- No graphs yet. But I now have (very inefficient) historical trends calculations working in raw form: http://t.co/6rEmW1j0If 20:48:19
- Next up, automatic recalculation (currently I manual trigger that), then actual graphs, then I’ll probably need to tackle efficiency. 20:49:53
- The current way I am calculating is horribly inefficient. I have it set as a back end process so won’t trigger on web views, but still bad. 20:50:37
- It recomputes all candidate combos, even if there are no new relevant polls, and recomputes all the historical stuff, even if not changed. 20:51:30
- Also reexamines all polls and recalculates all the state averages for each data point, even though I have that some of that info elsewhere. 20:53:40
- Takes over 30 minutes to calculate everything, even with limited poll data. Will get much worse in 2016. So I will have to make it smarter. 20:54:55
- There are plenty of things I can think of to make it smarter & faster. But I wanted to get something quick&dirty done first, optimize later. 20:56:26
- But wow is it doing a lot of repetitive calculations that it would be better off only doing once and then using the stored results… 20:57:05
- Anyway, I spent about 6 or 7 hours on this today. I’ve got some garage cleaning work calling my name now. More poll stuff some other time. 20:58:56
