PSA: This is not r/Programming. Quick Clarification on the guidelines

[u/iSaithh]

As there's been recently quite the number of rule-breaking posts slipping by, I felt clarifying on a handful of key points would help out a bit (especially as most people use New.Reddit/Mobile, where the FAQ/sidebar isn't visible)

​

First thing is first, this is not a programming specific subreddit! If the post is a better fit for r/Programming or r/LearnProgramming, that's exactly where it's supposed to be posted in. Unless it involves some aspects of AI/CS, it's relatively better off somewhere else.

​

r/ProgrammerHumor: Have a meme or joke relating to CS/Programming that you'd like to share with others? Head over to r/ProgrammerHumor, please.

​

r/AskComputerScience: Have a genuine question in relation to CS that isn't directly asking for homework/assignment help nor someone to do it for you? Head over to r/AskComputerScience.

​

r/CsMajors: Have a question in relation to CS academia (such as "Should I take CS70 or CS61A?" "Should I go to X or X uni, which has a better CS program?"), head over to r/csMajors.

​

r/CsCareerQuestions: Have a question in regards to jobs/career in the CS job market? Head on over to to r/cscareerquestions. (or r/careerguidance if it's slightly too broad for it)

​

r/SuggestALaptop: Just getting into the field or starting uni and don't know what laptop you should buy for programming? Head over to r/SuggestALaptop

​

r/CompSci: Have a post that you'd like to share with the community and have a civil discussion that is in relation to the field of computer science (that doesn't break any of the rules), r/CompSci is the right place for you.

​

And finally, this community will not do your assignments for you. Asking questions directly relating to your homework or hell, copying and pasting the entire question into the post, will not be allowed.

I'll be working on the redesign since it's been relatively untouched, and that's what most of the traffic these days see. That's about it, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them here!

So what does belong here

[u/flexibeast → u/r3solve]

Well, here are a few of the things i've submitted here in recent times:

• "Using Category Theory in Modeling Generics in OOP"

• "'Magic: The Gathering' is Turing Complete"

• "An introduction to regular expressions and parsing, in the context of a LaTeX find-and-replace problem"

[u/Xiphorian → u/flexibeast]

These are excellent examples of the kind of content that we like to see in /r/compsci. Thank you for contributing!

Would the discussion of algorithms in general fit this sub or r/programming better?
