I didn't say that and was assuming the opposite, so I think you've misread me.
Obviously if the faster version is substantially more complicated it's a downside.
- lolc 8y ago"Optimized code" has an established meaning in our field. It's beyond simplified. Don't tell me I'm misreading you when I make you aware of the distinction. I've understood what you wanted to say, albeit with difficulty. Just say "Ah, I meant simplified."
- SamReidHughes 8y agoI never meant simplified by optimized. Simplification is what you do (with O(1) effort) when removing the optimization. When they are the same thing, there is no trade-off to be made.
