I have seen that some activities tire you out, while others do not. Reading, slowly but steadily, tires me. I might then need to doze off for a few minutes to resume. Certain other activities, on the other hand, keeps me awake, like mindles

Native widgets which used to be wxWidgets' strong point, is now its Achilles heel? It is saddening, but the world moves on I guess. Sadly the same applies to Lazarus/LCL too. Not only that, I had a nasty surprise recently when Fed
