| May 19, 2021 at 20:06 | comment | added | user136749 | @YuvalFilmus, as I understand, that site is mostly for research-level questions. I believe there is quite a gap between HWs and research-level questions. | |
| May 19, 2021 at 20:04 | comment | added | user136749 | @Raphael, I agree that's it's not always clear, but there are enough questions of the form: "this is the CS101-level problem, [I don't know how to approach it], please solve it". Even when it's not cheating (in the strict sense that it's not a HW), I believe that answering such questions must be looked down upon. In this sense, I like that CS.SE has a list reference questions,. | |
| May 19, 2021 at 19:56 | comment | added | Yuval Filmus | There already exists such a community — Theoretical Computer Science. The number of genuinely interesting questions here is quite small. The vast majority is homework questions. | |
| May 19, 2021 at 19:54 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | "I have no idea why the common policy is "don't downvote good answers for cheating questions" -- our homework policy rests on the strong belief that we can't tell (or even prove) what's cheating and what's not. | |
| May 19, 2021 at 19:53 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | @YuvalFilmus Alternative hypothesis: if we shut down homework questions, interesting questions get more attention, and an active community of experts can form. | |
| May 19, 2021 at 5:28 | comment | added | user136749 | Well, then you are welcome to continue answering them. I'm out. | |
| May 19, 2021 at 3:48 | comment | added | Yuval Filmus | If we stop responding to homework questions, we can close this site. The vast majority of posts are homework questions. | |
