"Getting an absolute URL from a variable string isn't as easy as you think. There's the URL constructor but it can act up if you don't provide the required arguments (which sometimes you can't). Here's a suave trick for getting an absolute URL from any string input... The "burn" element href handles any URL nonsense for you, providing a reliable absolute URL in return."

"There are times when you prefer a given functionality only happen once, similar to the way you'd use an onload event... ...The once function ensures a given function can only be called once, thus preventing duplicate initialization!"

"The debounce function can be a game-changer when it comes to event-fueled performance. If you aren't using a debouncing function with a scroll, resize, key* event, you're probably doing it wrong.
