  • It not happening to everyone doesn’t mean that it’s not an issue.

    Years back there was an issue with a windows update that eliminated the “Documents” folder on some people. I updated my computer and the folder was still there. It didn’t happen to me, but it did happen.

    There are millions of possible computer configurations. Some issues may happen in some computers but won’t happen in others.

    Even if 2 people have the same computer, they might have followed a different path to reach the current version of windows. Some might’ve started at win 10 and upgraded from there, others might’ve installed the latest version of win11.

    All those things might result in bugs happening in some devices but not on others.




  • You can guarantee it? Are you a Microsoft Windows developer? In that case, I’d like to fill in a bug report.

    When I turn my machine on, without me doing anything at all, task manager would display >20GiB used. I don’t have many applications to run at startup. At most iCUE (Corsair keyboard drivers). I don’t think iCUE is using 20GiB if RAM.

    Then, I open 2-3 vscode instances. Each instance launches its own rust-analyzer, since I’m looking at 3 rust projects simultaneously.

    Each rust-analyzer instance uses ~3GiB of RAM.

    That is enough to reach 100% ram usage and the computer becomes noticeably slower, even if CPU usage is at 7%.

    Tell me, Microsoft Windows developer. Why does my machine grind to a halt when I use ~10GiB of RAM, if win11 says that the recommended amount is 16GiB and I have 32? 10+16 = 26. I should have a minimum of 6GiB left. The math ain’t mathing.







  • It’s a simple concept.

    You need at least 2 people to form a conversation.

    One of them has Whatsapp, Telegram, signal, MSTeams, smoke signals and those flags that ships used to communicate.

    The other only has Whatsapp.

    They are going to communicate over Whatsapp.

    Even if the dude with 1000 communication methods meets another dude with 1000 communication methods, they are going to use WhatsApp, because they are used to using Whatsapp with everyone, so it’s just easier to have everyone on WhatsApp.








  • It’s not anecdotal fallacy if the study you linked to shows that Amsterdam -> Brussels would be a train between the 2nd and 3rd less delayed countries at 93-88% of trains on time.

    And I don’t see Spain in that list which is the other country mentioned.

    Germany is known to have a shit train system, which brings the European average down by a lot. That doesn’t mean that your European train will be delayed. If you don’t touch a German (and apparently, italian) train, your experience will be way better than the average.
