The shortest ooc quine

👋 This page was last updated ~13 years ago. Just so you know.

A few days ago I posted an ooc quine. But while browing HackerNews, I found an even shorter one. The shortest!

Here it is, in its full glory

Can’t see anything? That’s an empty file. It will compile and run just fine. ooc doesn’t require a main function - you can just shove code in there that will run at the program’s initialization. If there’s none, no big deal! It’ll just not run anything.

That’s one nice side-effect of simple design.

(JavaScript is required to see this. Or maybe my stuff broke)

Did you know I also make videos? Check them out on PeerTube and also YouTube!

Here's another article just for you:

Making our own spectrogram

A couple months ago I made a loudness meter and went way too in-depth into how humans have measured loudness over time.

A screenshot of the fasterthanlime audio meter, with RMS, sample peak, true peak, and various loudness metrics.

Today we’re looking at a spectrogram visualization I made, which is a lot more entertaining!

We’re going to talk about how to extract frequencies from sound waves, but also how my spectrogram app is assembled from different Rust crates, how it handles audio and graphics threads, how it draws the spectrogram etc.
