Tomorrow, Gluon will release JavaFX 26 builds. I'm very proud of our team, and the whole JavaFX community, for the great work that has been done since we started working on JavaFX 11. Out of nostalgy, I was reading an old blog post: https://gluonhq.com/javafx-11-release-and-support-plans/
About 8 years ago, not many believed that we would continue and succeed. But we didn't give up.

JavaFX 11 Release and Support Plans - Gluon

A number of things have happened since it was announced that JavaFX will be offered as a component separate from the core JDK. Most importantly, a mirror of the OpenJFX repository has been created on GitHub, and a number of new developers have arrived to increase development efforts.

I think that Lang's book "Cheating Lessons" (https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/9780674724631), which looks at the research on _why_ students cheat, now has a lot to offer people who are thinking about AI in education - it was written before LLMs hit the scene, but its discussion of misaligned incentives, feedback loops, and the social positioning of actions is thought-provoking.

The smaller the readable codes, the greater the data density.

"If the Minneapolis Police Department didn’t kill anyone in a year of active policing, and my combat unit didn’t kill anyone in over a year of war, Minnesotans — and all Americans — are right to ask why ICE and the Border Patrol have killed two people in my state in two weeks."

As A Veteran Combat Soldier, I've Noticed 1 Especially Sinister Thing About ICE That Needs To Be Called Out

"When armed agents operate beyond the reach of law, they are no longer public servants. They are something else entirely."

Incredible interview with Minneapolis city councilman Soren Stevenson who lost an eye to a "rubber" bullet shot at him by MPD during the Goerge Floyd protests.

"Truly, I see this as a moment when we are deciding right here in Minneapolis—in this country—are we going to have a democracy going forward, or are we not? The stakes are no greater and no smaller than that."

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

Qasim Rashid, Esq.Jan 23

Jonathan Ross—the ICE fascist who killed Renee Good—is an 18-year ICE veteran, firearms instructor, & active shooter trainer.

The people claiming "ICE needs more training" are missing the point. Ross's 2 DECADES of training IS what led him to execute Good. ICE Training IS the problem. More money for more ICE training results in more trained killers.

The problem with fascists isn't that they're poorly trained, it's that they're fascists. You don't train fascists, you abolish them. Abolish ICE.

We should all be furious on behalf of this young man. Abolish ICE.
