Ask HN: A similar forum/news aggregate site, but mostly for math, physics, CS?
As the title says. Looking for a HN alternative with intelligent user base minus the stories about Snowden and NSA, tablet reviews, JS frameworks, anti-procrastination articles and latest gossip about programmer celebrities.
Yes, I know about Reddit, and no, I'm not happy with it.

As it stands, I can keep my queue full via sites like High Scalability [0], Research at Google [1], Arxiv [2] and a long list of "Architecture at X" blogs that post sporadically.
On HN I probably spend more time scanning the "new" queue here than the Front Page. Plenty of quality submissions never gain traction.
Obviously, that's just content. I don't have a solution for the lack of community.
