We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on Reddit and HackerNews. They can help you see what people think about Stack Exchange and what they use it for.
  • WTW for a world where human concepts manifest as human-like characters?
    Stolen from stackexchange.com: "A parallel universe would be a completely separate universe, possibly containing similar characters or facts, but definitively a separate entity. An alternative universe would likely take place in the same universe, but with altered facts (i.e., "what-if" scenarios).". - Source: Reddit / 4 days ago
  • 26F and I'm no one. Working minimum wage and pretty much a ticking time-bomb mentally.
    Https://www.wolframalpha.com/ is your best friend. This thing solves all math problems like a beast. Also embrace the vulnerability and ask a lot of questions on stackexchange.com. - Source: Reddit / 7 days ago
  • Does a rock falling down a hill perform computation?
    This is seriously featured on page 1 of https://stackexchange.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago
  • First time switching to Linux
    You probably already know that you can program LibreOffice, but as you are asking specifically about an API: I can't comment on LibreOffice's API, sorry, as I've never used it. You might find some help on LibreOffice's forum, or you might be lucky on Ubuntu Forums or Stack Exchange, specifically Unix & Linux. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Best Websites For Coders

  • What are available social apps that programmers can use without getting distracted into other topics?
    Not sure of any specific "apps" but Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow are both huge communities. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
  • What coding language do you use for data analysis?
    Whichever route you choose the elements of programming and data structure are transferable as the syntax and formatting are the main differences (on the surface). I learned Matlab in grad school in the early 00’s as it was free. Python was less inviting. Fast forward 20 years and Python has IDEs (I use Spyder under Anaconda) that give a Matlab like feel to interactive data analysis and coding. Modules like scipy,... - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
  • Can anyone explain to me briefly whats the difference between Ubuntu and Debian?
    Part of that is providing excellent community support in the shape of the friendly Ubuntu Forums, and the no-nonsense Ask Ubuntu, hosted on Stack Exchange. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago
  • Authors and publishers ought publish their confidential Instructor's Solution Manuals — free of charge!
    Students can simply request hints or answers on websites like StackExchange, math forums — or SubReddits like r/cheatatmathhomework or r/mathhelp. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
  • Please tell me what productive activities i can do on the internet instead of mindlessly scrolling for hours??
    Do you answer reddit posts as well or just read them? When I am able to help someone on Reddit, I consider it to have epsilon productivity (where epsilon is a small indeterminate number greater than 0). Same for things like stackexchange.com. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago
  • Aiming to get electricity for my cabin via underground burial. Few questions.
    How is 2-2-2-4 undersized? From most of the replies I've gotten on stackexchange.com and garagejournal.com have told me 2-2-2-4 is plenty for my needs. I'm never going to be running 240V appliances, all my power needs will be off regular wall outlets. I'll never be drawing more than 30amps, It's ampacity is rated for 100. - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

    Https://stackexchange.com/ and https://stackoverflow.com/ are the go to sites for master's level students and professionals alike. They are not immediate obviously but they get the job done. - Source: Reddit / 10 months ago
  • Which version of Linux is best? I do animation and I'm tired of Windows crashing on me every day
    I personally recommend an official distribution, so that you can take advantage of the extensive help in the friendly Ubuntu Forums or the no-nonsense Ask Ubuntu (hosted on Stack Exchange). Those two, especially the first, have taught me a huge amount. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago
  • Are "arch based distros" only for advanced Linux users?
