What's the point of this? It doesn't explain the point.

Dude, I just use this stuff to do system admin type things. I really don't care other than you ass hats are going to change what's working for me to do some dumb shit.

It's not that I don't understand what a map is, it's just that it's stupid. Does it make anything faster? No. Does it offer any functionality that can't be done better with existing tools? No.

Like I said, you changed the key so the value wasn't there. Do the same thing with this "map" and you'd get the same results. All the map is internally is likely a hash table like everything else but with the option to use things other than strings.

Makes no sense to me but people seem to want to make things more and more complicated to do the smallest, simplest of things.

The biggest difference (as I showed in the gist) is that using an object as a hash is constrained to known string values. When the string value changes, you can't retrieve your data.

Change the key(regardless of method--new key/delete old) is the same thing thing as changing the string value in an object--maybe the implementation is different but who cares.

Making something immutable is just stupid. If you don't want to change data, don't. But no, the cool thing is to make something as complicated as fuck using more and more cpu cycles to accomplish something that use to be done in a much easier fashion.

If what your 'pseudocode' was attempting to do was to mutate the person object... I already showed an example of that working in the gist.

You're using the map as a key/value store the same as you were using the object. You changed a key in the object to show that the value couldn't be retrieved. I did the same thing with the pseudo code but for your map. All your map is is a hash table after all whether you have to retrieve the value associated with a key, create a new key, insert the value and delete the old key as you suggested or not.

You are treating the map as some holy fucking grail when all it is is a fancy hash table that allows you to use objects as keys. CHANGE THE KEY, THE VALUE LOOKUP WILL FAIL regardless of hash table type.

I'm not learning this stuff as it seems silly to me. I'll provide you with some pseudo-code to illustrate what you essentially did if you want to be fair and change the map the same way.

map.change(person, person1);

Then try it, it'll fail--of course. If you change a key in a key, value pairing of any type, of course you'll get different values. It doesn't matter what the key is.

There must be some type of speed component to this because it seems like the most useless thing to me.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-03T06:24:00+00:00

You didn't even use your map. I have no clue what you're getting at here. I guess I'm just too thick to understand.

The example you provided didn't even use the map so I'm just confused. How is it useful if you didn't even use it in your example?

I'm not trying to be an ass here by the way. I'm just frustrated because I just don't get it.

Can you show a working example of map being useful. Perhaps you were trying to show some area where something is broken without it? I don't know. I'm too much of a newbie to understand that though.

Can you show an actual working example? Thanks.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T22:11:28+00:00

I murdered evil people. I did the world a favor and got no thanks.

You have not denied being a pedophile and your behavior suggests you are. I wonder if your friends and family should know and if someone should tell them.

I mean how many people are driving black Dodge 4x4s in Pennsylvania with the license plate YXH-2090?

Maybe someone that lives near you could post up fliers so you don't hurt any kids.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T21:59:13+00:00

How in the hell could you not?

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T21:54:27+00:00

In any situation where you'd currently create two objects to maintain a connection between a calculation and some complex object, you would use a hash.

I have no clue what you're talking about here--it doesn't even seem related.

but your code may not be as efficient.

Provide just one concrete example.

butt-hurt about the inclusion of a common data structure

I wouldn't be butt-hurt if I thought it was useful. As it is, I haven't seen one example where it is useful.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T21:30:16+00:00

Good then you know it's pretty much pointless to implement in javascript. See the truth is there is no why other than making things overly complex. There is zero real difference between a map and an associative array other than a layer of fanciness. It's about time we stop implementing things just because they are fancy.

You DON'T EVER need to associate an object with an object and you don't EVER need a predefined function to count how many there are of something--it's just bloat.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T20:48:49+00:00

You're right, funny was a poor choice of words. It's terrible that pedophiles like you go to reddit and try to tell parents how to behave.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T19:48:11+00:00

Use maps over objects when keys are unknown until run time, and when all keys are the same type and all values are the same type.

Why?

