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

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

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

Clojure Destructuring Tutorial and Cheat Sheet

(Related blog post)

Simply put, destructuring in Clojure is a way extract values from a datastructure and bind them to symbols, without having to explicitly traverse the datstructure. It allows for elegant and concise Clojure code.

Spike

I looked into the state of GraalVM and Clojure and wrote some small work-related scripts.

GraalVM Build Tools

• Downloaded GraalVM and set $GRAALVM_HOME
• Found two main libraries for building GraalVM CLIs - https://github.com/luchiniatwork/cambada#packaging-as-a-native-image and https://github.com/taylorwood/clj.native-image (or https://github.com/taylorwood/lein-native-image for the lein equivalent). I chose clj.native-image as it seemed more focused on doing one thing well.
• First tried its template example which was easy to follow.
• Then added a graalvm build to one of our small cli tools
• Found it to be pretty straightforward except for a stdout flushing issue that was trivial to fix

Deploying an F# ASP.NET Core app to Azure

Last week I spent a lot of time trying to deploy an F# ASP.NET Core app (a Giraffe app, specifically) to Azure because the information to complete all the steps was scattered in several places. So I'm writing this hopefully it will save the pain to others :)

Preparation

The following steps are mostly taken from this guide and it's only necessary to do them once:

1. Create an account in Azure (or use an existing one)
2. Create a resource group (or use an existing one)

(comment 
This is the easiest and most concise way of calling an external process in Java. The inheritIO methods causes the command to output stdout and errout to the same place as your current process (which most of the times is the console), no need to create mechanisms for reading asynchronously from input streams to get at the information.

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html
)

(def ret (.waitFor (-> (ProcessBuilder. ["gzip" "-t" "g.txt.gz"]) .inheritIO .start)))
