This doesn't work for touch-based devices, unfortunately.

You can prevent it from advancing by keeping you cursor in the carousel body. That doesn't really make up for the fact that a carousel is a poor UX choice, but it's a handy trick for carousels that advance too fast and it works on most implementations.

Edit: Now that I think about it, using the cursor hover to prevent the carousel from advancing seems like an anti-pattern. If most users are like me, they will move their cursor out of the way of the carousel to prevent obscuring the content. I have seen users who like to trace and/or select the current text they are reading, so maybe it works better for them.

Am I correct in saying that the shuffle algorithm is flawed? It looks to me like it swaps each card iteratively with a random card in the deck. This means that some cards are likely shuffled more times that others, and some sequences are then more common than others.

I agree with the parent poster that the article is US pop-culture centric. I just wanted to point out that the data isn't, necessarily, strictly US specific. I also felt that that the parent comment was a bit snarky given that this website has a large US audience, and US music and pop-culture are popular around the world.

While the author does refer to US music charts as a reference to past popularity, I don't see any indication that the Spotify data was US only.

What happens if you are poor and in a hurry?

Sounds like you've implemented a type of JWT: http://openid.net/specs/draft-jones-json-web-token-07.html

I found this very difficult to read. The text is too large to fill such a wide section.

That 30% faster figure is because the iPhone is rendering the scene at a lower resolution than many of the phones with larger, 1080p screens. Look at the next graph where each phone is rendering a 1080p scene to see the difference.

Thanks for the correction.

The GPU in the PS4 is, essentially, an Nvidia 7900-class GPU. Anandtech recently did a comparison of old PC GPUs to current SOCs and the results are surprisingly close. I'd imagine Snapdragon 800 and Oscar close the gap considerably. http://anandtech.com/show/6877/the-great-equalizer-part-3/3

edit: I'm stuck in past. This comment is about PS3 not PS4.

The rate that the battery charges is independent from the capacity of the battery. Assuming the new tech is 10x less energy dense and has a 10x faster charge rate, if you compare one of these new batteries with capacity equal to that of the Model S battery, the new battery will charge 10x faster but occupy 10x the volume, since it is less energy dense. A new battery of this kind that occupied the same volume as a Model S would contain 10x less energy than the Model S battery, but it would charge to full capacity 100x faster than the Model S.

The problem here is that a resume with no spelling errors says nothing about a persons coding ability. The resumes without errors are lacking the negative indicator of poor spelling/formating. A strong Github profile, however, consists of many code samples and is a positive indicator of coding ability, making it a much more useful metric. This doesn't imply a knock against programmers with no Github profile, simple a leg up for those who do.
