Ask HN: Is there a community for Computer Scientists?

1 points by nry 13 years ago | 3 comments

I have been a long time lurker of http://www.reddit.com/r/compsci but I have always been dismayed by the quality of posts there regarding actual Computer Science.

Every once in a while on HN a great article comes along about Computer Science but they are few and far between. Does anybody know of a strictly Computer Science community on the web?

You might be asked if by Computer Science you mean what used to be known in some places as Computing Science, which also falls into Programming as in http://www.reddit.com/r/programming

See for example:

http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/82988/choosing-betwe...

or, instead, you mean the generic Information Technology mumbo jumbo. No bias here ;-)

I am looking for more the theory side of Computer Science. For the programming aspect I definitely look here first and then /r/programming.
