Worked for me!
I actually had to replace my iPhone at the Genius Bar (I think more than once) in order to get one that worked better.
Since that was over 5 years ago it is very unlikely that Apple will now decide to offer software calibration in the OS.
As for this comment from the article
> Unfixable sensor problems, however, would put a dent in Apple’s reputation as the company that sweats the small stuff to get every last detail right.
I am pretty sure iOS 7 already did that.
There are a lot of other things going into each scene other than just the rendering (storyboarding, animating, lighting, etc) so it would be silly to wait for the entire film to be done and then render all at once.
Also the 11.5 hours is the average time. Single frames could take up to 80 or 90 hours to render according to that article.
So as for how many they do in parallel that would be very interesting to find out, but I would guess possibly all the frames devoted to a single scene so that would be around 5,000-10,000 frames at once which seems somewhat reasonable considering they have 12,500 cores.
Instead of giving away your personal information to one place, why not give it away to 10 or 20 places?
I think it makes sense to use the best tool for the job. At least when it comes to email, maps, and search I would argue that Gmail, Google Maps, and Google are the best services by a long shot.
Not to knock Duck Duck Go, but it would drive me crazy to have to do multiple searches or go through more results just to find something I could find on Google in the first half of the first page of results.
Sure I would get used to it eventually, but it's not worth losing my own time/productivity over.
This seems like a bug in Safari though and not an issue with Google's URLs although I admit they are not too pretty.
An alternative to trying every link would be to try a different browser.
The only thing I would suggest is like @tav said. They should change "Popular repositories" to "Featured repositories" and give users the option to edit the list. It could offer sort options (show 5 most recently active, show 5 most popular, show 5 most recently created) and also give an option to manually select which 5 to showcase and put them in a specific order.
In my case popularity works fine, but considering this is a way to showcase yourself offering some additional control is not the end of the world in my opinion.
When you first scroll down on the logged in homepage (feed) you get to the footer. It is only after you click "Load more videos" that we begin infinite scrolling.
I think this makes it less intrusive since the user is initiating that they want to see more (rather than clicking on a link in the footer for example).

On top of that we use html5 push state to make sure that the current url is updated as you scroll up and down the page with infinite scroll.
I'm not saying this solution is perfect, but it has seemed to work fine for us.
One of the core ideas that I think really made it great was there were only two privacy options (if I remember correctly). Make your profile visible to just your friends, or just people in your network (nyu.edu email in my case). You could see pictures and names of other people, and you could see a limited profile if they sent YOU a friend request, but that was it.
Another thing is it was really easy to find people with common interests. For example if you listed a certain movie or book you liked, you could click on it in your profile and it would show you everyone else who also liked it (ordered by your friends first, then people in your network ordered by friends in common, then locked profiles of people outside your network).
It's a shame that they have gotten so far away from what they once stood for.
As for WeakMap, I wasn't even aware of that, looks awesome.
It's hard to focus on a moving target and "Paged" feels more natural to me since that is how sheet music works. It allows you to look ahead without worrying about the upcoming notes moving.
Particularly I don't like that the activity is now hidden on profile pages. I often like to look at people's activity, and it bothers me that it is an extra click away every time now.
I miss the blue to distinguish your own commits from commits by other users.
Information that used to be available right on top such as organizations, and people the user is following are now harder to find or below the fold (on my macbook air 11").
Also now that the filters on top have more emphasis (All, Public, Private, etc) I think they should remove ones that are not useful. For example I don't have any private repos or mirrors so I feel like there shouldn't be links to empty pages, but this is a minor detail.
On top of that I think the page itself has a bit too much white space. It feels a bit plain to me.
Mousetrap defaults to trying to use character codes whenever possible, and for keys that don't send character codes (such as arrow keys, space bar, enter, tab, etc) it falls back to using keycodes.
So it should handle all the annoying stuff,cross browser inconsistencies, etc. for you.
It looks like everything is now starred but unwatched so no one will receive any updates on the feed anymore unless they manually go through all their repos and choose to watch them.
With a talk bubble or a picture of a robotic head you can guess, but it is not immediately clear.
It's interesting because it seems like Apple wants to avoid confusion for users thinking the app is Siri by hurting the user experience in each of these apps.
In which case it should be a pretty painless fix.
