BTW, before someone screams whataboutism: adjusting your worldview according to facts and applying your moral standards to all countries is not whataboutism. Its a prerequisite to being able to morally condemn any action.

Oh wow, a country BULLYING its neighbors. Imagine a country doing that. Luckily, the US never does something like that. Or imposes sanctions on a country half a world away, sanctions which the entire world has to adhere to unless they want to lose US trading all together.

Some of these talking points fall apart upon typing them, let alone posting.

The US already had to deal with the corporate cities problem, btw. Its nothing new. First, as a tragedy, now as a farce.

>>Whats the point of being a billionare if you cant even build your own city?

Are you even hearing yourself? Cities existed before billionares did. Society existed before pricks with god complexes started thinking that order and society organized the other way around.

Get off from Rand. Learn some actual history.

With all due respect: he seems to lack basic empathy and understanding for most office workers.

When you have the viewpoint of the maverick freegunning CEO/main architect, and you have a direct stake at what you do, of course you can switch the tasks up to make everything fresh. After all, no one is going to control you in any way whatsoever.

That does not go for anyone with a well-defined set of responsibilities,placed, say, in an "agile" environment. And besides, working above and beyond your means there just means you get more and more tasks in exchange, nothing else. Yaay?

"And the west for having them" - nope. Thats a propaganda line by the US goverment, and lately by the EU right wingers. There are much better reasons to despise the West than the percieved "freedom" they have. Like their actual acts of genocides and exploitation.

I am irrationally happy about this.

This is a misunderstanding of how Arrays work. When you have an object with exactly two keys, it is very fast to iterate through them.

So what this code demonstrates is that if you have to look up a billion keys, that is going to be slower than if you have to look up two keys for an object.

Additional reading for this: https://v8.dev/blog/fast-properties From this article:

const sparseArray = []; sparseArray[9999] = 'foo'; // Creates an array with dictionary elements. In this example, allocating a full array with 10k entries would be rather wasteful. What happens instead is that V8 creates a dictionary where we store a key-value-descriptor triplets. The key in this case would be '9999' and the value 'foo' and the default descriptor is used. Given that we don't have a way to store descriptor details on the HiddenClass, V8 resorts to slow elements whenever you define an indexed properties with a custom descriptor:

Yep. It makes big money, but it is literally gambling with people's sanity.
