Javascript micro-optimizations
NOTE: This document is OLD - and most of the tips here are probably outdated, since newer versions of Javascript have been
released over the years - with newer optimizations and more emphasis on optimizing newly supported syntax.

Example of creating a Docker data volume, exporting it, and re-importing it to a completely fresh container
# Create the container - we run 'echo' in the container, and reuse the same as we will be running later
docker run -d -v /data --name redis.data dockerfile/redis echo Data-only container for Redis
# the data container doesn't show up - nothing is running
docker ps
# will show 'redis.data', but as stopped
docker ps -a
# start redis, attach to 'redis.data'
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 --volumes-from redis.data --name ca.redis.1 dockerfile/redis

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics
  • elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
