When I clicked on update, it says 500 Server error. Anyone successfully registered?
Me too. I can't update bio since a week ago
Now it's fixed
Now it's not :(
Not yet, I have a tough time deciding on this year's fake account credentials. For example: should I go with the e-mail
@national.shitposting.agency
,420blaze.it
or some of the less politically correct ones?https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vpYfjZBKrTA/hqdefault.jpg
I think I may have crossed a line with this, and the next few comments.
I hope Xellos took it in light spirit, else, apologies :)
I'm not :D
Hmm....was it another joke that no one thinks is funny...
"I don't laugh": the comment
I don't wanna tell you what to do but you might like this idea:
Laugh more
Shitpost less :D
It's a pity that you don't follow your own idea.
Thanks Xellos, for a much needed intervention
Google Hashcode is only for Europe, Middle East and Africa. That is sad.
Where are the problems for hacker cup ? Nothing on the facebook page ! {EDIT] : messed up timezones , please ignore this comment !

Less than 12 hours away: https://www.facebook.com/hackercup/round/904578626288920
Where did you find information about date of the Deadline24 Quals? I can't find it on its site...
Is it the case that everybody who solves at least 1 question in qualifiers proceeds to round 1?
Yes. You only need to solve 1 question in qualifiers to proceed to round 1.
Can you please also tell me(if you know) if their judging servers are fast like codeforces servers? I don't want to get TLE because of stupid optimization errors. How many cycles per second do they process?
It works like Google Code Jam — you download the input set and upload then your source code and output, which is judged after the round is over.
they have a 6 MINs time limit for each question overall.
LOL 6 minutes? The constraints are too low for 6 minutes.
You must submit within 6 minutes, but is 6 minutes also a time limit for the problem.... even brute force solutions will pass.
The source codes you submit aren't really tested (thats the reason they ask for a output file). They ask for the code maybe to spot cheaters .
There is a logical problem there, you see. Unless they compile and run my submitted code, how will they know that the output file has been generated from my code? I can just take my friend's output file and a bogus near-correct code which I wrote on my own to qualify :)
It puzzles me that they won't compile our codes. Compilation will probably be done round 1 onward.
You cant just take your friends output file . How do you know that you both will get the same input file ?
Apologies, for I never competed in hackercup before. I can take his code and generate my output from his code, but submit my wrong code along with my correct output.

Does anybody know when TCO2016: Algorithm will start?
