you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS
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

@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.

@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 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)

Bill Gates had a couple friends map out tte Entire output of a was it 8086 and Made DOS out of the electrical responses, with some Other Stuff.
Whether you know it or not All Computer is based on the Stuff Bill Gates did in Creating DOS.
Even Linux, many Linux can not operate without the DOS Building blocks Platform.
Gates didn't create DOS. He bought it.

I built a Z80 in Haskell, that compiled onto an FPGA. I couldn't get access to an actual FPGA (greedy PhD students), so I ran an emulation on a Sun Workstation. It was faster than the actual Z80 machine I still had.
