In an enthusiastic tone of an AI enthusiast: Thankfully, now that we have ChatGPT, this feature is obsolete and the curl executable doesn't have to contain half-baked quines in it anymore!
- ijustlovemath 3y agoIt's not a quine though, as it's not producing curl itself
- tomtomtom777 3y agoOne could argue it's a half-baked quine.
- kevindamm 3y agomm parbaked quine, just pop it in the compiler add a main driver and serve with some gengetopt for a delicious webcrawler!
- throwaway_08932 3y agoIn Italian, it's common to append 'ino' or 'ina' to something when you want to imply it's a smaller or cuter version of itself. So 'quinino' might work here.
- bayindirh 3y agoIf you want something with more rhyme, poco-quine can also work, I guess, pq for short.
- neuromanser 3y agolibpq is taken by PostgreSQL though ;)
- Biganon 3y agoReading this comment gave me a fever... I wish a plant could help me get better...
- bayindirh 3y agoI'd never change --libcurl and gengetopt[0] with some output from some artificial thingy which babbles semi-truths which doesn't understand what it's doing. They are deterministic tools which does what you want in a battle tested way, and will let me sleep well at night, which is an underappreciated feature of mature programs.

- jcul 3y agoFirst I've heard of gengetopt, thanks!
- bayindirh 3y agoYou're welcome! It's a great tool IMHO.
- avgcorrection 3y agoHurray for deterministic tools! Yes, there is no reason to risk using an LLM when you have a code generator that you can trust.
- bayindirh 3y agoA code generator needs neither hundreds of GPUs nor an internet access to work. Not having to train a code generator in ethically questionable ways is also a huge plus, too.