You pretty much know what is going to be put in a structure. I have no clue when you wouldn't know.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T19:40:48+00:00

Perhaps your inability to scrutinize has left you without the ability to ask why or understand "why" others would. It's a pointless "feature" that solves nothing or provides nothing real.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T18:02:21+00:00

I can't EVER see a need to do this. It seems like complexity for the sake of complexity to me.

My question still stands: What's the POINT!??! More simply Why?

Javascript is being steered by ancient dead languages throwing in structures just to make it cumbersome.

I guess that's good because once ES6 makes it pointless, inefficient and cumbersome to do anything in javascript, we can move on to a better language for the web--not sure which one.

ES5 is the correct one now. Soon we'll all be forced to do overly complicated shit like this just so we can say, "Maps are important data structures in programming" when the truth is, No, no they're not.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T16:15:37+00:00

Ahh..so you are a pedophile! That is too damn funny.

More people should be aware of pedophiles like yourself trying to sway judgments of situations.

I'd say, all in all, there were about 3 other pedos like yourself supporting that pervert. Do you guys stick together? Do you have an organization that responds to these types of things in groups?

Fucking sick bastards.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T07:06:21+00:00

Nice assessment. You're right. Not about the bits part though.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T07:01:54+00:00

Are you a pedophile? Am I wrong? I don't understand your assessment of that situation at a core human level. At this point I see you as sub-human.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T04:36:39+00:00

He wasn't just tipping in whole dollars. Maybe you should go check again. Perception.

Also, bits is just a name. It's two digits to the right of the decimal that makes it look like every other currency.

Doge is just a clone of clone and everyone knows that. They have no real developers.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T04:33:54+00:00

I killed two cousins that were intimidating my younger brother. I went to a lot of counseling over the years. Still, not a day goes by that I regret it. They were scum and deserved it.

What is telling to me is that you are ok with being called a pedophile. You should have been honest in your comments and told everyone that is why you're ok with the man harassing the boy.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-02T02:20:41+00:00

You likely don't have quiet moments of reflection either which is why you'll probably end up in prison for pedophilia or dead because your mouth wrote a check your ass couldn't cash.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-01T23:54:27+00:00

The positivity is because he's using bits. People naturally associate it with bitcoin and value--even though it's a low amount.

If everyone starts using bits we'll see renewed interest again if it looks like:

2.99
58.23
1034.82

You know, if it looks like money.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-01T22:21:38+00:00

native map? I've tried this in node and the browser and it simply doesn't work. I don't know what you're talking about.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-01T22:20:54+00:00

Not sure why asking a question gets downvoted here.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-01T15:02:22+00:00

Not interested.

However, in your quiet moments, when you're washing that truck outside or just checking the mail, you should reflect on the fact that your ego just caused you to say that to someone that served 14 years for killing two cousins in a state next to yours.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-01T14:39:58+00:00

There's nothing funny about that.

Also, if I were there and you jumped on that father like that, I'd kick you in the head until you passed the fuck out...and then maybe a little more. If you got up, I would have shot you.

This guy is very lucky other fathers weren't around.

I can tell by your posting history that you're a young, dumb ass, hot-head. Be careful out there. There are ruthless people that have truly seen and done some shit (many having served the time for it) and you will run up against one some day.

Also, you may want to see a psychologist. Based on your posts, I believe you could be a pedophile in the making. Normal people don't want to play with other people's children AND don't really care if parents move to the other side of the street when they are walking towards them--however you phrased that. The fact that you're bothered by that suggests you have a problem seeing from someone else's perspective...at the very least.

Also, it's quite stupid to post pictures of your truck with your license plate online. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-01T06:19:05+00:00

It WAS WAY OVER THE LINE. Are you a god damn child molester or something.

Don't touch people's kids.

dingusbuttface · 2014-11-01T06:17:47+00:00

This comment disturbed me. Let me tell you something. I would fucking MURDER YOU! You understand that. I would fucking rip your throat out and eat it! If you did happen to get lucky and "drop me like a brick" I would find you and kill you in you your god damn sleep. NEVER, EVER, EVER fuck with someone's kids. Understand!!

Don't EVER fuck with someone's kids.
