I feel there should be a gov dep where all the "i turned this into DOOM" folks get hired, to build the next spicy interplanetary propulsion systems. They are clearly needing an exotic task to stop twiddling their fingers.
They would just end up making the thing they're building run Doom.

And then they would find a way to make that embedded Doom run the thing that they are building [1]. Possibly inside a cellular automaton. [1] Can Doom Run It? An Adding Machine in Doom https://blog.otterstack.com/posts/202212-doom-calculator/

Even better, since everything is well organized, you can add `opacity: 0.7` to `.wall` specifically, and get something that looks almost exactly like how old school wallhacks looked like.
Is that a Doom reference? What’s a wall hack? How did it look?
While standalone CSS is not yet Turing complete, I worry about the new attack vector categories opened up by moving it towards that state. Already I believe attackers have a choice to spread the attack payload between CSS, HTML and JavaScript to evade current detectors and analysis at the network borders, and evade CSP's since we're well into undecidability territory, like using CSS attribute selectors if the CSP all…
Looks like it is, though? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47558097
This feels like one of those “because we can” projects that accidentally reveals where the platform is going. CSS started as purely declarative styling, but between things like conditionals, math functions, and now these rendering tricks, it’s slowly creeping into “programmable system” territory. Not because it’s the right tool for it, but because browsers are becoming the real runtime. The interesting question isn’t…
This page could use some "Practical CSS scroll snapping": https://css-tricks.com/practical-css-scroll-snapping/
I was amazed when I first came across CSS scroll snapping. It's great for creating immersive experiences where one part of the page fills the entire screen while native browser scrolling still works.
Its incredible how far concepts like CSS can be pushed. But sometimes I wonder what if CSS would be just JavaScript i.e both concept are merged. Would that be better or worse for webdev? I don't know. But I like to ponder.
In recent years CSS has become closer to a full programming language through experimental features, for example in 2025 they added if statements and some math functions like modulo https://www.simplethread.com/new-and-upcoming-css-features-i...
