Thirty years later, JavaScript is the glue that holds the interactive web together, warts and all ... That name has been a source of confusion for three decades. It was a marketing decision meant to capitalize on the buzz around Java at the time. The 1995 press release prominently positioned JavaScript as a complement to Java, with the former handling small client-side tasks while Java powered larger enterprise applications. Bill Joy ... said at the time: “JavaScript will be the most effective method to connect HTML-based content to Java applets.” ... Confusion about its relationship to Java continues: The two languages share a name, some syntax conventions, and virtually nothing else. Java was developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems using static typing and class-based objects. JavaScript uses dynamic typing and prototype-based inheritance ... Perhaps the biggest irony of all is that Java applets largely vanished from browsers years ago, but JavaScript dominates.

Fran Sans Essay — Emily Sneddon
[https://emilysneddon.com/fran-sans-essay]
[heavily illustrated with images][via:"San Francisco has a new font. It was inspired by an old Muni streetcar"https://www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/article/muni-train-san-francisco-21188933.phphttps://archive.ph/WhVT7 ]"Fran Sans is a display font in every sense of the term. It’s an interpretation of the destination displays found on some of the light rail vehicles that service the city of San Francisco.I say some because destination displays aren’t consistently used across the city’s transit system. In fact, SF has an unusually high number of independent public transit agencies. Unlike New York, Chicago or L.A., which each have one, maybe two, San Francisco and the greater Bay Area have over two dozen. Each agency, with its own models of buses and trains, use different destination displays, creating an eclectic patchwork of typography across the city.Among them, one display in particular has always stood out to me: the LCD panel displays inside Muni’s Breda Light Rail Vehicles. I remember first noticing them on a Saturday in October on the N-Judah, heading to the Outer Sunset for a shrimp hoagie. This context is important, as anyone who’s spent an October weekend in SF knows this is the optimal vibe to really take in the beauty of the city. What caught my eye was how the displays look mechanical and yet distinctly personal. Constructed on a 3×5 grid, the characters are made up of geometric modules: squares, quarter-circles, and angled forms. Combined, these modules create imperfect, almost primitive letterforms, revealing a utility and charm that feels distinctly like the San Francisco I’ve come to know.This balance of utility and charm seems to show up everywhere in San Francisco and its history. The Golden Gate’s “International Orange” started as nothing more than a rust-proof primer, yet is now the city’s defining colour. The Painted Ladies became multicoloured icons after the 1960s Colourist movement covered decades of grey paint. Even the steepness of the streets was once an oversight in city planning but has since been romanticised in films and on postcards. So perhaps it is unsurprising that I would find this same utility and charm in a place as small and functional as a train sign.To learn more about these displays, I visited the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s (SFMTA) Electronics Shop at Balboa Park. There, technician Armando Lumbad had set up one of the signs. They each feature one large LCD panel which displays the line name, and twenty-four smaller ones to display the destination. The loose spacing of the letters and fluorescent backlighting gives the sign a raw, analogue quality. Modern LED dot-matrix displays are far more efficient and flexible, but to me, they lack the awkwardness that makes these Breda signs so delightful.Armando showed me how the signs work. He handed me a printed matrix table listing every line and destination, each paired with a three-digit code. On route, train operators punch the code into a control panel at the back of the display, and the LCD blocks light on specific segments of the grid to build each letter. I picked code 119, and Armando entered it for me. A few seconds later the panels revealed my own stop: the N-Judah at Church & Duboce. There in the workshop, devoid of the context of the trains and the commute, the display looked almost monolithic, or sculptural, and I have since fantasised whether it would be possible to ship one of these home to Australia.Looking inside of the display, I found labels identifying the make and model. The signs were designed and manufactured by Trans-Lite, Inc., a company based in Milford, Connecticut that specialised in transport signage from 1959 until its acquisition by the Nordic firm Teknoware in 2012. After lots of amateur detective work, and with the help from an anonymous Reddit user in a Connecticut community group, I was connected with Gary Wallberg, Senior Engineer at Trans-Lite and the person responsible for the design of these very signs back in 1999.Learning that the alphabet came from an engineer really explains its temperament and why I was drawn to it in the first place. The signs were designed for sufficiency: fixed segments, fixed grid, and no extras. Characters were created only as destinations required them, while other characters, like the Q, X, and much of the punctuation, were never programmed into the signs. In reducing everything to its bare essentials, somehow character emerged, and it’s what inspired me to design Fran Sans.I shared some initial drawings with Dave Foster of Foster Type who encouraged me to get the font software Glyphs and turn it into my first working font. From there, I broke down the anatomy of the letters into modules, then used them like Lego to build out a full set: uppercase A–Z, numerals, core punctuation. Some glyphs remain unsolved in this first version, for example the standard @ symbol refuses to squeeze politely into the 3×5 logic. Lowercase remains a question for the future, and would likely mean reconsidering the grid. But, as with the displays themselves, I am judging Fran Sans as sufficient for now.Getting up close to these signs, you’ll notice Fran Sans’ gridlines are simplified even from its real‑life muse, but my hope is that its character remains. Specifically: the N and the zero, where the unusually thick diagonals close in on the counters; and the Z and 7, whose diagonals can feel uncomfortably thin. I’ve also noticed the centre of the M can scale strangely and read like an H at small sizes, but in fairness, this type was never designed for the kind of technical detail so many monospaced fonts aim for. Throughout the process I tried to protect these unorthodox moments, because to me, they determined the success of this interpretation.Fran Sans comes in three styles: Solid, Tile, and Panel, each building in visual complexity. The decision to include variations, particularly the Solid style, was inspired by my time working at Christopher Doyle & Co. There, we worked with Bell Shakespeare, Australia’s national theatre company dedicated to the works of William Shakespeare. The equity of the Bell Shakespeare brand lies in its typography, which is a beautiful custom typeface called Hotspur, designed and produced by none other than Dave Foster.Often, brand fonts are chosen or designed to convey a single feeling. Maybe it’s warmth and friendliness, or a sense of tech and innovation. But what I’ve always loved about the Bell typeface is how one weight could serve both Shakespeare’s comedies and tragedies, simply by shifting scale, spacing, or alignment. Hotspur has the gravity to carry the darkness of Titus Andronicus and the roundness to convey the humour of Much Ado About Nothing. And while Fran Sans Solid is technically no Hotspur, I wanted it to share that same versatility.Further inspiration for Fran Sans came from the Letterform Archive, the world’s leading typography archive, based in San Francisco. Librarian and archivist Kate Long Stellar thoughtfully curated a research visit filled with modular typography spanning most of the past century. On the table were two pieces that had a significant impact on Fran Sans and are now personal must-sees at the archive. First, Joan Trochut’s Tipo Veloz “Fast Type” (1942) was created during the Second World War when resources were scarce. Tipo Veloz gave printers the ability to draw with type, rearranging modular pieces to form letters, ornaments and even illustrations.Second, Zuzana Licko’s process work for Lo-Res (1985), an Emigre typeface, opened new ways of thinking about how ideas move between the physical and the digital and then back again. Seeing how Lo-Res was documented through iterations and variations gave the typeface a depth and richness that changed my understanding of how fonts are built. At some point I want to explore physical applications for Fran Sans out of respect for its origins, since it is impossible to fully capture the display’s charm on screen.Back at the SFMTA, Armando told me the Breda vehicles are being replaced, and with them their destination displays will be swapped for newer LED dot-matrix units that are more efficient and easier to maintain. By the end of 2025 the signs that inspired Fran Sans will disappear from the city, taking with them a small but distinctive part of the city’s voice. That feels like a real loss. San Francisco is always reinventing itself, yet its charm lies in how much of its history still shows through. My hope is that Fran Sans can inspire a deeper appreciation for the imperfections that give our lives and our cities character. Life is so rich when ease and efficiency are not the measure.For commercial and non-commercial use of FRAN SANS, please get in touch: emily@emilysneddon.comWITH THANKSDave Foster, for being my go-to at every stage of this project.Maria Doreuli, for thoughtfully reviewing Fran Sans.Maddy Carrucan, for the words that always keep me dreamy.Jeremy Menzies, for the photography of the Breda vehicles.Kate Long Stellar, for curating a research visit on modular typography.Angie Wang, for suggesting it and helping to make it happen.Vasiliy Tsurkan, for inviting me into to the SFMTA workshop.Armando Lumbad, for maintaining the signs that I love so much.Rick Laubscher, for putting me in touch with the SFMTA.William Maley Jr, for opening up the TRANS-LITE, INC. archives.Gary Wallberg, for designing and engineering the original signs.Gregory Wallberg, for responding to a very suspicious facebook post.Reddit u/steve31086, for sleuthing the details of William Maley Jr."..."OUTSIDE MY LIFE,INSIDE THE DREAM.FALLING UP THE STAIRS,INTO THE STREET.LET THE CABLE CARCARRY ME.STRAIGHT OUT OF TOWN,INTO THE SEA.PAST THE DAHLIAS ANDTHE SELF-DRIVING CARS.THE CHURCH OF 8 WHEELS.THE LOWER HAIGHT BARS.THE PEAK HOUR SPRAWL.THE KIDS IN THE PARK.THE SLANTING HOUSES.THE BAY AFTER DARK.MY WINDOW, MY OWNSILVER SCREEN.I FOLLOW WHERE THEFOG TAKES ME.By MADDY CARRUCAN"

