Often, as soon as you rest, your mind starts to “helpfully” come up with ideas to help fill your time. One of the invasive thoughts that kept prodding my brain during my break was about mo

Debounce

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-11 06:04:13

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.
