i've optimized everything i can think of in ditherinator, and the mode that samples the source image to make a reduced palette is still pretty slow and only borderline usable to move the sliders around in realtime

but as a side effect pretty much any other mode is now a lot faster

is the only way to decouple blocking procedural js from blocking the DOM really by using webworkers

i was trying to be fancy and using CIE94 to calculate distances in ditherinator but now i'm thinking i should just go with CIE76

perceptual color distance is a fuck

i think there's something wrong with my code, conceptually...

notice blue blob in the background and how it gets turned into a red patch

if i increase the error diffusion dithering it only gets worse

ironically this seems to be an issue with the CIELAB distance rather than the error diffusion algorithm itself

much to fix before #ditherinator v0.4

@budsofstone not just in one place but highly integrated. when i'm making git commits i can see what the diffs were within the file i'm editing, instead of switching to a different window, looking at a diff that does not look like where i edited the file, and losing that short-term memory

@budsofstone don't use it as much but being able to call tasks like build, run tests

@budsofstone i like vscode's integration with WSL, git, custom extensions, linters, finding function definitions and references (which is language-dependant), etc

wikipedia is really falling into hard times huh

here's how easy it is to make your own #ditherinator palette image:

palette images are sampled for unique colors used in the image, in the order they are found (left to right, top to bottom), regardless of image size or quantity of each color

yyyyesssss this will do (we are sampling from the source image for the reduced palette)

oug should be recharging but am not ​

im going to have to relearn k-means clustering

@CheRosach oohhh that's so cool!

i hope it's ok that i wanted to run that through the #ditherinator :)

yes #ditherinator is a verb i made the software i make the rules