Why One Man Is Fighting for Our Right to Control Our Garage Door Openers - The New York Times
[https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/technology/personaltech/why-one-man-is-fighting-for-our-right-to-control-our-garage-door-openers.html]
Chamberlain Group, a company that makes garage door openers, had created the MyQ hubs so that virtually any garage door opener could be controlled with home automation software from Apple, Google, Nest and others. Chamberlain also offered a free MyQ smartphone app.

Two years ago, Chamberlain started shutting down support for most third-party access to its MyQ servers. The company said it was trying to improve the reliability of its products. But this effectively broke connections that people had set up to work with Apple’s Home app or Google’s Home app, among others. Chamberlain also started working with partners that charge subscriptions for their services, though a basic app to control garage doors was still free.

Most Precious Person(s) by Prim_the_Amazing
[https://archiveofourown.org/works/74947231]
Shen Qingqiu wakes up from death like a man groggily emerging from deep sleep, not immediately remembering where he is or what has happened. He opens his eyes half expecting to see the Bamboo House’s ceiling, and is instead met with the tall, arching ceiling of a palace. He’s lying on his back on the floor, his hands neatly folded on his stomach, dressed simply as if for sleep. He pushes himself up enough to look around him, and sees that he’s in the middle of a very elaborate array drawn in blood. 

Oh, this cannot be good. 

“The resurrection ritual worked!” Shang Qinghua says, his voice high and tense. Shen Qingqiu’s disoriented gaze finds him standing outside the array, a wobbly, manic smile on his face. He shoots Shen Qingqiu a wordless sorry bro look, which immediately lets him know that whatever the situation is, this hack author has completely thrown him underneath the bus once again. “S-- see, Junshang? This lowly servant wasn’t lying!” 

… Wait. 

-

Shen Qingqiu is ressurected from death against his will, except someone else comes along for the ride too.

Don't Click Here
[https://www.dont-click-here.com/]
I've gone go back and forth on this over the decades. Like every other good little HTML'er in the 90s, I would link the words in a sentence that indicated what the link went to. I kept doing this in the 2000s. But then in the 2010's when we started treating the web less like documents and more like, I don't know, like web of apps, the idea of telling people to "click here" seemed more obvious. And in the 2020's, I don't use it at much, but a click here is sometimes more natural especially when you're doing a CTA. That is: I accept that sometimes "click here" style linking is OK and maybe even the best choice. Still, if you were to pick one, I'd go with avoiding "click here" linking.

