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.

Earth Is Spinning Weirdly Faster, Making Tuesday One of the Shortest Days Ever

Earth's rotation is randomly speeding up, and nobody is quite sure why. These speedups, which have occurred several times over the last few years, haven't had any effect on daily life, but they also haven't gone unnoticed by science. Tuesday, Aug. 5 is the next date when Earth's rotation is expected to speed up, shortening the day by between 1.25 and 1.51 milliseconds. According to Time and Date, the current prediction is set by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and
