Does anyone have any suggestions for trying to use element.getAnimations() or getComputedStyles while there's another action spamming recomputes on the page? They return empty in this case, even when behind a requestAnimationFrame.

Who needs a gym when you can just carry heavy boxes several blocks to DHL.

Yeah, absolutely, and I know that's frustrating to not know and not have any visibility other than our comments responding that it's breaking or needs a migration.

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · Aug 20

Sometimes we don't even know how breaking a change is at first. Many times we do, but even then it might be nuanced. Sometimes we didn't think it was breaking, land it, then find out it broke a ton, and have to roll it back. But yeah, otherwise I agree indicators would be nice.

We do our best to communicate our reasoning, but we get some people who are very upset. We see the passion. It's not easy to say no to someone. Just know there are real people on the other end.

The point I'm making here is that if a PR is closed, it's not because it's personal. It's also not because it's not a valuable fix. It's also not because "We just don't want to improve X, Y, or Z". We always do. We just sometimes can't, and it may not be immediately clear why to the contributor.

2

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · Aug 20

Yeah, exactly the kind of thing I mean. Additionally, we WANT to land contributor PRs. We're thrilled people are contributing. We also totally recognize the passion people have for the right solution. We wish it was always as easy as approve and merge.

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · Aug 20

We get the occasional contributor that gets upset when their issue / PR is closed, and I really wish we could show them the details of how hard it would be to land their change. We're truly not rejecting it for no reason.

When open source projects reject a PR, we're not doing it out of animus. Many times people create PRs with valuable changes, and while correct, would break so many people that we can't land it without a massive effort. We can't always commit to that. A lot of factors go into these decisions.

Wonderful! Always great to hear! ♥️

Pshhh... But that requires effort... 😉

This is also my hunch. I don't think it causes reflow. What's strange is it will return an empty array if something else has caused a recalculation of styles. It feels somewhat unsafe to use because of that.

Jessica Janiuk 🏳️‍🌈 @thepunderwoman.com · Aug 5

Does anyone know if `element.getAnimations()` causes a reflow, like getComputedStyles does?

I was in Paris for a long weekend between Friday and Monday. In that time, I walked 82,788 steps for a total of 58.53 km / 36.37 miles. My feet still hurt, but it was worth it.

The only way you can get that is at a code jam.

Very important for TDD. That's how you properly do red green testing.

For those that are trying to learn more advanced JavaScript, currying is when you take a function and then serve it with a creamy sauce and some spices typically with meat, fish or vegetables. Hope this helps!

I went an entire day not noticing I had two different shoes on. Same type of shoe, but different colors. I only discovered it when I took them off when getting home. I'm not sure whether to be embarrassed or impressed.
