I took CS193P when it was first offered in 2007; one of my favorite classes at Stanford because it was so hands-on. At the time few people had iPhones, so everyone in the class got a free iPod Touch for development. My final project was a p

Browsers are all over the place, unfortunately. It's part of why sRGB because the only reasonable color profile for Web use. I think we'll see wide color become common in apps before the Web.

Just P3, though the wider gamut available in our graphics operations should benefit photos brought in using Adobe RGB too since iOS is fully color managed.

We built this in already! We don't have a "1x" or "2x" indicator, but the dual lens camera is fully used in Instagram now and will do the smart transition between 1x>2x optical and 2x+ digital zoom.

It's getting used more and more in our app--few recent examples are the "Promote Post" UI if you're a business account and want to promote a post from inside Instagram, the Saved Posts feature, and the comment moderation

I used the same approach as the Webkit image, so the same applies here, too (it's also why we only serve Display P3 photos to iOS clients with wide color screens, most Android devices would treat them incorrectly)

Good to know--I didn't run it through my Pixel. Some devices will do a relative projection from Display P3 to sRGB, which means that it will look "relatively" like it would in Display P3 but projected onto the sRGB color spac

Good q. All of it is still Objective C and C++; there's a few blockers to starting to move to Swift, including the relatively large amount of custom build + development tooling that we and FB have in place.

We started using OpenGL in 2011. Our CPU-based image filters used to take 4+ seconds with pixel-by-pixel manipulation, and now can render 30+ times per second. If you have some sample images where the current image pipeline is going wrong l

Yep, these were all A/B tested and the results were statistically significant.

We load a small thumbnail; it's the extra memory allocated to strings that was the main factor that helped when we reduced the # of comments sent down.
