I’ve been working on this puzzle where an image is split into pieces and scattered. It’s really fun to try to put it back together. I’d love to hear how you approach it in the comments. Orz Tiles Puzzle (0, 0) Day 7

UPD: btw the puzzle is gonna be different every day and for each tile, so browse the gallery for more. Don’t forget to leave an orz in the comments if you liked the idea.

Orz Chat CLI Is Here!

Hey everyone,

We are sure you haven’t forgotten about Orz Chat — the browser version is still available.

But today we have something new: the Orz Chat CLI. Something that nobody asked for, yet here it is.

Now you can chat directly from your terminal without opening a browser.

Installing Orz Chat CLI

Install globally via npm:

npm install -g orzchat-cli

If you are seeing permission issues, you might need to use sudo:

sudo npm install -g orzchat-cli

Usage

Run the following command to start chatting:

orzchat

This will launch the Orz Chat CLI application directly in your terminal.

npmjs.com/package/orzchat-cli

Leave an orz in the comments to support the project!

orzchat.com

We are proud to introduce the first actually Orz Chat.

You simply open the site, and boom — you’re instantly matched with a random person to chat with. No sign-ups, no waiting, no fuss.

Since it hasn’t been exposed to the whole internet yet, chances are high you’ll be talking to fellow orz people.

Try it now and see who you meet.

If you like the idea, drop an orz in the comments.

UPD1: New sharing option!

Now you can share your chat history with friends or save interesting conversations! Just click the Share Chat button in the interface and get a link to send or keep. The text is automatically formatted to show who said what.

UPD2: Orz Chat CLI

Now you can chat directly from your terminal without opening a browser, just type orzchat in terminal to start chatting.

UPD3: Notifications

We know it is frustrating to visit orzchat.com when it is quiet, and much more fun when the site is packed. That is exactly why we designed a brand new notification system! Just accept it to get an alert whenever there is a surge of users online, so you always join the chat at the best possible time.

UPD4: Private Rooms

Also, here is why it is safe:

Orz Chat Is Safe! (it really is)

Am I the only one who thinks that the Codeforces talks section needs a redesign? Although it's a great platform for contestants to discuss problems and solutions, I find the current design to be cluttered and overwhelming.

Navigating through the talks section can be difficult, especially when trying to find relevant discussions and solutions. The posting and replying interface can also be confusing for newcomers.

A redesign could make it easier for everyone to participate in the discussion and ask questions. Additionally, a more active moderation system would help keep the discussions organized and prevent spamming or inappropriate content.

Overall, I believe that a redesign of the talks section would benefit the Codeforces community and make it a more welcoming and engaging platform for all. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to talk to you today about a very important topic: the best number in the world.

Now, I know this might seem like a silly topic, but hear me out. Numbers are more than just digits on a page. They have power, meaning, and significance. And today, I want to make the case that the number 998244353 is, without a doubt, the best number in the world.

1. 998244353 is a prime number, and you know what they say about prime numbers... they're like the popular kids in high school, everyone wants to be their friend!

2. If you write 998244353 upside down, it still reads 998244353! Talk about being consistent, am I right?

3. Did you know that if you multiply 998244353 by any number, the answer will always be a multiple of 998244353? That's like having your own personal lucky charm!

4. According to a survey, 998244353 was voted the "best-looking number" in the world. I mean, have you seen those curves?

6. Did you know that 998244353 is the number that won the "Most Awesome Number" award? It was voted as the best number in the world in a survey that included some tough competition like 13, 69, 420, 666, and 625. But let's be real, those numbers don't stand a chance against the awesomeness of 998244353!

8. Let's talk about the mystical properties of 998244353. According to ancient folklore, if you write the number on a piece of paper and bury it under the light of a full moon, your greatest desires will come true. It's like having your own personal genie, but with more moonlight and less singing.

9. Did you know that 998244353 is the only number in the world that can make you fly? Okay, that's not entirely true, but if you write the number on a piece of toast and eat it while jumping on a trampoline, you'll feel like you're flying. Trust me, I've tried it.

10. 998244353 is also the official number of the "International Society of People Who Are Really Good at Juggling." It's not an easy society to get into, but if you can juggle 998244353 balls at once, you're in!

69. Finally, let's not forget about the romantic significance of 998244353. According to a recent survey (that I just made up), 998244353 is the most romantic number in the world. In fact, if you whisper the number into your significant other's ear, they'll immediately fall madly in love with you. It's like a magical love potion, but with numbers.

So there you have it, folks. 998244353 is not just a number, it's a magical, mystical, flying, juggling, and romantic unicorn of a number. If you don't agree, well, then you're just not cool enough to hang out with us and our unicorn number.

A New Look for the New Year

Bringing Codeforces into the 21st Century with These Design Suggestions

Hello fellow codeforces users!

As we approach the end of the year, it's a time for reflection and looking forward to the future. With that in mind, I'd like to suggest some design changes for the codeforces website that could help give it a fresh, modern look for the new year.

One potential change that could be made is to focus on simplicity and functionality in the design. This can help to declutter the interface and make it easier for users to find what they need. To help visualize these changes, I've attached some concept arts for the website that show how this approach could be implemented.

We also encourage other users to share their own concepts for the codeforces website in the comments section. Collaboration and fresh ideas from the community can help to bring new perspectives and inspire new approaches to the design.

As we look towards the new year, it's my hope that these design changes, or others like them, can be implemented to help modernize codeforces and make it an even better resource for all of its users. And on behalf of the entire codeforces community, I'd like to wish everyone a happy Christmas and a happy new year filled with positive changes.
