Hello, Codeforces! A month ago, I started working part-time with MikeMirzayanov. It's time to share the results of the first month!
Overall, I've been involved in several things:
Added 2020 ICPC World Finals and a series of Google Code Jam contests to the training section.
Assisted MikeMirzayanov in detecting cheaters in several rounds.
And, of course, coordinated Codeforces Round 895 (Div. 3) and Codeforces Round 900 (Div. 3). Also, all Div. 3 rounds for October are already prepared and in the testing stage!
Full list of GCJ contests I added
thanks for the work. BTW why does it take sooo long for the problem rates to get updated? Can it be automated? I doubt the cheating detection affects the problem rating so significantly to possibly be a requisite for updating problem ratings.
I'm not completely familiar with this part of the process, as far as I know, updating ratings takes quite a long time, so it happens only after searching for cheaters.
Yeah, time for ratings to get updated is still same, but I noticed that the platform is now handling the traffic good in contests and submissions are staying in queue for lesser time compared to the previous contests.
