UPDATE:

I've uploaded the code that I used to generate this on Github, in case someone needs to generate something similar:

Codeforces Team Rating Calculator

The regional round has ended and here's the final Ranklist:

https://www.codechef.com/public/rankings/ACM18GWR

Inspired by the list of teams going to Kharagpur regionals, I decided to make one for Gwalior/Pune regionals. The list contains all the teams from the official Gwalior website. If you know the usernames of members of any of the teams. Please update the excel file:

HERE

Team rating calculation has been done according to the official Codeforces team rating calculation formula.

The table will be updated with details from the excel file every 6 hours or so.

As it is ICPC practice season, we've been doing a lot virtual contests from gym. So, Here's a script that I made to sort problems of a contest in the order of number of submissions (which often translates to difficulty). This would help to choose a contest with smooth gradient and also quickly identify the next problem that should be solved during the contest.

INSTALLATION STEPS

  • Install Tampermonkey for Chrome/ Greasemonkey for Firefox.
  • Install the script from here.

USAGE

Go to any contest page such as:

http://mirror.codeforces.com/gym/101954

The problem list should get sorted automatically based on the number of submissions.

I usually write:

'#define N 1000000

vector adj[N];

But when I run it locally, I get segmentation fault due to stack size being too small, so I end up reducing N to something like 10000 and forget to change it back again before submitting, causing unnecessary penalties.

So is there anyway to permanently increase stack size in ubuntu?

g++ -Wl,--stack=268435456 file.cpp works in Windows.

ulimit -s unlimited only increases stack size for the specific terminal

UPD:

Thanks a lot for your replies, I ended up spilling water on my laptop :(

I'll try the suggestions when (if?) My laptop gets dried.
