Sublime vs. Textmate Notes

In TextMate, I could press CTRL-OPTION-SHIFT-<some letter> and a popup would appear showing the languages starting with that letter. So if I pressed CTRL-OPTION-SHIFT-J, javascript, java, and json would be choices, and I could press 1 to get javascript, etc. This made it so, even if the file was a .md markdown file, I could quickly switch to javascript to get some syntax highlighting as I wrote some sample code.

In Sublime Text 2 I can do vertical block selection, but I can't do it the way vim does, and this feature has been requested before:

In vim you can do CTRL-V then navigate up/down to select a block, then insert some text, for example:

Viewport meta tags used by the 20 sites that are listed in Social Driver's "20 Best Responsive Web Design Examples of 2012"

Intro

http://socialdriver.com/2012/07/20-best-responsive-websites/ lists 20 sites that are supposedly best-in-class when it comes to responsive design techniques. I had a look at the viewport meta tags used in these sites.

Findings

  • All sites use width=device-width, with in most cases an additional initial-scale=1. This is good practice.

However:

  • 8 sites turn off pinch-zooming by setting maximum-scale to 1, or using user-scalable=no. While there are some corner use cases for this, it does not make sense to do this on text-heavy sites as it impairs accessibility.
  • 3 sites use semi-colons as delimiters between viewport values. While this works in newer mobile browsers, it's not officially supported, and breaks in older mobile browser versions.
  • 1 site has 2 viewport meta tags (with different values) in the source...

WebKit image rendering performance

Rendering performance on WebKit

Please send any feedback on this article to Klemen Slavič

UPDATE: I'm currently in the process of updating the article, as my assumptions about the inner workings of WebKit are incorrect. I will update this article with the relevant facts and provide concrete information in place of my guesstimates below.

I've recently stumbled upon an interesting discovery regarding image rendering performance in most WebKit browsers. Namely, I've been developing a sprite animation component to implement a GIF animation replacement with better compression and performance, where I noticed that some animations appeared to be janky when using multi-frame spritesheets and clipping rectangles. Here's what I found out.

But first, a quick rundown of the basic functioning of the WebKit engine as I understand it.

How to make faster scroll effects?

How to make faster scroll effects?

  • Avoid too many reflows (the browser to recalculate everything)
  • Use advanced CSS3 for graphic card rendering
  • Precalculate sizes and positions

Beware of reflows

The reflow appens as many times as there are frames per seconds. It recalculate all positions that change in order to diplay them. Basically, when you scroll you execute a function where you move things between two reflows. But there are functions that triggers reflows such as jQuery offset, scroll... So there are two things to take care about when you dynamically change objects in javascript to avoid too many reflows:
