the Oscars are a great fit for YouTube in the sense that YouTube is already where most people watch the show — in clips the next day
the Oscars are a great fit for film youtube in the sense that they’re amazing but ultimately good for at most one four-hour video once per year.

With MCP becoming a standard, are we going to get /.well-known/mcp as an endpoint to expose any web service to an agent? 🤔 Seems like it could be a good idea, so you could just give a bot a url and it would be able to find the MCP

Upgraded from the old Dell monitor I'd been using since time immemorial to a LG Ultragear with 240 Hz refresh rate. I was expecting to see a big improvement in gaming on my PC, but I wasn't expecting to also see a big improvement in clarity on macOS too.

you know how when I get asked what I want to see in CSS, one of the things I say is a fictional "font-size: fit-container"? It's this. This is the thing I wanted. hooray!

Big acquisitions of stuff like this often puts a burden on maintainers to make the framework work *for* the business above everything else too.

Very much regretting upgrading to Tahoe. Something about Electron apps is grossly unoptimized, causing a beach ball after I type anything in one. Beach balls even on cmd-tabbing to a different window, or scrolling.

Does @kagi.com Orion tab sync work for anyone? I’m not even sure how to access synced tabs on iOS. On macOS meanwhile, my iPhone shows up, but says it has 0 tabs open. 🤔

Is there anyone who uses a mouse with a scrollwheel, who scrolls using their middle finger? I always think this must be more comfortable, because it lets my hand remain in the normal mousing position. But I have always scrolled with my index finger.

Very strange the Discord doesn't have a way to DM yourself? I use this all the time in Slack to write drafts of messages before I send them, so no one in any real channel will the see the "someone is typing..." notification as I inevitably over-edit my message.

Shit flows downhill. When you're an executive, your outputs become someone else's problem. When you're doing the implementation, the gap in every half-assed idea and slipshod assumption becomes visible & it's your responsibility to fix it.
A new global study shows that AI adoption varies by seniority, with 87% of executives using it on the job, compared with 57% of managers and 27% of employees. It also finds that executives are 45% more likely to use the technology on the job than Gen Zers …
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.
