Is there a website out there that's more technical than HN, has less negativity, and leaves out the "social" aspects of technology?
What I'm looking for is a site where I can discuss things like:
-Programming language design (functional languages, different type systems, point-free style, etc...)
-Interesting mathematics (deeper understanding of statistics, implications of Godel's incompleteness theorem)
-Interesting science (advances in quantum mechanics, optical gyroscopes, etc.)
-Other technical oddities (Turing complete systems, global illumination on GPUs, supercomputing)
-News on start-ups that solve technical rather than social problems (DE Shaw instead of Socialcam)
I'd like to avoid:
-Tech products
-Heated arguments that make me feel bad after reading the comments instead of enlightened
