Even worse, who comes up with these ideas? Besides my wife that is. (She's German)

Well that explains everything! When I lived in Germany I found they ate all kinds of weird things - the weirdest being some kind of... ok I can't finish, I have to go and throw up!

We would be ordering 2 pizzas, on with and without.

No can or will do.
Anchovies ROCK!

My wife does, and in Germany it seems to be pretty common on the pizza menus.

Only when we also don't put peanut butter (PB) on it, as PB doesn't work well with Sriracha sauce[^].

The guys who just want "meaty pizza with extra meat". I ordered one like that, pretty good.

Hey, you can pile hamd and bacon and ground beef a foot high and it still won't be enough. But cvhicken? It's just wrong.

Can I add pineapple to the "EOADOP" list?

Hate pineapple on pizza!

It has no place there, any more than bean curd does in a bacon sandwich.

Let's add it to the "EOADBNOTP"

Ok, no. Whatever it is, not everyone is going to agree.
But whatever. Let's try to agree, with as many people as possible, that bit-by-bit decoding of Huffman codes is stupid, unnecessarily inefficient, and nothing more than a stepping stone leading to decoding algorithms that are actually useful in practice.
It's not even necessary as a stepping stone, really.
OK, it's sort of silly that it bothers me so much, but it does. Teaching people only the bit-by-bit algorithm and pretending it's The Huffman Decoding Algorithm is like teaching people only about bubble sort, calling it "The Sorting Algorithm", and ignoring the existence of all other sorting algorithms. It's like ordering a pizza and not eating it. It's like buying a fast car and driving it the way your grandmother would. It's like drinking American "coffee" for all your life and never trying Real Coffee.
Let's put an end to it. Whenever someone asks about Huffman decoding, 0) ideally, don't even mention the bit-by-bit algorithm, 1) do mention table-based decoding (there are several flavours of it, take your pick). If you're writing a book/article/blog/whatever, maybe start with the bit-by-bit algorithm, but then be sure to move on to more practical algorithms, or at least mention their existence.

OK, Breath in...hold it...hold it...and release.
You seem a touch upset about this: has someone been Hoffmanning in QA or something?
