| Dec 11, 2010 at 19:29 | comment | added | Aarobot | That's fine; only one of them is really a CS question anyway. Most of them are definitively "programmers" questions; the "applied CS" one can stay on Stack Overflow. | |
| Dec 11, 2010 at 19:07 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Aarobot: CS.SE is for research-level theoretical CS. None of these questions are research-level, and they're rather on the applied side. The questions are programming-related, as opposed to programmer-related, and they're technical, generally non-subjective questions. | |
| Dec 11, 2010 at 18:55 | comment | added | Aarobot | Can't these go on CS.SE? I'll admit to not being all that familiar with the scope there, but if you're saying that they're genuine CS questions then that's where they belong; otherwise, if they're not truly programming-related, they belong on Programmers.SE. The first two examples seem like P.SE questions to me; the third one, maybe CS; the fourth (polymorphism), probably P.SE, the next is a toss-up, and the last I agree belongs on IT Security. | |
| Dec 10, 2010 at 19:28 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | @Mark: I disagree on both counts. The questions are not subjective (except arguably the “why” one, but not all “why” questions are subjective and this one is on the low end), so they're off-topic as per Programmers.SE's FAQ. And they are not good questions because they would not attract good answers: from what I've seen, answers on technical topics tend to be very poor — my impression is that people turn their brain off when posting there. (That's not a criticism of Programmers.SE: I think it fills a need, but that need isn't serious answers to technical questions.) | |
| Dec 10, 2010 at 17:26 | comment | added | AArteDoCodigo.com.br - Maniero | The last one probably belongs to IT Security. | |
| Dec 10, 2010 at 17:16 | comment | added | user149432 | All of those questions are on-topic and good questions for Programmers.SE. | |
