I think the underlying question should be, "Why are fewer and fewer women are attracted to the field?"

Where do you see hostility? I run an open-source organization and it just so happens that not a lot of women programmers frequent on IRC which is where we have most of our discussions. I just don't see many women in the field let alone

Cute concept.

I think we could help improve the field by making CAPTCHAs with these kinds of questions.

Cool and well-designed but I count three clicks.

In practice, when people use our library, we recommend that the test is called only when it's needed, instead of directly when the page loads. There are also other guidelines as well such as always allowing the user the manually edit the nu

I'd be interested to know who is getting very close to accurate results on their machines. (Being off by 1 or 2 is not a big deal since CPU availability is more important to a developer than the number of CPU cores)

ernesth and I have the same problem on Opera. I'm looking into why that is.

Weird. Core Estimator performs very strangely on Opera, we're trying to find out why.

I did find this interesting piece of information. > In a compute-bound application running on an N-processor machine, adding additional threads may improve throughput as the number of threads approaches N, but adding additional threads

Thanks for the results it really helps us. We have a lot more planned to improve Core Estimator's accuracy coming up.

If you read the blog you would know why this information is useful :) Web workers make it possible to do parallel computation with JavaScript, and knowing the right number to spawn helps to make sure resources are being taken advantage of.

On some machines it is likely that the result you get the second time will be different from the first. And you're right, we designed the script to find the optimum number of web workers to use in parallel, that's what it's primary purpose

Yeah. There are a lot of outside influences that can affect the results of the estimation. Unfortunately this is the only way to go until browsers vendors adopt navigator.cores. Future versions will be able to cope better with this by takin
