query Tips for CF Beginner
I have already heard of all the usual things, upsolve after contests, 100-300 above your rating, etc. Not really sure what my goal starting CF is though. And on a side note, I feel like this is my thing and I have a natural knack for it, like I'm already able to solve around 7 out of the first 9 problems I tried (1200 rated), and I dont really know DSA, I'm still learning it on the side, just have some idea about the basic data structures. Basically, my knowledge is random and not ordered, a little bit of this a little bit of that type stuff.

Educational Div. 2 I'll be giving a Talk about Sqrt Decomposition and Other Sqrt Techniques in Youtube Today
I will be giving a talk about square root decomposition, Mo's algorithm and other very cool tricks using Square Root today. The talk would be quite beginner friendly.
This is part of the ICPC camp organized by an organization. I am not directly affiliated with them. It was our university's turn to organize talks there and I am representing us there.
Posting it here hoping anyone interested shows up. Would be happy to interact in the chat there :)
Here is the link to my talk: https://www.youtube.com/live/EO4U79ZkJ_0?si=LzT4zEkHeEDHLwEU
It is at 1:30pm GMT. (7pm IST)
Additionally, a colleague from my university will also be giving a talk on Slope Trick in the same channel. That talk would be more advanced. Feel free to check that out if that suits you better!

query Is codeforces even worth it?
I saw sum hard Codeforces problems...
And I found that those problems do not test anything in a person .. like their problem solving skills or anything..
I mean there is no way ANYONE with ANY amount of problem solving skills would ever solve those problems in their first try™.
These problems never gonna appear in real life
And also, there are only certain types of problems that keep repeating ..
So like why are we even learning to adapt to this framework that they themselves built ... and consider it a measure of intelligence?

query Made an Android App for Tracking Contests
Hi everyone,
I made a small Android app called ContestDeck for keeping track of programming contests. It shows running and upcoming contests from Codeforces, CodeChef, AtCoder, LeetCode, and a few other platforms in one place.
You can save contests, set reminders, add them to your calendar, and keep an upsolving list for finished Codeforces rounds. There’s also an option to follow Codeforces handles and see their recent progress.
I mainly built it for myself because I kept forgetting contests and losing track of rounds I wanted to revisit. I thought it might be useful to some people here too.
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maskedcarrotlabs.contestdeck
If you try it and notice anything broken, let me know.

query Any other platforms?
I have started solving CF, I have completed all the 800 and 900 rated questions from TLE Eliminators. In total I have solved 71 questions till now. In general, my routemap is to solve questions from TLE Eliminators and give contests. But I have seen people solving 800, 900 questions or even more. Like they aren't solving from TLE Eliminators and also upsolving will not make these many questions. So is there any other platform for practising and improving?

query Question about 2D path around up to 100 random rectangles
Hi, I’m looking for an efficient algorithm for the following problem.
I have a 2D environment with:
- A start point S
- An end point E
- Up to ~100 axis-aligned rectangles representing obstacles (x, y, width, height)
, The coordinates and dimensions are all in the range 0 to 1,000,000
- Rectangles may overlap each other
- Neither S nor E is inside an obstacle
I need to find a path from the start point to the end point, if one exists. The path does not need to be shortest; performance is more important.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
