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

Update May 2017

Eric Bidelman has documented some of the common workflows possible with headless Chrome over in https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome.

Update

If you're looking at this in 2016 and beyond, I strongly recommend investigating real headless Chrome: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkgr/headless/README.md

Windows and Mac users might find using Justin Ribeiro's Docker setup useful here while full support for these platforms is being worked out.

Not intended as a guide for newbies, more like a "cheat sheet" for the somewhat experienced IRC user, especially one who wields some power over a channel.

The Basics

• /join #channel
  • Joins the specified channel.
• /part #channel
• Leaves the specified channel.

// === Arrays

var [a, b] = [1, 2];
console.log(a, b);
//=> 1 2


// Use from functions, only select from pattern
var foo = () => [1, 2, 3];

Using Raspberry Pi Camera with ffmpeg

Capturing video from the rpi camera with ffmpeg can vary from less than 5% to 100% of the CPU (rpi zero) depending on ffmpeg using the hardware acceleration or not.

On many github issues one finds the suggestion of using h264_omx codec to use the gpu - but it does not ship with the default ffmpeg on Raspbian.

Instead I found that one can use the v4l2 driver provided by raspbian to get hardware accelerated h264 output. Also setting the video size will save one from using a (cpu) scale filter.

Create a local WiFi hotspot with custom routing on the Raspberry Pi

This setup lets you:

• SSH into the Pi directly (e.g. ssh pi@raspberrypi)
• Access things running on the Pi (e.g. a web server)
• Set up fun domains that only exist within the local network, and can route to your services running on the Pi
• Prevents any access to the internet which can be useful if you are running the Pi as a tech demo, or for teaching etc

This is a modified/shorter version from the official Pi docs.
