This is off-topic, but I use the Firefox extension Foxy Gestures. When I draw a gesture on the featured website, a pop-up shows the gesture I'm drawing.

I have never seen that before. Is that some JS/CSS trickery? Or a bug in the extension?

Here's my favorite of the Soduku attempts at this (easier to get your head around than Wordle since it's a much simpler problem): https://github.com/konstin/sudoku-in-python-packaging

Here's the same Sudoku trick from 2008 using Debian packages: https://web.archive.org/web/20080823224640/https://algebraic...

Funnily enough, I did a Sudoku one too (albeit with Poetry) a few years ago: https://github.com/mildbyte/poetry-sudoku-solver

If you wanted to leverage uv's package resolver for a less deliberately silly purpose, note that it's using the pubgrub-rs library under the hood: https://github.com/pubgrub-rs/pubgrub

Yet another reason to use `uv`!

I try to avoid bugs like this:

By accident, at first, I omitted the letter u in my list of letters that I was generating packages for, which caused extremely cryptic and long (500KB of uv painstakingly explaining to me why I was wrong) dependency resolution errors on specific guesses:

by doing this:

  import string
  LETTERS = string.ascii_lowercase

instead of this:

  LETTERS = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"

It's a few more characters to type, but easier to examine for correctness.

That's really neat. I didn't know about those string constants!

I express my deepest gratitude to the author for not publishing all those "wordle-*" packages to the PyPI. Thank you!

Next step: playing Doom with uv's dependency resolver

Extra points when it runs on an oscilloscope (because pregnancy testers are boring now).

Not directly related to uv, but I started looking into this now and stumbled upon this discussion about how it's easier to have Quake "render" onto an oscilloscope than Doom:

I'm still waiting to see doom run on a pregnancy test

Drawing images on an oscilloscope is fun, but I'm not sure if I would count it as a novel hack.

Yes please

Ok, now do npm!

npm allows you to have multiple versions of one package installed, so I’m not sure it will work for this, unless you use a package manager that allows you to set constraints like “only one version of this package can be installed.”
