been looking for a community to write and discuss theoratical CS stuff. can I post it here?

there are other communities like: https://cs.stackexchange.com/ but don’t know how friendly they are toward begginers.

    Not only yes, but imo, hell yes. I think a lot of what is missing from the dialog these days is talk about fundamentals. And all though that is for a reason practically (as things get higher level, we think of low level things less often), it loses out on some really fascinating topics. For example, how processors actually do cache, endianness, instruction sets, algorithms, etc., are all just fascinating topics to think about.

    So my vote is, more of that.

      Yeah this isn’t reddit. We just happy people are talking. Especially if its interesting stuff like CS.

    I guess I don’t know what kind of posts you mean specifically, but yes, please do.

    “Programming” can be and is typically interpreted quite broadly. It’s not just “writing code” but development in general, and entails computer science.

    Looks like this programming.dev instance does not have a computer science community yet, but I would love to see one. Cross-posting is possible too.

    Tangential, there’s !experienced_devs@programming.dev, but that’s a different branch even if it can entail compsci.

    I would love to see more practice or science or theory or hands-on posts in this community.

    In the end, there’s the option of just trying and seeing what votes and comments tell; appreciation or rejection.
