TopCoder editorials exist
By Swistakk, history, 7 years ago, In English

Hi, I don't know about you, but I was convinced that TopCoder editorials were mostly abandoned long time ago, but I learnt from today's e-mail from TC (which I assume almost nobody fully reads) that in fact they are in a very good shape and we can find editorials to almost all recent competitions. I thought this is a valuable and nontrivial discovery, so I decided to share it with you. Here they are: https://www.topcoder.com/community/data-science/data-science-editorials/

This is amazing! Why are they hiding such great and effortful resources?

I can't believe it! I didn't think they were abandoned, but I thought that they are too slowly written (like the last 50 SRMs didn't have an editorial, at each point), which led me to stop working this kind of problems as I always had to wait a lot. Thanks for sharing!

Anyone find it strange that it exist within the data science category? Can we really consider CP as data science?

    We can't, but my opinion is that TopCoder tries to be "hot" and it's its way of trying to be hot. Note that it's not just editorials, everything related to CP on its site is in "Data science" category
