An ooc quine

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

While preparing my next post about ooc documentation yet again, I stumbled upon an old ooc quine of mine. Here it is in integrality for your pleasure:

q := 34 as Char
l := [
"q := 34 as Char"
"l := ["
"]"
"for (i in 0..2) {"
"    l[i] println()"
"}"
"for (i in 0..12) {"
"    q print(); l[i] print(); q println()"
"}"
"for (i in 2..12) {"
"    l[i] println()"
"}"
]
for (i in 0..2) {
    l[i] println()
}
for (i in 0..12) {
    q print(); l[i] print(); q println()
}
for (i in 2..12) {
    l[i] println()
}

It is very much inspired from the Wikipedia examples for a quine.

Can you find a shorter one?

(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!

Cracking Electron apps open

I use the draw.io desktop app to make diagrams for my website. I run it on an actual desktop, like Windows or macOS, but the asset pipeline that converts .drawio files, to .pdf, to .svg, and then to .svg again (but smaller) runs on Linux.

So I have a Rust program somewhere that opens headless chromium, and loads just the HTML/JS/CSS part of draw.io I need to render my diagrams, and then use Chromium’s “print to PDF” functionality to save a PDF.
