Three guys on math



Coder:

    (In Jeans and T-shirt, next to a cup of coffee) I look down on him (Indicates Excel'r) because I write proper programs.

Excel'r:

    (Trousers, shirt, no tie) I look up to him (Coder) because he writes proper programs; but I look down on him (Hand-Calculater) because he has no graphics. I have a GUI

Hand-Calculater:

    (Student) I know my place. I look up to them both. But I don't look up to him (Excel'r) as much as I look up to him (Coder), because he writes apps and games.

Coder:

    I do write apps and games, but I have a higher barrier to entry. So sometimes I look up (bends knees, does so) to him (Excel'r).

Excel'r:

    I still look up to him (Coder) because although I have easy access, I am vulgar. But I am not as vulgar as him (Hand-Calculater) so I still look down on him (Hand-Calculater).

Hand-Calculater:

    I know my place. I look up to them both; but while I am poor, I am honest, industrious and trustworthy. Had I the inclination, I could look down on them. But I don't.

Excel'r:

    We all know our place, but what do we get out of it?

Coder:

    I get a feeling of superiority over them.

Excel'r:

    I get a feeling of inferiority from him, (Coder), but a feeling of superiority over him (Hand-Calculater).

Hand-Calculater:

    I get RSI.

Python PyPy interpreter in Javascript: Chrome and Edge beat firefox!

.

Firefox 61.0.2:

 (My normal windows browser):



Firefox occasionally and erratically hit >280,000 over the next ten runs.

Chrome 68.0.3440.106 (64 bit)

(My alternate Windows browser)



Chrome usually hit >450,000 over the next ten runs.

Edge 42.17134.1.0

(My second, alternate Windows browser)




Edge consistantly hit >416,000 over the next ten runs.

Conclusion

What conclusion!
It's all a bit of fun :-)
