Javascript function debounce and throttle

Difference between Debounce and Throttle

Debounce

Debounce a function when you want it to execute only once after a defined interval of time. If the event occurs multiple times within the interval, the interval is reset each time.
Example A user is typing into an input field and you want to execute a function, such as a call to the server, only when the user stops typing for a certain interval, such as 500ms.

Throttle

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

JSX, a year in

Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components. At our office, we call them stateless and container components (view-controllers if we're Flux). The idea is pretty simple: components can't

A Bash script that lists all unused css classes in html/haml/erb files for rails project (or maybe others depending on project structure)
#!/bin/bash
cat $(find app/assets/stylesheets/ -type f) |
grep -Eo '\.[a-z]+[a-z0-9_-]*' | sort | uniq | sed s/.// |
while read CSS; do
if ! grep -Erqi "([^(remove|has)]?class[(:|=|[:space:]*=>[:space:]*)]*[[:space:]\W]*[(\"|')]*[-a-z0-9[:space:]]*$CSS|\\.$CSS\b)" app/views/ vendor/assets/ app/assets/javascripts/; then
echo $CSS >> unused.scss;
fi
done
