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?

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!

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

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.”

      Yeah, turns out I should have read TFA:

      >The short summary of the Sudoku + Poetry post is that unlike Rust or JavaScript, a single Python project cannot use more than one version of a specific Python package.
