in EP4, there's this problem where New Thing gets really choppy on firefox after a certain amount of time for no reason. i troubleshot and optimized every function and algorithm involved, to no effect... but today i fixed it by making the container move a little for 10 milliseconds occasionally - ThreadSky

make it get jiggy to guarantee it works always

it's so absurd. we just have to jostle the webrenderer a little every now and then. "hey buddy you ok? dozing off? you gotta focus ok?"

the actual issue is probably rasterization related, but every update reveals some strange new behavior because we use CSS and HTML in more and more cursed ways

Incoherent webrenderers get put into the code wiggler

(to be clear EP4 isn't out yet, this is just something that was so funny and baffling to me I wanted to share it)

CSS and HTML will never cease to amaze me with the amount of obscure bugs they make you run into. Maybe it wasn't a great idea to leave the implementation of the specs vague and up for every browser developer's own interpretation

tf2 engineer type solutions honestly, just hit it a few times, it'll work somehow
