Google Code Jam Archive

Hi HN, As many of you already know, Google has discontinued their coding competitions and is shutting down the competitions website. Before it's gone forever, I've scraped everything I could from their website and set up my own archive. (Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Google besides participating in these contests years ago) While the initial version was ready back in March, today I'm rolling out big and hopefully the final update, so this might be a good time to share it with the HN community. Everything is static HTML and SQLite archives (with a very minimal backend to serve files…

In plain words

The Google Code Jam Archive is a preserved collection of coding competition data from Google's discontinued programming contests. It contains 3.5 million source code files scraped from the original website before shutdown, stored as static HTML and SQLite databases for easy access and download. Designed for programmers, researchers, and developers interested in competitive programming problems and solutions, the archive serves as a historical record and potential training dataset for future projects.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN, As many of you already know, Google has discontinued their coding competitions and is shutting down the competitions website. Before it's gone forever, I've scraped everything I could from their website and set up my own archive. (Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with Google besides participating in these contests years ago) While the initial version was ready back in March, today I'm rolling out big and hopefully the final update, so this might be a good time to share it with the HN community. Everything is static HTML and SQLite archives (with a very minimal backend to serve files directly from SQLite), so you can easily grab your own copy. May these 3.5 million source files be a nice training dataset for some fancy future AI! Some useless stats: Tabs or spaces? 28% tabs vs 72% spaces for the whole dataset, but quite unexpectedly, 66% tabs vs 34% spaces if we consider only the final rounds. Most used languages: 63% C/C++, 20% Python, 12% Java, 2% C#, with others less than 1% each. For the final rounds it's 83% C/C++, 13% Java, 2% Python.

    Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
