Glad we solved glitchy scrolling for now (the title of this blog post was “on rendering diffs”, not “searching diffs”). Browser search on a 36 million line diff would not by great, but it’s something we hope to have a solution for. One step

Would love to see a website that makes everything DiffsHub does without making any of the work necessary. Making it all obsolete would be a huge step forward for the web. We support diffs that exceed 36 million lines, with syntax highlighti

Appreciate it, thank you!

Hey thank you, appreciate your kind words! I don’t write much and was quite an effort to get all this written out!

I probably didn’t explain this well enough, but your render times always have to be within the frame buffer (16.6ms for 60hz or 8.3ms for 120hz). Under normal circumstances even if you occasionally blow a frame buffer, with the over-scroll

Yeah, my bad. Sorry i wasted your time :(

Yup! You can pick from a bunch of different themes and use css variables to override the core colors as well!

Maybe i need to buy one of these devices to test. Just to be clear tho, we don't actually scroll jack, native scrolling works as it should and content should move with normal gpu composited scroll. That said, it's possible that lo

> disagree with the theory that scrolling frame rate doesn't need to be smooth for scrolling to feel smooth It's possible you might be misunderstanding what I was trying to say here because 120hz scrolling on a 120hz device wa

Naw, the truth is I'm not really smart or intelligent enough to build a semantic diff system. For that you'll need to wait on a post from one of our smarter devs, this was a post about rendering diffs in a browser.

Yes and no. It would help to improve things a bit when it comes the measure/reconciliation phase (unclear to say how much). However we've already done a pretty good job around batching writes vs reads. However passing a million li

Performance and optimization is one of many pieces, but yes, it's a meme to render 500k lines. That said though, and maybe I didn't say it well in the post, the more performant and optimized your tool is, the less burden you put o

One of our next big projects is actually to support semantic diffs, which I think will be a lot more applicable to what you're asking for here. Currently diffs just takes a normal git patch file, or generates one from 2 versions of a f

A bit of a technical deep dive into how we built CodeView, a review surface that can handle rendering diffs of immense size, all in a browser.

Yet another Vim bashing post by the Floobits bros. It's getting old.

Well, you're just wrong, simple as that. If you can't see the difference, I suggest you try educating yourself. I'm not going to waste my time with your factually incorrect pedantry.

Anecdotally, I've only heard a lot of people complain. Comparing this to a witch hunt appears pretty absurd. Nobody is physically attacking him for what he believes. Free speech is a 2 way street. I can disagree with him and express th

You're still stretching the point. If you have an issue with the term marriage, then you're coming at it from a religious perspective. There's separation of church and state, it's a constitutional thing. If you want to r

Sorry, you're just wrong. There is no language in prop 8 that has to do with the concept of civil unions. All it DID do was define marriage as being between a man and a woman. Any debate about marriage and a government's role in i

These arguments are not inline with the real problem I have with Brendan Eich. He ACTIVELY contributed to a political campaign who's goal was discriminate against a particular group of people. This is a civil rights issue, it has nothi

My understanding is that Vimproc can only kick off async processes, it can't actually call back into the main Vim thread once a process has completed.

It should be noted that ImageAlpha, the app under the pgnmini.com url, provides a GUI to to PNGQuant and PNGNQ. While a command line tool is useful by itself, using lossy compression is best done in a GUI to determine how much compression d

How does anyone consider this sane javascript? Is this what the community has been reduced too?

by amadeus 13y ago
I'm surprised file size hasn't been mentioned as a mother major reason. With tools like ImageOptim, and ImageAlpha, you can make PNGs INSANELY small with 0 or an imperceptible loss in quality. For example, PNGs do insanely well wh
