Re:Using uv as your shebang line
on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @05:29PM (#42858954)
This is true. For example, the following shebang/uv header works on both macOS and Linux:
#!/usr/bin/env -S uv --quiet run --script
# /// script
# requires-python = ">=3.13"
# dependencies = [
# "python-dateutil",
# ]
# ///
#
# [python script that needs dateutil]

I'm pretty sure that's a Link MC5 terminal, which emulates DEC VT220 by default, but that font doesn't seem very VT220ish. https://vt100.net/dec/vt220/glyphs

I expect you're remembering User:Lupin/popups.js[1], which dates back to August 2005.
It soon became known as Navigation Popups[2], and is still available today.
The main documentation for Page Previews mentions Navigation Popups.[3]
