Friday: Me + cross-correlation = less-than-three-symbol

Edit: interesting to note that you can't use < in the title of a post.

Mainly because it's just a super useful technique that can be used to solve problems.  Plus, it's wonderful at rejecting bad values.  Since the bad value isn't going to reinforce anywhere, it has a negligible effect on the final answer.  This makes it great for certain matching problems where values in set A may not be in set B.  If they are there, then you see that, but if they're not, then they don't really penalize things.

Obligatory picture:
"Go ahead, jerk.  Golf.  I fucking dare you."
