According to the area51 proposal these topics should be in the scope of this site. It was known that these other sites did exist and overlap. …

Addition: Above I have argued that there is not a need to have programming questions here, and based on other factors like the intended scope of the site, it is better to leave them out. …

They are topics in theoretical computer science so they are on-topic here. If you think your question may receive a more suitable answer here feel free to ask moderators on Math.SE to migrate them. I …

I look at the following questions to decide if a question is on-topic (unless explicitly made off-topic for some reason by a policy): Is there a good reason to think that the question is likely to r …

I think Wandering Logic brought up several interesting points that should to be studied and discussed independent of this discussion. E.g. it might worth creating and experimenting with a view of ques …

I think this is a difficult tricky issue. Here is my far from perfect two cents: Is the question about understanding an aspect of the model or is it a program to be used? If it is a question who …

I think the goal was not creating a site for TCS but a site for general CS (including those you have listed), so they should be on-topic.

CS.SE shares scope with many other sites: Math.SE, Crypto.SE, CompSci.SE, Stats.SE, etc. EE.SE is just one of these. … ps: as a reminder for people who have not followed previous meta discussions about scope, although we have many TCS question the scope of CS.SE is not just TCS, its scope is CS generally, including Computer …

Computer Science is the science that studies computation and related issues. It has strong connections with other disciplines, particularly with: mathematics, computer and electronic engineering. Th …

Based on comments under the question, there seems to be several interpretations of what is being asked. This shows that the question is not well-defined at the moment. If the OP edits it and makes it …

We never defined the scope as "things worth knowing", if the question is in computer science (and I believe it is) then it is on-topic and in scope. …

The scope of the site is CS in general, not conceptual CS. Any topic that is excluded should be done so explicitly (based on good arguments why such questions should be off-topic on cs.se). …

I think we should allow them. We can adopt a policy similar to [math.se]: How to ask a homework question?
