It does not mean that the behavior corresponds to one’s business needs. That’s not a problem that programming languages can solve. <br/><br/>unwrap() is like assert() in C: its defined behavior is to panic if a condition isn’t met. Here is the documentation:<br/><br/><a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/enum.Result.html#method.unwrap">https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/enum.Result.html#method.unwrap</a><br/><br/>There’s no subtle way to accidentally unwrap when you don’t mean to. The comparison to NULL pointer deref is therefore inapt. If you don’t want an assertion, don’t write one! 2025-11-20T17:54:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstp9gpclhp3y5j4s4h7p6vad0nj5wtpjd2rgvugzq5a4epxv3ktjszyph2zzny7gna8cmvc6wl88w8hwjxr3ep6wtefcgwk8hezr48gmc9ugrqtkh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8aqjut4ncjmnte7hpqmgf7fc8crgxy5dp4mtev5svuvthn8jsaucqwcp0x'>nevent1q…cp0x</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don’t remember, but I think it’s actually a pretty good film, for whatever that’s worth! 2025-11-16T19:38:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0qcjsxqcux4s23y2l936mh87nq4g2xd3rv9992sx8qu94m97090qzyph2zzny7gna8cmvc6wl88w8hwjxr3ep6wtefcgwk8hezr48gmc9ut60a75 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyzkr4hmhlsf4k9utea3rw5qp6hza7wrpqrv7vmdn72q7egvlf2gcs4an36'>nevent1q…an36</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>my cat is named Claude and this is a never-ending source of amusement for me 2025-11-05T04:45:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxrdwf9t6mwt53twjkjddtx8h3j22sjze63dffyx7u0zv2pppv56qzyph2zzny7gna8cmvc6wl88w8hwjxr3ep6wtefcgwk8hezr48gmc9u7cylqg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9xtt4u3fyepreeqf4j3ncyumxaafguuaylae5gt9zct6s8l7n34gqnm8p5'>nevent1q…m8p5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>what song 2025-10-19T08:26:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfwk9alfw8rz8e36dsccm8c4cexhexgr60f2pv68vks2q3n875l0gzyph2zzny7gna8cmvc6wl88w8hwjxr3ep6wtefcgwk8hezr48gmc9upyh35h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9e9j5tuayx0hu3n3wssajwa8ftgdpytvu054aeunflmuvs0l04dqh50ted'>nevent1q…0ted</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>wind is Hamas 2025-10-07T16:27:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst53gw8fdg43ewrptpk4s68kshtaug4wj37hg0ldceuqnwdpgtg4qzyph2zzny7gna8cmvc6wl88w8hwjxr3ep6wtefcgwk8hezr48gmc9urce6ss In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstk9gdmw0wf0k9czycue55juap92mt5tyq4us65zptnd3u8m7kr5g02xt6s'>nevent1q…xt6s</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Hate crimes against Jews are presumed to be motivated by hostility to the UK’s foreign policy, therefore they’re terrorism? 2025-10-06T00:31:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgkrjwgq8ue8rvk79rzg4fd4fafjhddpcde23ctpppu8ua6uq49lqzyph2zzny7gna8cmvc6wl88w8hwjxr3ep6wtefcgwk8hezr48gmc9uwucgzg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs06hcm8e3k4hdn4dkamx0p5l68u8a497nvazueyc9s76422j63lkcet6d00'>nevent1q…6d00</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>How bizarre.

Let me see if I can unconfuse things.<br/><br/>There’s three separate issues it conflates: 1. Can Siri be activated by accident; 2. However Siri is activated, does Apple treat the resulting recordings with appropriate care; 3. Does Apple monetize this type of data?<br/><br/>We know #1 is a thing, it’s annoying, but not evidence of malice or spying.<br/><br/>Apple fell down on #2 in 2018, when they were revealed to be sending recordings to contractors for quality control purposes. This practice was stopped.<br/><br/>The evidence for #3 is that some people were surprised to see ads for the same products they had been discussing. It is a big leap from there to “Apple must be monetizing Siri data”. I don’t reflexively trust Apple, but I think if they did do that, there would be better evidence of it. We’re all drowning in ads all the time; how weird would it be if people *didn’t* sometimes see ads for the same products they were talking about? Especially since the ad panopticon knows a lot about each one of us and tries to guess what we want? How often do people see an ad, start talking about the product, see another ad, and forget they saw the first one? (Or they’re the other person in the conversation? Etc etc)<br/><br/>I don’t want to build the ad panopticon, so I read these stories carefully. Some of my work touches on Siri. I have been at Apple for 12 years. 2025-01-02T22:28:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0e7vpw36tcer95dztgq7jvza5h4vyu4rus9tt2zw9qzwc86a9deczyph2zzny7gna8cmvc6wl88w8hwjxr3ep6wtefcgwk8hezr48gmc9u5cus67 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspcyrv477jftam2mg0h72q5x9lvx333qz8x9z92tjmecdsj4s89lgv44nq3'>nevent1q…4nq3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I did wonder passingly if you were being red-lined.<br/><br/>I also live in a city, but it is about 1/10 as dense as Manhattan. 2024-12-27T22:59:39Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdzqtc7rnsgw8ev3405qjy8ev4shpyay6djmf3x907swj7wdpypeqzyph2zzny7gna8cmvc6wl88w8hwjxr3ep6wtefcgwk8hezr48gmc9u4cqen2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr4gu4u7n8krakwswf09du60h9s6vzg3r4e2rm3h2pd4qhmy3xzmc7w4dq8'>nevent1q…4dq8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Suck.<br/><br/>I recently returned one item that was of poor quality, and another that my brother ordered by accident.
