New sphere-packing record stems from an unexpected source

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:

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

Yes please

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

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

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.

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