Kristi Noem refuses state’s request not to use tear gas near children on Halloween
Carl Gibson, Contributing Writer - Raw Story
Stephan: The defining characteristics of the Trump vassals are their incompetence, their nastiness, and their desire to live the life of the uber-rich, and be protected while doing so from ordinary Americans. No one demonstrates this more openly than Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

Switching to Linux, Delphi wasn’t an option anymore. For some reason I couldn’t use Kylix. Maybe it was already dead by the time I changed OSes. Or I couldn’t get it to run. I just don’t remember. I just recall that the unavailability of Delphi was the reason it took me a while to actually settle on Linux. I then fully switched to Java. The GridBagLayout was my absolutely favorite Swing layout manager. I reckon I used it 98% of the time, because it was so powerful and made the windows resize properly, just as I had learned to do in Delphi shortly before.
Up until discovering Swing, I used Java’s AWT for a short amount of time. That was very limited I think and I hit the limits fairly quickly. Later at uni, we had one project making use of SWT. Didn’t convince me either. I could be wrong, but I think there was also a SWT GUI designer plugin for Eclipse. If there really was, that one wasn’t in the same street as Delphi’s (there must be a reason I forgot about it ;-)).

10 Places Where Folklore Is Alive and Well
Folklore and superstition never really die. We all know someone who still avoids stepping on cracks on the sidewalk. Or someone who refuses to whistle at night.

Upcoming Kwin changes extend battery life
I think most of us are aware that compositors use multiple planes to render our user interfaces, and in the case of KDE’s Kwin specifically, they use two planes – one for the user interface, and one specifically for the mouse cursor. Kwin developer Xaver Hugl has been working on changing Kwin to use more than just two planes, and it turns out this delivers some considerable power use reductions and thus battery life improvements. So, when can you u … ⌘ Read more
