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

Please petition Github to support HTTPS on github pages: https://github.com/contact

Here's what I wrote:

Obviously, a lot of people want HTTPS for github pages:

• isaacs/github#156

Until recently, that would be difficult to implement but, as it turns out, the implementation is pretty much complete:

• https://letsencrypt.org >* https://github.com/letsencrypt/lets-encrypt-preview

Git is a version control system. Github is a proprietary hosting service that manages central git repositories. A git repository doesn't have to be public, but there are some great free hosts available if you do want to make your work available. Github, obviously, or Gitorious, especially if you're offended by github's ugly gender politics. Github's GUI is much nicer than any generalized Git GUI's I've seen, which is a vote for using Github, but it really doesn't matter.

So here are a few good reasons you should use git to manage teaching materials:

• Greg Wilson explains it pretty well to a Python conference. You have to listen to him talk about a few other things first, but the whole talk is interesting so go ahead.

Create a new bookmark in your browser's book toolbar, but instead of bookmarking a URL, include the following code.  This will create a button which, when-clicked, will add the necessary parameters to include sort-by-date functionality to your Google search.  This button should only be used after you've already searched for something in Google.
