Are you gonna participate in Advent of Code 2017? It's like an advent calendar that spawns a new programming challenge every day at 12am EST till Christmas. You don't need to upload code, it gives you an input file and you enter the correct output on the website to mark it as solved. This means you can use any language, and lots of people use this as an opportunity to learn esoteric languages as a challenge.
There's a global leaderboard, the top 100 fills up within 12 minutes with some people finishing challenges in as fast as 4 minutes. If you can't manage that, I made a private leaderboard (join code: 43046-941b8011), you can compete against Sup Forums and not against tryhards from reddit.

i cant even do more than the first 5 euler challenges i wish i was smart
William Morales
Are you gonna participate in Advent of Code 2017? No. I have nothing to prove.
Alexander White
How? Litterally 90% of the first 50 are brute force-able. It’s easy as fuck
Colton Wilson
Is that a boy (female) or girl (male)?
Liam Turner
The second part of each puzzle asks for output in such a way to prevent retards from bruteforcing the answer.
Hunter James
the right one
girl (male)
Jaxson Price
Probably no because it will be generalized overused problems.
Benjamin Reyes
I wanted to participate last year, but I'm too stupid to do some of the problems, and there's very scant few cheat sheets available after days are done. I remember some Rust shills had Youtube videos updated on the daily, but that was about it.
Juan Russell
Reading in file input line by line is such a chore, I easily spend more time dealing with this than actually solving the puzzle.
If you want any chance at the leaderboards, write some boilerplate for reading in data. Or just use python and itertools, that's what all the redditors do.
Andrew Cox
People actually watch screencasts of other people typing? What the hell for?
David Williams
>there are people ITT >RIGHT NOW >who haven't completed the top 25 hardest Project Euler problems
Eli Brooks
Not surprising, Sup Forums is composed of Sup Forums crossboarders
Noah Harris
I did the Advent of Code 2016 a few months ago. It was okay not super exciting problems tbqh
Jayden Davis
bump
Gavin Lee
>did a hundred >lose interest because I'm not mathy enough and got tired of having to research random math topics like diophanhine equations, euler totients, probability theory, etc. just to solve one problem eh. it's fun but man it's time consuming and I feel like half of the time you could find the answer to any problem in pseudo code on wikipedia, or in the OEIS f you just knew what to look for.
Liam Turner
I will not get highscores because I'm not awake at midnight EST. My only shot would be an incredibly challenging puzzle on one of the last days.
>Reading in file input line by line is such a chore
Pajeet please
with open('file.txt', 'r') as f: for line in f:
Jonathan Long
yes goy, do isolation challenges and dont spend time with your loved ones or socialize in any way that might get you a girlfriend.
Elijah Reed
These "challenges" should take you less than half an hour unless you're a brainlet
I hope you're not implying you're a brainlet user that spends all day doing them!
Matthew Flores
I know you're joking but I'm sure there's actual Sup Forums retards who have gone insane thinking all forms of entertainment are a jewish mind control scheme.
Jeremiah Clark
Sup Forums is full of retards, bt nobody there is that retarded and being completely unironic.
Logan Martinez
>pol leaks onto all other boards i [spoiler]love[\spoiler] this
Ian Walker
nah m8, thats Sup Forums. the pleb beta shit you see is just facebook and reddit leaking onto Sup Forums.
>I know you're joking do you think this is a fucking game? time is running out for these people. they need to get their shit together or risk dying alone.
Michael Jones
yes goy, procreate and produce more children to replenish the workforce
Jason Cox
YOURE GOING AGGAINST THE NARRATIVE NO GOY DONT BREED THE WORLD IS OVER POPULATED!
OY VEY GOYIM LOOK, YOUR POPULATION IS GOING DOWN YOU NEED MIGRANTS TO SURVIVE!!
