Some of these do not seem to render correctly on Firefox. Seems to rely on Chrome-specific behavior.
Same here: https://i.imgur.com/M07sFus.png . FF72 (just realised I'm a bit out of date).
FF73 on OSX, I see the same result as that image.

If everything I did had a practical purpose, I'd die from boredom without learning anything beforehand. Kudos to the poster for sharing this. Also, if I was hiring a developer with decent CSS knowledge, and found this attached to their CV, it'll help me skip a ton of questions (and I'll be less bored during the interview). Next step: ensure that the related Simpons characters' images are build using CSS cascade:) Sid…
>but genuinely think that the parent comment doesn't add anything to the discussion I am so tired of having to use flawed tools to achieve a certain goal. Why can't there be a non flawed tool? Often it doesn't exist and then people start cursing. This HN submission is not like that. Proper tools like SVG exist and they make this work like this painless. This is an example of someone going out of his way to feel pain.…
Better tools exist. Someone was just trying to have fun, ffs.
Your approach to work/learning might not necessarily reflect the others'.
Picking a technical detail (bear in mind, almost everyone here knows about SVG, WebGL etc...) seems a bit ironic to me, as you mention "pain" and "self harm", whereas the reply by itself seems to lack empathy. Or, an understanding of context.

#93Animated even and the code looks hand-drawn. I Fun fact: I worked at a nuclear engineering consultancy in the 90's. That's the not the fun fact. The hostnames of the computers were all Simpsons' character names. rsh blinky ftp homer
I work at a place now that uses USS Starship names for projects. Really brings home the old adage about the hardest parts of computer science being naming things when the decision comes down to a discussion of the philosophical implications of a TV episode from 1994.
A long time ago I was a sysadmin for a company that gave us a Windows client desktop, and a desktop running Windows Server. The rule was that you had to name the server after a brewery. I'm not a beer drinker, so I named mine A&W. Spelled as "Ayeanddubya." (Aye and dubya) That was fun for a while, people would call it names like "Abbadabba." I later switched it to Duff.
During that time our manager, who wasn't that bright, rushed over and exclaimed. "There is a rouge server on the network!"
We did some looking around and discovered that she had seen my coworker's server, named after Rouge Brewery.

#94Very cool but can you fill in the eye whites instead of leaving them as background color? The characters looked really odd with a dark mode extension enabled so all the eyes were completely black :D
Re: The Simpsons in CSS
#95This is really cool. Everyone looks a bit... wispy? though

#97CSS art always reminds me to the acid tests, back in the old days. We come from far! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid2
Those tests were definitely fun, and gave me lots of "my browser is better than yours" bragging rights. I'm surprised that it's the year 2020 and Firefox still doesn't score 100% in the Acid3 test.
It's 2020, and Chrome doesn't score 100% on Acid3. It's unlikely that any browser will, since the standards have changed.

#98Viewing this page with Dark Reader enabled makes for quite a harrowing experience... https://i.imgur.com/AUTXPfW.png
:-( Everyone forgets that white is not the default background colour. There is no default background colour!
Some forget. This page explicitly sets the background white. If the user runs a browser extension that overrides this setting, what can the page do?

Some of them are slightly problematic on Safari Mac, too https://imgur.com/a/5CCu9K8 shows quite a few spurious ovals showing up. Good work though :)
I get this on Chrome/Mac so maybe it's an OSX thing.
Nope. It looks a lot like what I get on Firefox/Windows.
