// Taken from underscore.js (slightly modified to add the getNow function and use const/let over var)
// https://github.com/jashkenas/underscore/blob/master/underscore.js#L830-L874

// Returns a function, that, when invoked, will only be triggered at most once
// during a given window of time. Normally, the throttled function will run
// as much as it can, without ever going more than once per `wait` duration;
// but if you'd like to disable the execution on the leading edge, pass
// `{leading: false}`. To disable execution on the trailing edge, ditto.
