It’s amazing how Siri gets worse over time.

I have a light in the Home app I named β€œreading lamp 2”. I used to be able to go β€œHey Siri, turn on reading lamp 2” and it would turn on. Lately tho Siri responds β€œOk. Reading lamps are set to turn on at 2am.”

    Oh, I'd recognize those parenthesis anywhere. Any sufficiently complicated javascript program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, supply-chain-vulnerable, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp.

    OP, was that your own computer/profile that you emptied the Deleted Items from?

    If tech support stories are to be believed, many users use that folder as a one-button-press archive and the idea that things might actually be deleted from there is both incomprehensible and then horrifying to them.

    It also might explain why the icon is an old one because Microsoft's quality control teams probably use the feature this way and never once saw that icon, leading to it never being updated.

    Serious reply to meme post incoming:

    I love using rust and I think the reason for it is interesting. Because very few people actually care about memory safety without garbage collector (including me, I would gladly use a language with a garbage corrector as well).

    For me at least, the actual reasons are

    1. It has familiar curly brace syntax without significant whitespace
    2. It has many functional language features, which I love
    3. Something something thread safety
    4. Managing versions and compatibility is extremely easy thanks to rustup and great backwards compatibility
    5. Getting set up with the tooling is very quick and easy
    6. The official lsp server just works and is really good
    7. The official formatter is heavily opinionated and I love it (never have to think about code formatting)
    8. The language is turning me into a cute girl
    9. Managing dependencies and packages is nice thanks to an official package manager existing and being really good
    10. Deployment is easy thanks to it compiling to a binary that depends on next to nothing

    So yeah, what I like about rust doesn't actually have too much to do with the language itself, more the experience around it, although I also really like the language itself. It's just a very complete package.
