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 …

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…

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 f…

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 Ri…

What sort of faulty logic is this? HK/TW are wrecked culturally in their own means, and therefore the Cultural Revolution has not damaged Chinese culture? Sounds like you just want…

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 4cha…

Does GCC have a comparable JIT backend?

>a) Someone thinks so many people can be divided into just two groups Ah, but they all look the same! Surely dividing them up into two groups is already doing them a favour. >b) th…

I heard Seaweed is very good at this. https://github.com/seaweedchan

I wasn't aware that Safari is still a widely used browser. What are the advantages of using Safari over, say, Firefox or Chrome?

It's wonderful that the Mac ecosystem is one of these unique computing communities where things that are normally taken as a standard are further refined into a professional level …

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 protecti…

>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…

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.

How dare you bring sense into this debate and interrupt the LLVM/Clang circlejerk? GCC considered harmful and deprecated! Clang is our only saviour, and these cherry-picked benchma…

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.
