Lightning talk: Time is an illusion
Event loop in JS may be a whimsical beast. It seems to work politely most of the time, but once you change the environment - be prepared for little pranks. I had a simple feature in my application. When user is idle for too long, popup, with countdown to logout, is displayed. It worked everywhere. Almost... Countdown was bugged in Safari, only on inactive tabs. Fortunately, I’ve quickly identified and fixed cause of this bug, so now, counter works properly in all browsers! I’ll tell you exactly what happened so, you too will handle event loops quirks in a breeze.
