Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

WHILE Quine

NPM Package

This script uses breadth-first search on possible abstract syntax trees to find a Quine for the WHILE programming language.

Usage

npm build: Fetch and build the WHILE binary. Requires the Haskell Tool Stack.

npm clean: Empty the table of previous attempts in history.csv. Usually you do not want to run this because you do not want to recompute the whole table.

npm start: Start the program to undertake further attempts at finding a quine. The search tree will be built anew on each start, but all previous attempts which are saved in history.csv will not be executed again. The attempts will be saved to history.csv.

Contributing

It would be cool if you could clone the project, run it for a few hours or days, and submit a pull request with your results :)

If you actually find the Quine with this program, you can collect 2.5£ reward from me. This presupposes that you do not before me claim the original 5£ reward.

Also, if you have any suggestions how to improve the script, your issues and pull requests are very welcome!
