Viewing profile — mikeyk

ah you’re right, I was off by one! 2008 was the year.

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…

Beautiful tribute — you captured Peter perfectly.

Best I’ve found are the ones at Homestate in LA: https://www.myhomestate.com/

IG co-founder here: users 1 and 2 were our first two attempts at creating users end to end when getting Instagram v0.1 hooked up to the backend we'd written. There was a bug so the…

Hey Aaron, sorry to hear and thanks for posting. We're hiring at Instagram for roles in NYC, SF and Menlo Park; if you/folks on your team want a direct line feel free to email me a…

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 befo…

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…

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 P…

Photos only. Apple's APIs only capture in Wide Color when shooting in photo mode, and their documentation only recommends using wide color/Display P3 for images.

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 devi…

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 Disp…

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 tha…

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 sam…

Here if anyone has questions on the implementation or such.

Had the pleasure of working with Ryan when he was at FB--he's one of the best.

We have a follow up to that post coming soon, stay tuned.
