Fantastic! Are you proud that you can call yourself an HTML programmer now?

#54Idle question, is CSS/HTML turing complete? If so I look forward to a Show HN of a CSS/HTML emulator of JSMESS emulating a 386 running Windows 98.
There is a famous demo of rule110 in css at http://eli.fox-epste.in/rule110-full.html

That is impressive, just impressive. Brought back some fond memories of installing Windows XP over and over again for family and friends with fckgw rhqq2 yxrkt 8tg6w and playing minesweeper before handing it off to them. Great job!

“fckgw rhqq2 yxrkt 8tg6w. There’s a name I’ve not heard in a long, long time.”

It's 1.23MB of CSS & HTML - this is meant to be a stress test of the limits, lag is expected for the next several years of average-at-the-time computers!
Or until someone packages your madness as a popular library and browsers are forced to optimize it.
(I'm joking, please don't. Please.)

Is there something magic about that code?
tl;dr I grew up in India where the Indian Rupee was quite weak compared to the USD. Most people I knew couldn't really afford a legitimate copy of Windows XP - 1 USD was about 48.61 INR in 2002, and average wage was about 120 INR/day[0]. At that price a copy of Windows XP (priced at around $300/$400 ~ INR 14,000) was prohibitively expensive for pretty much everyone I knew. Because of that we ended up using leaked keys to setup new PCs, I did that enough times for my family, friends, and classmates that now I can type that key up as if I'm typing "hello world" :)
