The F-Yous won by a wide margin over the You Rocks yesterday, in case you were interested. But it was Monday, and today apparently people are excited about some basketball thing, so if I were to run the experiment today, the results might be different.

In fact, let's do that.

Specific poll results aren't viewable, just the aggregate.

Earlier this week I wrote a program to process ~120000 (n) observed data items in O(n^2) time. Each data observation has about 700 attributes so the table of data is only so-so in length but pretty darn wide.

While it was running, I re-wrote the program using a different algorithm so it would run in O(n) time.

The re-written program has produced an answer already (in under 2 minutes).

The original program is still running and looks like it will finish on, oh, Saturday, give or take.

This, for a geek like me, is a great day.
