Wow that’s nice! Cloudflare seems like a really nice stack these days.

I’m assuming they do in fact have to proxy the requests to handle path/header re-writes… or is there some magic/clever way to do this without proxying? (That would be cool if so!)

Interesting—thanks for sharing! So does Cloudflare “DNS” basically give you a reverse proxy? If so, that's pretty nice, but is messing up my mental model since that's definitely not DNS.

Do look her up! She translated many many hymns from German into English, I’m sure you’re familiar with some, but it’s easy to not pay as much attention to translators.

You're familiar with Catherine Winkworth, right? Translating poetry set to music hard and she did an excellent job in so many cases.

Oh, I hope you enjoy! For Schalk, I'm fond of Fortunatus New (Sing, My Tongue) and Thine the Amen, and I think Now (words by Jaroslav Vajda) is also good though less to my personal taste. Lutherans have a long history of good music!

I'm very much an amateur here but of 20th c composers, I've appreciated Carl Schalk for (IMO) doing this well. Or to pick another 20th c Lutheran, Paul Manz's E'en so feels to me like a v. good fit between text and tune.

Is this paid for by the supporters of Process Ontology? (Are you planning to post tomorrow about how person events are just fine?)

Hm, okay, that doesn’t sound to me like an apt characterization of traditional or typical evangelicals—definitely not those I met at Biola—but there are lots of subcultures so perhaps we run in different circles. Appreciate the replies!

(For what it's worth, I finished reading Biographia Literaria today, so I'm pretty confused right now about what “imagination” is supposed to be.)

That said... what I've sketched is still very much guided by the attempt to understand what the text and author are themselves saying... whereas it feels like maybe imagination is supposed to play more free? (I can't quite tell, since it's not supposed to be eisegesis.)

and then you also have to think about what Molière wants us to see in this—who does he want us to see as the characters in the right? who in the wrong? who is being wise or foolish? etc. Is this reading with imagination? (To me it's just how I've always read, so maybe I'm not the target audience.)

For example, I've been reading Molière lately, and when you read these plays, you have to think about whether the characters mean what they say or whether they're trying to provoke a reactive or whether they're just hypocrites or just following social expectations, etc...

Maybe I'm just not the target audience, but the examples you give just sounds to me like normal ways of reading—thinking about the tone and the possible things that could be communicated with the same words. One question in my mind: is the proposed reading distinctively for scripture?

Thanks for the replies! I didn't get the impression this was figural, though I'm struggling to see what the distinctive proposal is, so was wondering how it contrasts with other non-flat-footed ways of reading. “Better way to understand the literal” is helpful.

Thanks for sharing! I'm having trouble seeing what the concrete proposal is... is it easy to say how it's situated with respect to other not-flat-footed readings, like broadly figuralist readings or something like Hays' attention to images and illusions?

Somehow despite Google’s track record for killing things, I still have the Google Voice number I got (about 20 years ago) before Google acquired GrandCentral.

Which… doesn’t seem unreasonable. If you love making things by hand and see the oncoming trend toward cheap mechanically made goods that compete with your craft, it’s not unreasonable to start thinking about other possible careers.

It’s a pretty plausible claim, but I’d be a bit more wary than this of social science papers that claim to confirm your priors (and this one isn’t even peer reviewed as far as I can tell)

I’m on the fence about whether one ought to obey the official style guide for pandas (always “pandas”, even at the beginning of a sentence).
