Only works if the application is amenable to doing that. In this case its not, short of a complete rewrite. The rewrite is under way so yeah some support for parallel processing at the application level can work as a last resort.
But this is the thing. I work on an asynchronous back end application written in javascript (stupid design decision, I wasn't around at the time). It uses all of one core and nothing from other cores so there is little I can do to give it more resources to work on. If the JS virtual machine could cope with working across multiple cores, then all would be good.
Thats what this article is about, and its a good question.
We used to be able to build GUIs with a few thousand lines of code, now you need hundreds of megabytes of js, css, html and whatever else, and everything interacts in strange ways and weeks breaking and getting broken in to. Its a clusterfuck of terrible design.
A co-worker once DOSd our hipchat channel by posting a huge image file. We had to delete the channel and rebuild it from scratch. Atlassian need to face the fact that they are terrible at software.

They could just invite the UK police in to arrest him.

Plenty of porn then.
More cores are worthless for most tasks.
Thats the whole point of the article. Getting more work out of your cores.
Ceres has not enough gravity to be habitable
By what measure? If a habitat in open space can be habitable, then something with 0.02g can be habitable.
Also the moon is really a co-orbiting planet, so we really, seriously, haven't cleared our orbit.
Earth hasn't cleared Luna from its orbit so its not a planet.
It should. Nobody is going to be living on Jupiter, but people will live on Ganymede and Ceres.
Well, we let them do it though.
Your'e a marine biologist, right?
This particular starfish species is an invasive pest in Australia.
Maybe you were thinking of VMS?

For a horrible moment I thought Atlassian was buying slack.
Yeah here in Australia it requires a 60/40 split, in two votes five years apart, so they have to be really sure.
Wikileaks did so much to help the Russians and the Trump campaign, that he is hardly an enemy of the current US regime.
I thought he was padding his resume to get a better job.
Even the article doesn't have any.
There is nothing saying you have to use every bit of it.
Other than the guy you inherited the codebase from.
Pretty much.
They just refused to work without an internet connection.
Oh no, I can see it now. The falcon heavy about to launch. 007 is looking for a way out without getting too singed.
