Yes it's terrible. The only hope on the horizon is uv. It's significantly better than all the other tooling (Poetry, pip, pipenv, etc.) so I think it has a good chance of reducing the options to just Pip or uv at least.
But I fully expect the Python Devs to ignore it, and maybe even make life deliberately difficult for it like they did for static analysers. They have some strange priorities sometimes.
There's also CPC/Farnell but none of those are in the same league as McMaster Carr. Much smaller ranges, worse prices, worse websites, missing CAD models, etc.
Another option is Misumi but they have even worse prices and don't even sell to individuals.
I'd recommend going to McMaster Carr just to see what we are missing out on.
I wish we had something like McMaster Carr in the UK. I don't even care if it's fast! You guys had better appreciate how good you've got it.
The fist iPhones weren’t flagships.
Lol what. Do you know what a flagship is?
brought nothing new
How old are you? This is very obviously complete nonsense to anyone who was around at the time.
Those days never existed. Even the first iPhones were like $500 and that was over a decade ago.
These prices are very high but phones last a lot longer than they used to and are improving a lot slower. I just bought a Pixel 8 for £400 which (accounting for inflation) is about the same price as we used to pay for three old Pixels and even Nexuses.
E.g. the Nexus 4 which was considered "mega cheap" was £279 for the 16GB model, which is £390 in today's money.
They're clearly going for price differentiation based on the model year, but you really don't need the latest model to have an amazing phone any more.
Python is going to die eventually. It's too slow and the infrastructure is too painful for it to survive super long term.
It's ridiculous popular now though so it's going to take decades to die down.
I don't think
libuvis really that popular, nor is it that confusing.But I do agree it's not a very good name. "Rye" is a much better name. Probably too late anyway.
