You do realise guns have other uses other than shooting people don't you. There's nothing remotely shocking or abhorrent about guns.

Far better than a macbook I meant.

Forgot to mention the other reason... The magsafe charger is ridiculously poor quality. I've had several of them fail. They all burn the casing off the wire just outside the plug, and then it stops working. The advantage of a magnetic connector isn't worth spending another ton of money to replace it every year.

I have had macbooks for years. I got sick of the really poor performance, constant spinner, etc.

Now, I have a Dell XPS running Ubuntu. It is considerably faster. Far better battery life. Far high spec. Extremely slick display.

Of course it's far better to start several threads, throw all the instructions at the task scheduler, have it execute them in a random order, deal with synchronization and concurrency issues. Of course that's better...

It requires programming.

Starting a thread is usually lazy inefficient programming. IMHO programmers shouldn't be allowed to try using threads until they're actually competent working in a single thread.

You don't need web workers to be "responsive". You just need to cut the job up into bits, and yield to the UI thread every so often.

It's utterly unresponsive because it's not programmed very well. Not because it's not using web workers.

The demo is a great example of why Threads are inefficient for most cases. Better programming is what's needed.
