I imagine such an engineer just gets a development plan and doesn't get to see the bigger picture, implying the backdoor. It might only get enabled on integration into a larger codebase, and nobody out of the loop will be able to extrapolate its existence from what they get to know for sure.

Hence I completely agree with the argument of shifting responsibility to the developers. Seems like MS is selling more of that eyewash again.

Also thought the main street nearby went to a sag. Glad it was just optics.

With all the metaprogramming that is possible, will the matching Cat(age=age) even produce a coherent object that has an age argument passed to __init__? Do keyword arguments in those patterns work on properties? How will it compare to another cat, is that using "is" or __eq__?

Does Cat have to derive from the same type object?

    def Cat(**kwargs):
        return type("Cat", (), {"__init__": lambda self, **kw: ([setattr(self, k, v) for k, v in kw.items()], None)[-1]})(**kwargs)

For anyone trying to run it, the URL in the collect_lyrics.py script should be the band's page on AZLyrics...

I'm not going to assume that the complexity of what's going into these drives was not significantly reduced since, or did it?

Which means that with UBI, I might be less inclined to take risks. I'm not an economist enough to tell what that means, but a rough estimate say it won't increase my income. And at this point of the discussion, we haven't even touched the topic of taxes...

Another band, Moonsorrow, covered a song called "Valkoakaasiat" (white acacia) in a crushingly heavy mood titled "Matkan lopussa" on their Kivenkantaja album. I heard it sung by a Finnish choir and think it may have originated in Russia, from a Soviet movie. I love this stuff, and pairing the modern incarnations with their original counterparts is kind of a cool sport.

One of them was certainly this one: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140627-00/?p=63...
