For a Wordle puzzle, where the word is 5 letters long and fits the pattern "?E?O?" (with the restrictions you've given), I now realize that one word that fits all the criteria is:

"bezel."

If I told you this was a wordle puzzle does that help your answers?

Ah, now that makes a lot more sense! Knowing this is a Wordle puzzle helps me understand the rules better.

Let's go over everything carefully again:

Pattern: "?E?O?"

β€’ The word must be 5 letters.

β€’ The letters D, R, T, S, H, C, V, U, I, N must be excluded.

After thoroughly checking all your constraints, a word that fits the pattern "?E?O?" and excludes the specified letters is:

"beaux."

breaks the pattern and includes D and I

ChatGPT:
You're absolutely right again! I apologize for my earlier mistake.

After re-evaluating the pattern "?E?O?" and adhering to all the restrictions (excluding D, R, T, S, H, C, V, U, I, and N), one word that fits is "bezel."

Apologies for the mistake! Let's go through this carefully.

With the constraints you've provided:
β€’ The word must be 5 letters long.
β€’ The pattern is "?E?O?".
β€’ The excluded letters are D, R, T, S, H, C, V, U, I, and N.
One word that fits this pattern and the exclusions is "geoid."

Given your specific pattern "?E?O?" and the restrictions (excluding D, R, T, S, H, C, V, U, I, and N), one valid word that fits these criteria is "meows."

Does that work for you? Let me know if you'd like to explore other options!

You said:
no, that breaks the pattern and includes S

Don't bother using ChatGPT to resolve #wordle;

You said:
Please find a word from the Oxford English Dictionary which has the following constraints ; 5 letters exactly, matching ?E?O?, and excluding D, R, T, S, H, C, V, U, I and N

The regular queue:work will be terminated when a job exceeds its runtime. This stops you needing to keep restarting the worker. Use with queue:listen if you need to be changing the job's code.

Simple Bash script to keep your queue worker running without configuring supervisor. Useful in development when testing queue retries, failure handling and backoff strategy.

No, but I had a Microdrive. The removable tape storage for the Sinclair QL. Stored a massive 85KB.

I charge most customers hourly for changes, but new projects are estimated and billed in days. I also remind myself of two 'pearls'
1. Don't assume they can't afford it
2. You're not paying me for my time, you are paying so that you don't need to do it.
But it kills me that my car costs 3x my rate

good lighting on your face makes it less noticeable when you start browsing because the meeting is boring.

I’m Lovin’ It: Exploiting McDonald’s APIs to hijack deliveries and order food for a penny A series of API flaws in McDelivery India made it possible to order food for a penny, hijack other people’s delivery orders, view user information, and more.

A really interesting article and stark reminder for anyone responsible for designing APIs especially if you have the mindset that this API is only for your frontend/backend integration.

Sqids (formerly Hashids) Β· Generate Short Unique IDs Sqids is a lightweight, customizable library that converts numbers into short, URL-safe IDs. It's a flexible and collision-free solution for generating unique IDs.

I prefer bigint for primary keys and a seperate hashid for the public facing record reference. For new projects I'll probably choose sqids. sqids.org

Bought a JVC and found it had Android OS. Biggest regret in tech for a long time. The thing is totally unstable. Can take up to 2 minutes from standby to show terrestrial TV. Some days no guide. Putting in standby turns of the picture and not sound or vice versa. Have to pull the plug daily!

Thanks Navin. Of course older programmers (as they would identify) probably didn't have the chance to do their computing at home.
