FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

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

Money graphic via State of Florida CFO Vendor Payment Search

Graphic via State of Florida CFO Vendor Payment Search (flair.myfloridacfo.com)

This is a quick command I use to snapshot webpages that have a fun image I want to keep for my own collection of WTFViz. Why not just right-click and save the image? Oftentimes, the webpage in which the image is embedded contains necessary context, such as captions and links to important documentation just incase you forget what exactly that fun graphic was trying to explain.

# KiCad outputs Gerber files with extensions that aren't recognized by the most commonly used
# PCB manufacturers. This Python script renames the files to what they expect.
# Just execute this script in your KiCad project directory and the Gerber files will be renamed.
