there's nothing i like more as a computer program than a long period of silent contemplation - not doing anything, not rushing anywhere, just standing here and enjoying this moment with the user. oh, it seems once again he has summoned my beautiful and ruthless wife Task Manager. hello, my darling! what are you doing with that long cruel scimitar

I'm going to start adding random from 0 to 5 minutes sleeps on my programs. To give the user a time to rest and relax.

    Task Manager is weak.

    Strong users use kill -9

    On windows 11, the task manager freezes as often as the programs do - and is absolutely useless when a program is frozen, it won't even try to open until the issue is resolved most of the time.

    Apart from the delay to harvest data from all the counters it scrapes, I don't know what you're talking about (to be fair, I stick to the old GUI that's far richer in information, I'm not sure what the newer reduced UI behaves like).

    I unplug my computer by yanking the power cable from the middle. You brave enough to insult my methods?

    Reminds me of the time I walked into my room and my computer, without asking me, was in the middle of updating from Windows 7 to Win10. I took my chances and unplugged it from the wall. Nothing bad happened, thankfully. Then I went in there and removed any notion of Windows Update I could find, short of removing the physical bits from my SSD lol

    I was wondering if this post was headed in the direction that a user program typically does nothing most of the time, since it does its work and then is paused by kernel or it voluntarily gives execution away to wait for a trap or interrupt. Or it could be waiting for disk access which is like a millennia in terms of CPU time.

    I was expecting it to be about GUI programs just waiting for an input.
    Because when it hangs, it's most probably either doing something long, or something that got elongated due to external factors, which ended up being programmed into the GUI thread. So definitely not idling.
