"Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler."
- setra 10y agoHe is saying make the program spend less time computing. Thats what he means by not looking at every byte. The way he does that is by using more complicated algorithms. It's not simple.
- nxzero 10y agoQuote is often credited to Einstein; being "simple" does not mean something is not complex, it means that there's no unnecessary complexity; being "too simple" means necessary complexity was remove. Basically means only do exactly what's required, nothing more, nothing less.
