''10-12:45'' Worked on the enclosing circle problem. Wrote and completed a program which guarantees a perfect outcome but takes forever to run because it checks all possible outcomes. I would like to maybe rewrite it or improve it so that it outputs a good solution, but not necessarily a perfect one so that we can run the program on larger quantities of data. Also today I discussed the cohort data breakdown with Peter and checked through the twitter code. Automate.py seems to be working perfectly now, and I would like someone to go through the content with me so that I can filter it more effectively. Autofollower appears to be failing but not returning any sort of error code? I've run it a few different times and it always bottlenecks somewhere new, so I suspect some sort of data limiting on twitter is preventing this algorithm from working. Need to think of a new one.
'''1/25/17'''
''10-12:45'' Simultaneously worked twitter and enclosing circle because they both have a long run time. I realized there was an error in my enclosing circle code which I have corrected and tested on several practice examples. I have some idea for how to speed up the algorithm when we run it on a really large input, but I need more info about what the actual data will look like. Also, the program runs much more quickly now that I corrected the error.
For twitter, I discovered that the issues I am having lies somewhere in the follow API so for now, I've commented it out and am running the program minus the follow component to assure that everything else is working. So far, I have not seen any unusual behavior, but the program has a long wait period so it is taking a while to test.
