I dislike how just because someone is a red coder, they get so many upvotes even if what they are saying is wrong.

There is literally no reason for him to submit assembly code. I believe that he is creating this alt account to test his solutions before submitting them on his main account so he doesn't get any penalty time. You are trying your best to defend a cheater, but it is very annoying when Div 1. people create alt accounts for the purpose of cheating or arrogance.

I don't think it is that obvious. At least it is a grey area.

I agree. No one is calling for insta-banning. But it seems to be closer to be against the rules.

Is code "obfuscated" merely because it is written in assembly?

No. But was it written in assembly, or was it written in C++ and the assembly was generated, and the person could have simply submitted it in C++? I do not know. It does not mean it should not be looked into.

It is after all a legitimate programming language.

In the real world, yes. But in Codeforces, it is not an accepted language. Using C++ to write in-line assembly seems to be only circumventing maybe a conscious decision made by Codeforces. If there is someone actually able to solve the problems in assembly that fast, I would be impressed and would love to see it in action. But how likely is that?

If you find assembly code hard to read, is that really the author's fault?

If the code was originally in C, then a tool was used to generate the assembly, then the assembly was submitted, then it is objectively only harder to read. Regardless of one's ability to read assembly. I am not saying my assumptions are necessarily true, though.

The obfuscation clause can't be taken to mean any code that is simply hard to read: otherwise we could ban like half of this site.

I do not think anyone said it should be looked into for potential rule-breaking only because it was written in assembly.

If I want to participate in a contest with a language that is not supported by Codeforces, compiling it to assembly and then submitting actually sounds like the best choice.

Sure, but how likely is that given the number of allowed languages and the fact that not all languages compile to assembly? The person should get a chance to defend themselves, that is besides the point.

TL;DR Occam's razor

If I want to participate in a contest with a language that is not supported by Codeforces, compiling it to assembly and then submitting actually sounds like the best choice.

In that case one should at least add a big comment with the original source that was fed to the generator.

Just posting assembly severely hampers the ability to hack a solution or just to understand a solution for learning.

u have any proof that i cheated? which rule did i violate?

can u fucking guy just learn how to say some words that don't make any other one confused? c ur low contribution and notice what have u said in recent blogs

u r a chinese but not everyone here is and the same, not all of them are active on luogu! i just wonder what does "typical, very typical" mean ? “典中典”? what does "codeforces is invading atcoder" mean? don't u know that atcoder announcements are usually posted in codeforces? and even u said a "smaller account"? can u just stop using chinglish? ur evidence of cheating doesn't hold water!!! y WinGV64 stands for cheating? can u explain?

Haha

Luogu user? Are you?

that means u r discriminating codeforces users from luogu users, or r u arrogant to be a chinese oier???

Maybe ‘cu ball’ is a better expression to use?

UPD : cu -> 铜(copper) -> 同(same), ball -> 球 -> 求(request)

do u think everyone knows chinese?

a lot of xxs in luogu also have a codeforces account.

UPD : xxs means students in primary school / elementary school, and in chinese websites it's a word to express someone is in immaturity of mind

exactly u.
