Interesting, what are the steps to reproduce? How much RAM?

[SimonEnsemble]

watched the student open a fresh Julia REPL, then using DifferentialEquations, to see it fail on pre-compilation.
it happens every time, he said.
"I do experience some decent lag." asked student to report back on RAM usage.

also realized I should have them use the more minimal OrdinaryDiffEq for just solving ordinary differential equations... 👀

[ChrisRackauckas]

Any update?

[SimonEnsemble]

student says:

I tried running Julia and retried importing/ using differential equations while monitoring RAM usage on task manager and it never exceeded 70%.

👁️

[ChrisRackauckas]

When was the last time they did ]up? What package versions? ]st -m?

It's hard to do much more with just this information.

[SimonEnsemble]

student did ] up and it was solved. sorry, I should have had them do that. still weird, but glad it finally works. thank you.
