Attempting mysql -u root fails with Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost immediately after doing brew install mariadb and starting mariadb with brew services start mariadb.

To fix it (with MariaDB still running):

1. sudo mysql then enter your Mac user password
2. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'newrootpassword'; replacing newrootpassword with the password you wish to use for the MariaDB root user.
3. Ctrl-C to exit mysql.

You should then be able to connect to MariaDB with mysql -u root -p, then entering the root password when prompted.

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.

Element

Box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent
• elem.clientLeft, elem.clientTop, elem.clientWidth, elem.clientHeight
• elem.getClientRects(), elem.getBoundingClientRect()
