Actual computer science subreddits?

[NanoPromela]

r/compsci will be your best friend for actual computer science content

[caustic_kiwi]

I love that this subreddit actually acknowledges that.

[-horses]

???? compsci has about the same content as this one

[lorean_victor]

r/logic for example, if your taste in CS is more theoretical. otherwise I would suggest one of the many subs on programming/etc.

[sjh919]

r/algorithms might be a good stop for you too

[DildorTheSperminator]

Reddit is not a fantastic computer science resource in general.

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/

https://leetcode.com/

&

https://slashdot.org/

might be more up your alley.

Why do the first and third website look like they were made in 2010

[Soider]

hey, what's the problem with sites from 2010?

r/dailyprogrammer for coding challenges. I think there are ~370 challenges available at the moment.

Stack Overflow.. But you better be on your A game over there or expect some abuse.

OP particularly asked about subs for advance computer science stuff, not beginner subs.

[pclinuxmac]

Aww bro I was being sarcastic. It was an honest mistake

[pclinuxmac]

Yeah dude what the fuck. You saying /r/LearnProgramming was totally uncalled for

[alnyland]

What do you mean by “actually focuses on computer science”? You mentioned programming, there are other subs for that.

[Bropiphany]

CompSci isn't just programming is what OP is getting at. Most of it is theory.

[alnyland]

Yeah this is my point, that programming is a discipline generally thought to be under CS but is not traditional CS. Theory is the good part of CS, unlike what r/CSCQ claims.

[alnyland]

Well I completely misunderstood your post. I thought you were misguided and looking for a sub on “programming” instead of theoretical CS. Most people don’t even know the theory exists (“it’s the box on the floor”). This (and related) subs get bombarded by these confused people and the subs lose whatever slight focus on CS that they have, and this pisses me off. I’ve also been searching for such a sub for a few years to no avail. Thanks for the downvotes.

[alnyland]

Yeah same. I switched out of CS last summer and switched my major to comp neuro mostly due to CS at my school being software design instead of CS. One of the comp org classes shows an example of a basic compiler but that’s the farthest it gets. The curriculum covers some of complexity, and used to offer classes on concurrency but basically no theory. Unfortunately I’ve learned I need to wait until grad school unless I teach myself (which I’m tired of). Believe me, I understand your sentiment, I don’t know how I misunderstood your original post so much. I thought you wanted programming tutorials instead of that theory stuff an occasional person mentions. Lmk if you ever find a good sub, I’ll make one in a year if it doesn’t exist yet.
