I&#39;ve recently started to watch #Taskmaster for my daily mindless entertainment. Now my dreams are going crazy. I just woke up because I nedded to pee into a funnel at a bus stop before another team member could roll 42 grams of paper in 14 grams of sugar. I was happy I found a package of 14 grams of sugar on my search for the funnel because we didn&#39;t have much time. But then everything wasn&#39;t real, except for one bit.

Margaret Atwood (Author of The Handmaid&#39;s Tale) was guest to the German podcast &quot;Alles gesagt?&quot; by Die Zeit. I&#39;ve never heard an English episode from them. And I&#39;ve never heard Margaret Atwood talk about Trump&#39;s regime and tell stories from her life. I think it&#39;s a good first in both instances. Alles gesagt?

The most interesting talk from #39C3 to me so far is &#39;CSS Clicker Training: Making games in a &quot;styling&quot; language&#39; by Lyra Rebane https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-css-clicker-training-making-games-in-a-styling-language about abusing CSS features to create UIs that are unexpectedly elaborate for CSS+HTML (no JS). I enjoyed the talk very much because while I heave heard of and used some of the presented techniques, I didn&#39;t know how far people take the idea of...

If I would have been responsible for creating disc images in a CD pressing factory, I would have made sure to add digital information outside of any track whenever a CD wasn&#39;t quite full. Nothing useful. Just dick jokes and the like. People like me exist. Now it&#39;s up to everybody else to search supposedly unused spaces on CDs and DVDs for structured patterns.

As somebody who has hosted videos on web pages with JS and Flash players at a time where broadband wasn&#39;t as broad as it is today, I must say I don&#39;t understand what the problem is with getting an embedded player to work.

If it the video is not hosted on one of the few big video platforms, it&#39;s unlikely to just play when I press play. Taking a long time to buffer is one thing with my s...
