Achtung! likely originates from the same era, propagating through allied machine shops during WWII. And I've seen that in the wild.

They're doing this because success would set up factual predicates to support invoking the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act is invokable when state governments are actively disobeying federal law.

They're not invoking the Insurrection Act right at this moment, because with the facts they have right now, they're not confident they'll win the case in court. (And they may also lose a voting majority in Congress on the matter.)

Folks, yet another Kavanaugh stop for your edification.

ICE has thrown out their sit-up requirement because they can't find recruits who can do sit-ups.

Windows does, in fact, have signals. They're just not all the same as Unix signals, and the behavior is different. Here's a write-up.

You're correct there is no "please terminate but you don't have to" signal in Windows. Windowless processes sometimes make up their own nonstandard events to implement the functionality. As you mentioned, windowed processes have WM_CLOSE.

Memory access violations (akin to SIGSEGV), and other system exceptions can be handled through Structured Exception Handling.

Haha, fixed now. Thanks.

Counterpoint: time. Even playing simple lines, there's a big difference between a groove that is completely locked in, and one that is not. And that difference is all about the precise timing of the hits between the players in the rhythm section. The bass sets the foundation of all of that.

I think a child porn distributor tried to hide his face using that swirl tool. And he found out that Photoshop will unswirl it quite happily.

Don't drive into southern Oklahoma at night.

I can believe they have resistance plans for the really batshit scenarios.

But passively denying nukes or whatever is a heck of a lot better than actively starting shit in DC. That would be a dark road to go down.

Here's some explanation of the Dual Sovereignty Doctrine.

New York State is a sovereign state that derives original sovereign power from the citizens of New York. Meanwhile, the United States is also an original sovereign power that derives its power from the entire people of the United States. (Remember, the Constitution is established by "we, the People". The U.S. is not just an agreement between individual states). Both governments have original power over the geographic territory of New York. The regular powers of government are split between the two according to the terms of the Constitution.

Thus, New York State can exercise its General Police Power to prosecute Mr. Mangione for murder. This power is not granted by the Constitution, but it is recognized by the Constitution. The United States government can simultaneously exercise its power to Regulate Interstate Commerce, by prosecuting Mr. Mangione for the crime of "interstate stalking that caused the death of a person."

That's actually just stealing power from the sun from hundreds of millions of years ago.
