| May 28, 2013 at 7:33 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | @frafl: This is another discussion entirely (new thread?) but I don't think the separation is bad for us per se. We have just not really been able to attract much non-TCS traffic; let cstheory have hard TCS questions, there should be more than enough left for us. | |
| May 28, 2013 at 7:32 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | @WanderingLogic: We can talk to the cstheory mods about that; some of them are active here, too. The danger would be, of course, that they would shut down question we would like (they are known to be, well, quite zealous). | |
| May 28, 2013 at 7:31 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | There have been a few non-homework questions over the last days that were treated poorly. People, if you want non-homework questions (esp by practitioners), be prepared to mold ill-posed questions into shape! | |
| May 27, 2013 at 22:05 | comment | added | frafl | @WanderingLogic: Most likely they would be cross-posted anyway, if they receive no answers. Anyway I think, the split bewtween cstheory and cs.SE is bad for this site. However, it's not only the HW questions, but also mid-level question that don't get asked or answered here, because the main audience only reads cstheory (e.g. cs.stackexchange.com/q/10576/6716). | |
| May 27, 2013 at 18:55 | comment | added | Wandering Logic | I also find it annoying that theory.cs.stackexchange.com keeps dumping homework questions on cs.stackexchange.com. If the homework questions aren't good enough for the folks that get paid to teach computability and complexity theory, then why would systems and ai faculty/grad-students want to answer them? | |
| May 22, 2013 at 7:58 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | @DavidEisenstat I understand. All of us can help change that by asking more involved questions! | |
| May 22, 2013 at 0:30 | comment | added | David Eisenstat | @Raphael I don't answer homework questions because it would bore me and annoy my colleagues. Everything else is a trickle that won't get me to 500 rep any time soon. | |
| May 19, 2013 at 15:00 | comment | added | Raphael Mod | I agree. The solution should be obvious: all who are annoyed by overly lazy, localized questions, help moderating! | |
