Throttle and debounce examples
// Run the function as soon as it's called, but prevent further calls during `delay` ms
// Example: function.throttle(200) will only run function() once every 200 ms.
// Useful, for example, to avoid constant processing while typing in a live search box.
Function.prototype.throttle = function(delay) {
var fn = this
return function() {
var now = (new Date).getTime()
if (!fn.lastExecuted || fn.lastExecuted + delay < now) {
fn.lastExecuted = now
