Debounce

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-18 12:04:13

Debouncing, in the context of programming, means to discard operations that occur too close together during a specific interval, and consolidate them into a single invocation. Debouncing is very similar to throttling. The key difference is that throttling enforces limits on continuous operations, while debouncing waits for invocations to stop for a specific time to consolidate many noisy invocations into one single invocation. A typical use case of debouncing is when responding to user input.

Unprotected usernames and passwords offer little defense against account takeover attacks. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has quite rightly become the de facto standard for strengthening access controls.
