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

Encoding Video

Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

Removal of McAfee from OSX

Note: This was written in 2015, it may be out of date now.

There are a lot of commands here which I use sudo if you don't know what you're doing with sudo, especially where I rm you can severely screw up your system.

There are many reasons which you would want to remove a piece of software such as McAfee, such as not wanting it to hammer your CPU during work hours which seems like primetime for a virus scan.

I intend this to be a living document, I have included suggestions from peoples' replies.

	# 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

	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.
