Don't know about your scenario, but how about an master-detail (vertical split screen) endless list (loading more data dynamically when needed/visible) combined with some filtering to easy the pain to begin with?
In order to understand stack overflow, you must first understand stack overflow.

The trouble with the endless list is that the items can be modified, so you certainly want some filtering, and you need to be able to "remember" edits even when the data is unloaded.
Luckily, my list isn't endless though

If you show 100 items on the page then that is 40 pages.
Perhaps not out of bounds but certainly close. If you presume that the data will grow at all then your current scheme will not work.
You need to use real paging. Only return 20/100 items, not 4000.

Yep, so that is why you need to really page it.

The data won't grow all that much, so my current scheme will work at least for the years to come.
I've currently got 8000 items and it still performs really well (except for a lookup, which takes a second to open).
I've found a select module that will handle a lot of the work for me, so I might do this the "will-scale-up-to-infinity" way after all.
That will pose new difficulties, like you're trying to edit data that's not actually loaded yet and may unload when a new page is selected.
Man, I hate paging and the additional work that comes with it

I seriously doubt that it works "really well" for the users that actually need to use the page.
They presumably need to find something on that page and they know what they are looking for. So rather than tell you so you can return just that they must manually scan those 8000 items, one average of course probably at least 4000 lines, to find it.

I'm not sure if I should take that as a complement or an insult!

I didn't get the question. Must be some cultural thing. But you can take it as a compliment.

@OriginalGriff has been involved in a fight and won't be able to attend to his CP duties today sadly ...

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! Was I badly injured? Did the other guy have a knife?
Where am I? If I'm in hospital, I'd probably like to go and visit me ...

I don't know the details, but have observed that Griff's posts are all about violence lately, so things look grim from the sheep's perspective

I'm not sure what's the more frightening stat:
- There have been almost 3 million downloads[^] of the "is-odd" npm package over the last seven days
- That there is an "is-odd" package
- That there are currently five versions of that package
- That it has a dependency - on the "is-number" package (OK, maybe that one has a small reason for existence)

Are any of the versions correct?

Well, fail on Roman numerals and certainly overly fancy IMO (OK, maybe just overly dependent on JavaScript idioms). Business end:
return !!(~~i & 1);
Also fails on currency, and with comma as a thousands separator.
I definitely want to build my next mission critical app by downloading random functions that someone might nuke at a moment's pique.
