Hi ____,

I appreciate you reaching out. Unfortunately, I can't consider working at Uber because I believe that the company behaves unethically and has produced a culture that is harmful to its employees, to the software engineering profession, and indeed to the public at large. Specifically:

• Numerous allegations of sexual harassment and mistreatment of women employees
• Attempts to evade regulatory investigation and oversight via greyballing
• Running an unpermitted self-driving car program in San Francisco in which vehicles ran red lights, lurched into intersections, and made illegal right turns, putting pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers at risk, and then misleading the public about whether the incidents occurred while the vehicle was under autonomous control
• Reports from former forensic investigator that lack of internal controls allowed employees to track high profile politicians, celebrities, personal acquaintances, and ex-partners
• The participation of Travis Kalanick in Trump's business ad

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

When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
