New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

@chris.manson.ie's herculean efforts are why vite landed in 6.8 🎉 Shipping proper (deprecations, CLIs, docs, tutorials, etc), is A TON of work, and the community helped get us there - esp on the docs and tutorials side - thank you to all who submitted a PR, opened an issue, or chatted in Discord!!

Ember.js 6.8 release looks like some nice steps forward. Great to have the equivalent of tracked-builtins now, well, built-in! blog.emberjs.com/ember-releas...

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

So exhausting..

Democrats should not and cannot fund the government without securing a statutory provision reversing the Supreme Court and banning ICE from questioning, detaining, or attacking Hispanic and Latino Americans on the basis of their ethnicity alone.

STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of “emergency.” There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs. There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown. And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.

NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby. This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday). What the hell is happening to the US? (🎥 Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff, Washington Post)

⚡️ We launched the general ⚡️ ticket sale⚡️ for the San Francisco Ruby Conference on November 19-20! Get yours at lu.ma/sfrubyconf2025 The full program is live on sfruby.com/speakers and it is 🔥exceptional🔥. Friends, help us share the message!

this headline is complete fucking horseshit btw, this is what he actually said

It’s disgusting what Trump is doing to our country.

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

a woman just trying to get home gets shot

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

One more for the "WTF" quota... This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in *February* when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week. "It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded—super crowded." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I published a new post about my personal coding workflow with AI coding assistants and an approach to making it sustainable. Yeah, I used the phrase "vibe coding." It's a little cringe, but it's the phrase people are using, in my experience. 🤷

Hands Off! A bunch of big organizations (50501, Women’s March, MoveOn, Indivisible, Hands Off) are coming together on April 5 for a day of nationwide action & protest against the Trump regime. “If we don’t fight now, there won’t be anything left to save.” [kottke.org]

Peter Marks has been a constant force for good at FDA and this is beyond worrisome. It’s devastating news. wapo.st/4j31DJa

I've been moved to post on socials ... by a codemod! Ember's template-tag-codemod did a fantastic job moving all my components to template-tag but what _really_ wow'd me is polish provided by the [merge-history](github.com/embroider-bu...) command. #emberjs

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

“If the government thinks a non-criminal migrant presents a threat then they can kick them out of the country but they cannot unilaterally decide that their untested suspicions justify prison time in another country.” abovethelaw.com/2025/03/trum...

This is terrifying. Grabbed on the street and spirited away without any process for “views.”

This is a bit out of order... but... *here we go!* Just as far as perf goes, Ember handles mass updates quite a bit better (imagine updating data in a graph or table, for example).

Taking a little break from my social media break to remind everyone that you must be registered with a party to vote in the mayoral primaries, and the deadline to do that is Friday. We can still all tell Eric Adams to get f'ed if the corrupt feds won't and Hochul dithers about removal.

This is evil. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

Due to the freeze on credit card use, my laboratory (in the FDA) risks losing the contents of our liquid nitrogen tanks which store INVALUABLE samples-they cannot be replaced, so they are literally priceless, and reflect about 50 years worth of research.

A friend of mine worked as US Aid for a number of years, traveling the world doing crucial life saving work. She sent me this link that puts the sudden, illegal stoppage in stark numbers. Can I ask as many of you you out there as possible to spread this link around? www.usaidstopwork.com

If anybody is worried about this, I will gladly play the role of "dude with the red string on the cork board" so you look sane by comparison. Because the reality is the richest person in the world is a nazi who snuck in at midnight to steal every American's data so he could shut down the government.

Congratulations to Thailand, where Marriage Equality went into effect this week! #LoveIsLove

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want walkable streets.

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

🎁 Ember v6 is released! As always, all available features are available in 5.x. If you're deprecation free, v6 is effectively non-breaking. Read about it here: blog.emberjs.com/emb...

Yesterday we got the @emberjs.com RFC that will make @vite.dev the default build system for new apps accepted 🎉🎊🎉 We now have a plan that is all agreed and we just need to make it happen 💪 This is a great holiday OSS present for me 🎁🎄😍🐹

Who is doing the best thinking about how human computer interfaces change if AI proliferates?

OH: "I feel like that line gets executed in development, I would be OK with intrusive reporting, such as someone ringing by doorbell and delivering a singing telegram of the stack trace."

@pubspeak.bsky.social welcome to Bluesky!

key is always a good tool. Reminds the though that one of the overlooked benefits of WarpDrive over roll-your own data is stable references for objects and arrays. I think that's one of the reasons a lot of apps never end up needing to reach for key, the default (identity) just always seem to work

I updated the README for ember-modal-dialog to address the current status of development and maintenance for this addon. TL;DR it's not needed anymore -- we recommend you embrace the `dialog` element and floating-ui instead.

I have to admit, I’m excited about `background-clip: border-area` (and the *finally* fully-supported `background-clip: text`)! It feels like it’s been a long time since we got something new in #CSS that lets us more easily create interesting graphic design. webkit.org/blog/16214/b...

I had vscode's copilot write a randomColor function. I noticed it failed to pad the hex output. So I asked copilot to review the code it wrote (without prompting it about the issue I noticed). It found the bug and proposed a fix. I guess it was... just not trying that hard on its first pass?

We have hired lawyers and we have a draft of the trademark cancellation petition ready (for those who don't know about this, see javascript.tm)

If you are new to Ember or not sure what the point is of using a `key` with `{{#each ...}}`, check this in-the-wild example: github.com/cardstack/bo...

Ruby Video (www.rubyvideo.dev), the website with the mission to index all Ruby conferences, has a nice feel to it. Great to see all the talks from GORUCO there!
