After FFmpeg (used in all your TVs and gadgets, very likely), QEmu (used also by Xen and VBox and other), tcc and his IOCC entries, the DVB-T emission with an ATI card, Fabrice comes, once again with something crazy... He is really impressive...
Searching for "tcc" and "tcc unix" returns nothing helpful. Searching for "IOCC" returns nothing, and "IOCC Fabrice" returns a site that is caching HN in realtime, and it's your post. Any help?
Feel bad to miss out on this as I am on FF 3.6. But this remind reminded me of a service from a long time ago. Dont remember their name, this was some 10 years ago. But they used to provide a KDE desktop via the browser as a java applet. It was not terribly snappy, but quite surprisingly usable. Any one remembers this ?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
And still, he has normal job in a normal company... Not in a start-up or not in a mega-tech-corp...
Perhaps he's able to produce great stuff like this because he has a normal job in a normal company.
He is presumably working for a good company (or at least one that is good for him) and has time management skills himself.
That, and a brain to be envious of plus a supply of inspiration!
This looks awesome! I'm just starting to learn ruby and was going to look today on whether there was a way to run it in a browser very easily. Wonder if this is the answer
This is completely awesome. When I saw http://cb.vu a few years ago I thought hey, someone has finally done it, but that turned out to be a hack. Kudos to Bellard once again. Nitpicking: the terminal emulation is messed up. It keeps resizing horizontally, and less gets confused. I'm sure the terminal emulator was fun to play with. A correct vt100 state machine implementation [1] would probably not be quite as fun [2]…
wget is available, and it would be cool to piggy back the linux network stack through the browser.
cut & paste support is a must for any terminal
The space characters are very narrow. Needs to be monospace.
All fairly minor compared to the coolness of this.

Indeed, this is completely awesome. I first thought it was some remotely hosted virtual machine, but it really runs inside the browser. Insane! Especially considered how fast it is. When he adds X, we can run Firefox inside Linux inside Firefox inside Linux :') Edit: seems the terminal emulator supports ANSI escape codes such as the 16 Linux colors, but not the XTerm 256 color mode (\e[38;5;CCm) or Konsole 24 bit (\e…
Skip the middle man, output gtk via html5 http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2011/03/15/gtk-html-backend-upd... (I don't actually know if it still has dependencies on X11 :P)
