From the School of Computer Science and Department of Psychology at McGill University, I marvel at the world through algorithmic lenses. My specific interests are in quantum computing, evolutionary game theory, modern evolutionary synthesis, and theoretical cognitive science. Previously I was at the Institute for Quantum Computing and Department of Combinatorics & Optimization at the University of Waterloo and a visitor to the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore.

Question regarding applications of formally verified software: CS or CSTHEORY? The main distinction between cstheory and cs is not theory vs. applied, but research level vs. not research level. In fact, we even have an application-of-theory tag. Do you believe your question is research level? Or do you suspect an undergraduate textbook would answer it? If it is the latter then I recommend CS.SE |

Peer review papers you can post it to your blog, or if you think it is good enough to interest researchers then the ArXiv with your prof's endorsement. |

Comment templates I think this comment should be split into two different ones. One for not research level, and one for not TCS. Currently @Kaveh is leaving these on many non-research level questions, and I think it might not be obvious to the OP (especially after we close as off-topic) if it was the lack of research-level or the lack of scope as theoretical that caused the close. |

cstheory.SE fellows add me in their Google+ circles @Raphael I have actually found G+ extremely useful for networking among computer scientists... I imagine it is more useful than researchgate which seems to be directed (or at least attractive to) big lab science. |

Regarding the level of questions to be asked on TCS / SE CS / SO / SE Prog I would consider formal methods to be theoretical computer science broadly considered. The question as asked can also have research theory B answers (by mentioning restricted programming languages where such bounds are possible to calculate). I agree that the question cannot be made both research-level and theory A, but the scope of cstheory is not just A. |

Status of Our Community Blog I hope we finally hold that essay contest to spur activity.I am to blame for some of the lack of activity: I've had a nearly complete post sitting in prep for over a year, now. |

On modifying our scope: A proposal Why do we have to lower our standards instead of just allowing questions from research-level non-theory domains (say ML/AI, or a lot of the great questions at SciComp) and encouraging more application-of-theory questions? |

Why are we getting more off-topic questions? @JohnMoeller cstheory is not in beta, it has graduated a long time ago. There is no reason to believe that a non-beta site will be closed. The recent closures (TP.SE, econ, etc) were all beta sites. |

Please avoid boilerplate comments @TsuyoshiIto As regular users we see these comments all the time on poor questions and we think "why would OP ever read such a long information-less comment". This is because to us, it is a boiler plate and carries no new info. However, most OPs only receive such a comment once on their questions, so they don't have to reread it a bunch of times, so for them the comment is full of useful information. |

What is the difference between the tags lg.learning and machine-learning? Thanks @SureshVenkat but it seems that the issue was not resolved. If lg.learning is a more narrow tag, then shouldn't the wikis reflect that? I am just confused about how I should be using these tags. When would I use lg.learning but not machine-learning and vice-versa? |

Should I ask this question now, which would be crossposted and on CSTheory history? You might be interested in this cstheory question |
