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.

Installing node via windows subsystem for linux

Windows 10 version 2004 - Installing Node.js on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL/WSL2)

Windows updated windows subsystem for linux to version 2, as the F.A.Q stated you can still use WSL version 1 side by side with version 2. I'm not sure about existing WSL machines surviving the upgrade process, but as always backup and 🤞. NOTE: WSL version 1 is not replace/deprecated, and there ar

Super minimal macro to simplify dealing with promise/async/await code in ClojureScript
(defn create-function-call [param expr]
"Create an sexp for calling expr with a first argument provided by a promise.
If expr is a list (already in form suitable for a function call), insert the first argument at second position,
otherwise turn expr into a function call expression, unless the function is an fn, which is simply returned.
println -> (fn [param] (println param))
(* 2) -> (fn [param] (* param 2))

An opinionated list of excellent Clojure learning materials

These resources (articles, books, and videos) are useful when you're starting to learn the language, or when you're learning a specific part of the language. This an opinionated list, no doubt. I've compiled this list from writing and teaching Clojure over the last 10 years.

  • 🔴 Mandatory (for both beginners and intermediates)
  • 🟩 For beginners
  • 🟨 For intermediates
