i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

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

Hey All, I made a header only C++ library where it's 1 line of code to init, then you can start writing to pixels on the screen.

I call it thirteen.h, as it is inspired by the simplicity of the 13h days.

Examples include a mandelbrot viewer and a playable mine sweeper game.

Just installed Plan 9 and played for a bit with compiling and running some simple C programs. Looks like the provided iso file from Plan 9 installs a 386 system. 8c, 8l, 8a are the compiler, linker and assembler for 386. For writing the code I've used the sam editor.

I've used qemu to virtualize Plan 9 on my arm64 MacBook.

Some of the books I have written in the past 30 years. Some are not in the stack, some are not even on my homepage (http://t3x.org), some are out of print. I have lost track over the years. It has been quite a journey, though.

There it is. My first little book about Guile Scheme. 😄👍🤩

Looks a bit like one of the Reclam Books from School Days in the 90s.

The announcement of LISP From Nothing was on the front page of Hacker News for one day, which sold more than 50 copies. I think this is the first time in my life that the hours spent in writing/editing a book amounted to more than minimum wage.
Picture: my copy of the hardcover edition, which arrived in the mail today.

Just published the second edition of "LISP From Nothing" with a new chapter on Lambda Calculus that sheds light on the question if LAMBDA is enough to implement LISP. Also contains other minor additions and corrections. See the homepage for details.
