benhodgson / subdued.js
Created November 6, 2011 12:59
// Hey, @addyosmani! Here's my #protip.
// Of all the JavaScript I've written in the past year, this is definitely
// my favourite. It uses some of JavaScript's awesome functional features
// (namely closure and functions as first-class objects) to create a clean
// interface for building specific event listeners from a general form.
// This particular snippet allows you to "subdue" the behaviour of some of
// the more excitable DOM events such as scroll and resize. With scroll, for
// example, your event listener will be called up to once for *every pixel*