Is language core to thought, or a separate process? For 15 years, the neuroscientist Ev Fedorenko has gathered evidence of a language network in the human brain — and has found some similarities to LLMs.
[https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-polyglot-neuroscientist-resolving-how-the-brain-parses-language-20251205/]
You can think of the language network as a set of pointers,” Fedorenko said. “It’s like a map, and it tells you where in the brain you can find different kinds of meaning. It’s basically a glorified parser that helps us put the pieces together — and then all the thinking and interesting stuff happens outside of [its] boundaries.”

Fedorenko has been gathering biological evidence of this language network for the past 15 years in her lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Unlike a large language model, the human language network doesn’t string words into plausible-sounding patterns with nobody home; instead, it acts as a translator between external perceptions (such as speech, writing and sign language) and representations of meaning encoded in other parts of the brain (including episodic memory and social cognition, which LLMs don’t possess). Nor is the human language network particularly large: If all of its tissue were clumped together, it would be about the size of a strawberry(opens a new tab). But when it is damaged, the effect is profound. An injured language network can result in forms of aphasia(opens a new tab) in which sophisticated cognition remains intact but trapped within a brain unable to express it or distinguish incoming words from others.

The Dentsu Creative 2026 trends report, Generative Realities, offers an in-depth exploration of the cultural and commercial forces shaping consumer behavior, curated to inspire brands in 2026 and beyond. The report captures a world that is both exhausted and exhilarated by change, and reveals a rising desire for escape, grounding and reconnection.

Led by Dentsu Creative Global Chief Strategy Officer, Pats McDonald, this annual deep dive into the forces shaping people, brands and society is informed by global strategists, blending cultural analysis with exclusive quantitative research from 4,500 consumers across the US, UK, India, Spain, Brazil, China and Japan.
Led by Dentsu Creative Global Chief Strategy Officer, Pats
McDonald, this annual deep dive into the forces shaping
people, brands and society is informed by global strategists,
blending cultural analysis with exclusive quantitative
research from 4,500 consumers across the US, UK, India,
Spain, Brazil, China and Japan.

Generative Realities explores the implications of a world where ideas impact culture at the pace of the prompt, and trends collide, combine and regenerate at the speed of the feed. While the trends are fast-paced and unpredictable, we believe there are some profound societal and cultural shifts bubbling beneath.

In a world where there is no longer any disconnect between imagination and experience, a desire for craft, friction, and difference is emerging, driving the pursuit of unconventional hobbies and fandoms. We also see ambivalent attitudes to a culture of constant connectivity, as our emotional relationship with technology struggles to keep up with the pace of change.

OpenAI sta affrontando una svolta critica: dopo il vantaggio iniziale di ChatGPT, l’azienda sta bruciando miliardi con perdite previste enormi e ricavi insufficienti. La crescita degli utenti rallenta mentre Google e soluzioni open‑source guadagnano terreno, spingendo Sam Altman a dichiarare un "code red" e sollevando dubbi di analisti e investitori sulla sostenibilità finanziaria e il futuro competitivo dell’azienda.

Database esposto di startup AI: oltre 1 milione di immagini nude, possibili abusi su minori
[https://www.wired.com/story/huge-trove-of-nude-images-leaked-by-ai-image-generator-startups-exposed-database/]
Un ricercatore ha scoperto una banca dati esposta con 1.099.985 immagini e video creati da generatori d'immagini AI (usati da servizi come MagicEdit e DreamPal), la maggior parte a contenuto pornografico: alcuni sembrano raffigurare minorenni o volti di bambini sovrapposti a corpi nudi. Il leak, che aggiungeva ~10.000 immagini al giorno, evidenzia fallimenti di moderazione, rischi di abusi non consensuali, CSAM e problemi di sicurezza e responsabilità delle startup.
