost. Among other things, some studies with pretty sound methodology have shown that people are very bad at self-estimating their own impairment from sleep-deprivation. It's likely worse than you think it is.

Sorry, I really don't follow the analogy. If there were such a thing as a public countries and private countries, within the territory of the US, such that the wealthy could opt to be governed by a private government while the poor had to be subjected to the public government, then perhaps an analogy could be made along these lines.

By the way, moving countries is surprisingly rare and quite difficult to do, even when times are tough in your home country.
