Not only yes, but imo, hell yes. I think a lot of what is missing from the dialog these days is talk about fundamentals. And all though that is for a reason practically (as things get higher level, we think of low level things less often), it loses out on some really fascinating topics. For example, how processors actually do cache, endianness, instruction sets, algorithms, etc., are all just fascinating topics to think about.

So my vote is, more of that.

Sure anything other than the 10th LLM discourse of the week.

I don't see why not, but I see there are several computer science communities, maybe better post there. My instance's community search tells me !compsci@lemmy.world is somewhat active (by Lemmy standards).

Hmmm... idk... Do you have a permit?

In all seriousness, as long as the communities are small and there is low traffic broader topics and questions are totally fine. Only if there is consensus that something is "too much" and repeated off topic will it make sense to split off and fragment.

The fediverse is friendly enough that you can try first, and if you're overstepping someone will politely ask you to not do it again.

I'm somewhat of a scientist myself.

I guess I don't know what kind of posts you mean specifically, but yes, please do.

"Programming" can be and is typically interpreted quite broadly. It's not just "writing code" but development in general, and entails computer science.

Looks like this programming.dev instance does not have a computer science community yet, but I would love to see one. Cross-posting is possible too.

Tangential, there's !experienced_devs@programming.dev, but that's a different branch even if it can entail compsci.

I would love to see more practice or science or theory or hands-on posts in this community.

In the end, there's the option of just trying and seeing what votes and comments tell; appreciation or rejection.

I'd be happy to read those posts :)

I just created !PapersWeLove@programming.dev if you're interested in sharing/discussing academic CS papers.

Yes pls

Of course! Go for it. I don't know where you're looking at this from, whether it's a normal perspective or something else, but there are definitely good communities. But not Reddit XD

That'd be great. "Programming" is a part of compsci and by itself, it's pretty limited if you ask me.

There's also !compsci@lemmy.world

Most are glad to have any contributions, if worried, consider this a kind offer to use my community: !explicitsystems@quokk.au
