I came across some unexpected behavior when passing a large millisecond value to setTimeout(). For instance,
setTimeout(some_callback, Number.MAX_VALUE);
and
setTimeout(some_callback, Infinity);
both cause some_callback to be run almost immediately, as if I'd passed 0 instead of a large number as the delay.
Why does this happen?
