Some of those are small, but those are from lesser known brands. My experience with those is that their long term support is often lacking. It’s also going to be difficult to find replacement parts in case the display cracks or something.

When was the last time you transferred data to or from your phone by cable? The USB port is mostly only for charging.

Downloading Google maps is an option. I have never used Apple maps.

Got it

I haven’t seen any phone offered by these manufacturers that is as small as iPhone 13 mini. At best they’re just marginally smaller than iPhone 15.

There is no good alternative anymore if you’re looking for a truly small phone.

None of these are small

That’s just a few mm smaller than iPhone 15

Which android phone is as small as iPhone 13 mini?

iPhone 15 is not that much bigger compared to S10e, so if you want a small phone like iPhone 13 mini you’re out of luck.

iPhone 15 is just 1 mm larger than S23

The options on Android aren’t much better, unless you go for some obscure manufacturer who won’t support the phone with updates 1 year after its life cycle.

Apple was for a while the only remaining flagship manufacturer who actually provided mini models. Ironic, because Android is supposed to be the alternative providing more options.

Python 3.7 is another good example. The new await and async keyword broke a lot of programs.

You know the cleaning up probably won’t happen. If some dependency doesn’t work anymore because Python introduced a breaking change, then you stick with the old Python version.

Terminal with stories

Specialization has always been a thing. Probably more so before. A carpenter wouldn’t just wake up and “nah, I’d rather work with pottery today”. The carpenter probably became a carpenter because their parents passed on their carpentering skills to them, so that’s what they do until they die.

Without capitalism, you’ll do what the government decides you will do, for however long they decide you should do it for.

While the government leaders will live in big mansions free to do whatever they want.

Perl is great for that occasional bash one liner or that one off script.

It’s awful for team projects. The core mantra of Perl is “there’s more than one way to do it”, meaning every piece of code can be written in hundreds of different ways. Result is that everybody write with different code styles, and no one can understand each other’s code.

So that rules out most practical use cases.

CI/CD is useful regardless of which language you’re using. Sooner or later some customer is going to yell at you because you didn’t discover the fatal error before deploying.

This time for Africa

I don’t think BG3 got review bombed, and that one is not available on Xbox.
