  • Uh… Whatever you say, that’s not really a thing this side of the ocean. We use a lot of different things in pickles - never have I seen anyone use HFCS. Not even in store bought pickles.

    I tried Fanta in the US and it was disgusting compared to the European version. If the corn syrup is what causes that and they also put it in pickles where you come from, I understand why you might prefer the salt type. But I assure you, even store bought vinegar pickles are way superior to salt pickles here.


















  • Exactly. A 10% decrease in run time for a method is a small optimization most of the time, but whether or not it’s premature depends on whether the optimization has other consequences. Maybe you lose functionality in some edge cases, or maybe it’s actually 10x slower in some edge case. Maybe what you thought was a bit faster, is actually slower in most cases. That’s why you measure when you’re optimizing.

    Maybe you took 3 hours of profiling and made a loop 10% faster but you could have trivially rewritten it to run log n times instead of n times…
