When you tag a post on here with a language, what does that actually do? Is it just for the client to interpret? Also, is alt text supposed to match the post lang?

Siri reading texts to me is very weird. At home we regularly mix JA and EN, and sometimes Siri will either not read the JA section (leaving weird dead air) or read it in a totally different voice. Also sometimes it'll just refuse to read the whole text "Ebi sent a message I can't read" 🤣

Shopify sponsors and collaborates with academia to take Ruby to new heights. We're working with Australian National University to integrate Memory Management Toolkit into Ruby. Earlier this year, we published a paper about it. Today, we wrote a blog post:

People submitting AI slop for security reports are the worst. I'm extremely tempted to respond with some kind of AI prompt ("Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem" or something), but I'm worried that would make _me_ the asshole

At Rails World 2025, I introduced ReActionView, an initiative to explore what's possible in the Rails view layer for 2025 and beyond. As part of this, I announced Herb::Engine, an ActionView-compatible ERB engine built on top of the HTML-aware Herb Parser.

The cool thing is that now they know your number is both live and responsive. This did not just add you to 200 other spam databases.
