celebril

Oh I've been to Tridentine masses. I'm a church organist. I literally "play" a part in liturgies.

I don't really see that much of a difference to be honest. A lot of people make a big fuss out of the details but the shape of the liturgy as a whole is practically the same.

It's only stylish because of the imagined qualities of prestige vested in a language you're not fluent in. It's the same as how you get English-speaking people realising how cringe-inducing anime dialogue really is when they hear it in English instead of Japanese, and then championing "the only REAL way of consuming anime is in Japanese dub!", not realising the Japanese used in that is also extremely cringey.

People finding the mass somehow less holy and sacramental when celebrated in their native tongue need to reflect on their own perspectives on what makes something holy.

A bit of correction: the version you'll most likely see being used across the Church of England nowadays is NRSV. It's the scholarly translation.

NIV is the preferred translation for the low-church side, the evangelicals, so definitely won't be used by the bells-and-smells high church crowd. KJV is preferred by a niche who also prefers the Book of Common Prayer liturgy over Common Worship. Usually this is either an older population, a certain ethnic subgroup with calcified traditions, or old-school low church folks (so not modern evangelicals) who prefer the old ways and even the Thirty-Nine Articles.

That's... really anachronistic.

The Death of the Author came about in 1967, even New Criticism, which foreshadowed Death, came about only at the earliest the 1930s-40s, after IA Richards published his Practical Criticism.

Shelley wrote in the Romantic period, when the artist's personal "genius" was paramount as a conduit to the "sublime". Saying that he somehow whipped up a criticism of "author as the arbiter of meaning" in what is practically a product of a friendly poetry contest is plainly absurd.

Strangely you also attributed this anachronistic reading to Shelley, making it somehow the author's intent to be counter-author-intent. Just... why?

This is not a new idea. Playing with the boundaries of presentation in literature is just a subset of post-modernist lit.

If you want a prime example, OP, you should look into 4chan /lit/'s massively collaboratively written post-ironic tome "Hypersphere"[1]. It's the epitome of this sort of hyperliterature.

And it's still faster than PCs. :)

No mention of Steve Jobs?

Disappointed.

Everybody knows that Apple's OS X is the most advanced and secure OS.

If Steve Jobs isn't one of the people who are responsible for protecting the Internet I don't know who else is.

>bigger != better

It's hard to ignore the hint of irony here when it's the Westerners' turn to tout this line.

A second-hand Thinkpad.

>MIUI, which is like an iOS themed android

I hear this line getting trotted around a lot, mostly from people who have never used MIUI themselves.

MIUI is an "iOS-themed Android" as much as Ubuntu's Unity is an "OS X-themed Linux DE".

I never thought I'd live to see the day the word "mansplaining" is used on Hacker News unironically.

There's a certain beauty in the ideograph system: you may not know how to pronounce the characters, but you could figure out a meaning out of it.

It's bad because it's not as hip and cool as LLVM's offering.

cat-v.org, the Plan9 crowd, and Uriel specially have always been utter jokes.

By that logic MSDOS is less harmful than Plan9.

You've missed the point of Uriel. Suckless alternatives aren't meant to be more practical than harmful software.

You do know Uriel has been dead for quite a while now?

Brendan Eich is a homophobe and whoever links to his videos are complicit in his bigotry.

All his opinions should be discarded.

One thing I'd like to see implemented is that for those upgrading, instead of downloading each package and wasting Canonical's bandwidth, the APT-and-UI-glue can utilise torrent to save and speed up the whole process.

Not all monetisation is "Shilling", floor_.

If people could stop being so paranoid about nothing (the data is anonimised before sent for goodness' sake) then technology can advance much easier and quicker.

Or you can just use Zsh, which is superior in any way to Bash. ;)

Solution: write everything in Assembly.

Wow, a wall of text. But all I can read is a seriously problematic and classic case of mansplaining.

Seriously, Hacker News can be so misogynistic at times it's not even funny.

I see you're still perceiving Japanese culture through your native Western lenses.

Well done on wasting those 16 years understanding nothing but the superficial.

Oh great, now there's a double whammy 40 MB + 40 MB for the stupid MqttPushService that is run twice by the Facebook and the Facebook Messenger apps.

Might as well not use Facebook on this 512 MB device. Why can't Facebook just implement push via GCM without sucking all the memory and wakelocks itself?

First C-plus-Equality, now this.

It's growing increasingly apparent that GitHub is not about open hosting, but a company that has no spines and a tendency towards political self-censorship.

This is excellent news. It's amazing to see the driver situation of Linux progressing so quickly these days.

UNIX certification means nothing if the utils are intentionally outdated and incompatible with the de facto UNIX-like implementation due to petty licensing concerns.

At the end of the day, whether some script works is the issue, not a UNIX branding.

Why doesn't Apple just ship with standard GNU utils?

They are the de facto standard. Having the need to compile all these basic stuff for any scripting to be portable is a nightmare.
