+# Deduplicate A List Into A Tuple
+
+A `list` is not hashable which means you can't use it for things like `dict`
+keys or cache keys. Instead you need to convert it into something like a `set`
+or a `tuple`.
+
+Here is an example list:
+
+```python
+>>> l1 = [3,4,1,2,5,4,1]
+```
+
+Turning this list into a `set` or `frozenset` is straightforward:
+
+```python
+>>> set(l1)
+{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
+>>> frozenset(l1)
+frozenset({1, 2, 3, 4, 5})
+```
+
+If you're trying to preserve the order after deduplicating, then you'll want to
+use a `tuple` instead of a `set`. In order to deduplicate while maintaining the
+ordering, you can exploit the fact that `dict` keys maintain their order. A
+`list` can be transformed into the keys of a `dict` with
+[`dict.fromkeys`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict.fromkeys):
+
+```python
+>>> dict.fromkeys(l1)
+{3: None, 4: None, 1: None, 2: None, 5: None}
+```
+
+And here is your `tuple` which extracts the keys of the `dict`:
+
+```python
+>>> tuple(dict.fromkeys(l1))
+(3, 4, 1, 2, 5)
+```
+
+By comparison, here is the `tuple` transformed directly from the `list` without
+deduplication.
+
+```python
+>>> tuple(l1)
+(3, 4, 1, 2, 5, 4, 1)
+```

+# Browse And Search Help Docs
+
+There are a lot of tools that don't have dedicated `man` pages, but do have
+lengthy output when you pass them the `--help` flag.
+
+We can make those details easier to browse and searchable by piping them to
+`less`.
+
+```bash
+❯ uv run pytest --help | less
+```
+
+First, we see the top of the output inside `less` instead of bottom of the
+output right above our next terminal prompt.
+
+From `less`, we can use down and up arrows (or `j` and `k`) to navigate through
+the details. We can also jump to a specific word or phrase by searching -- type
+`/` and then the pattern we're trying to match. `n` and `N` to go to the next or
+previous match, respectively.
+
+See `man less` more more details. And if you like these improvements to viewing
+tool usage details, you may also be interested in [a better man page viewer](https://www.visualmode.dev/a-better-man-page-viewer).
