Problem

When I click on links from Slack or Outlook on MacOS they open in seemingly random browser windows/profiles. This is annoying.

Solution

Open links in a particular google chrome profile window. Be less annoyed.

1. In Chrome, visit chrome://version and find the desired profile name. Mine was Default. Copy that profile's directory name, like Profile 2 or Default, not the profile's vanity name you see when you click on your profile icon in the browser.
2. Install Finicky: brew install finicky. After install it should be running and you should see the icon in the upper toolbar.
3. From the Finicky Toolbar Item, click > Config > Create New
4. Edit the new file ~/.finicky and make it look something like this, filling in your profile name:

brew install caddy mkcert nss dnsmasq

mkcert -install

mkcert '*.app.test' '*.cdn.test'

# rename the certs and move them under /usr/local/etc/caddy/certs

cat <<EOF > /usr/local/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
*.app.test:443, *.cdn.test:443 {

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.

Element

Box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
• elem.clientLeft, elem.clientTop, elem.clientWidth, elem.clientHeight
• elem.getClientRects(), elem.getBoundingClientRect()

# Set this to the name of your VirtualBox host-only interface.
# dnsmasq will listen for DHCP and DNS requests on this interface as
# well as the loopback:
interface=vboxnet0

# This option will be forced anyway on OS X so set here to avoid a warning:
bind-interfaces

# Enable the integrated DHCP server, you need
# to supply the range of addresses available for lease and optionally
