Here comes the Ass-Kicking Laser Algorithm, which has nothing to do with lasers, asses, nor is it really an algorithm: “The name is Kris’. He came up with it in 1998 when I was complaining that the algorithms I was learning about in class didn’t live up to their cool names, like the gift wrapping algorithm and Graham’s Scan. Since any interesting name I could give this library would set the user up for an anticlimax, I figured I’d go all the way.”
