My install instruction for a secure Arch Linux (sway) laptop workstation

What's Cool

  • Encrypted root partition
    • AES-256 bit cipher
    • Argon2id variant for PBKDF
    • Sha3-512 bit hash
  • rEFInd bootloader
    • With dreary theme
    • Optimal Settings (optimized for aesthetics, and boot time)
  • Boot into backups thanks to refind-btrfs

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

What forces layout/reflow. The comprehensive list.

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

Disabling Visual Studio Git Provider

Here's how to disable the package that is responsible for loading the Git source control support in Visual Studio. Use at your own risk!

  • Create a file called devenv.pkgundef and place it next to devenv.exe in you Visual Studio's Common7\IDE (you'll need elevation for this)
  • Add the following entries to the file:
[$RootKey$\Packages\{7fe30a77-37f9-4cf2-83dd-96b207028e1b}]
[$RootKey$\SourceControlProviders\{11b8e6d7-c08b-4385-b321-321078cdd1f8}]
  • Close VS if open, open a Developer command prompt, and type devenv /updateconfiguration
