i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

@goaty it uses newish css features such as if() statements and @functions, which other browsers haven't implemented yet
@rebane2001 @goaty CSS has if statements now??!

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS
@rebane2001 have you ran DOOM on it?

Is this practical?
Not really, you can get way better performance by writing code in CSS directly rather than emulating an entire archaic CPU architecture.
Beautiful.

@rebane2001 lol. if the css police comes to arrest you, just know you have friends everywhere.

@freddy dang it, i must've mis-guessed it (i usually write the github links to files *before* i figure out what filenames or repo names i want to use, hoping it'll line up later)

@rebane2001@infosec.exchange i ask this is the most shocked way ever, what and how the fuck did you manage to do this

Awesome achievement, you rock! -

@rebane2001 if you do write about this, I am particularly curious to understand how you implemented a clock in CSS.
And, clock or no clock, I do hope you will, I am following you so I won't miss it when you do. =^)

@rebane2001 man… when I see things like this… it restores my faith that true spirit of software engineering is not dead yet!

@rebane2001 Objection, you built an entire x86 cpu emulator in chrome.
"Your browser is unable to run this demo. Please try with an up-to-date Chromium-based browser."
Edit: looks like these APIs will come to mozilla based browsers, but "at a later date".

@f4grx I built it in CSS. It uses CSS features only available in Chromium, but they are from the spec and being developed for eg Firefox too.

@rebane2001 oh great, so we just need to wait a bit! Thats a fun project.

@rebane2001 lol your branch name is called mane....

@rebane2001 anyway I tried reading the source and it....gave me nothing. Looking forward to the explainer blog post, the various poorly written summaries of your emulator on "tech news" websites and the inevitable conference talk

@freddy heheh, the summaries will be terrible for sure
i've already seen a few ai bot comments that claim this is using checkboxes and selectors for the logic (i don't think the page has any checkboxes and all the logic happens within a single selector)
