I'm thinking of doing an experiment with a JS program to utilize Japanese Multiplication, and I want to ask whether or not a software math shortcut is actually a shortcut at all.
To be clear, I'm contemplating writing a program to get benchmarks for the comparison of normal multiplication and J...
Your question straddles three sites: P.SE, CS.SE and Math.SE.

It could go on either of those, it depends on what type of answer you want to get...

P.SE tends to be the more pragmatic/practical. CS.SE would be more on the CS theory side of "does the math work well with computers" and Math.SE would be on the math side...

Of those, I'd think that CS.SE might be the best place... but P.SE might work just as well (there are a number of people who delve into the theory side a bit more than the traditional enterprise coder).

It really depends on if you want an answer that has fancy math symbols in it or if someone benchmarks it and shows why one works differently.
I really don't get this. I've never known that cross posting on SE was prohibited, where it met the guidelines of more than one site. Also, it being off topic is bullshit.
@ratchetfreak that's fine, I would've been happy to delete one. As it turns out computer science decided that it wasn't a good fit for the site. Computer Science is actually a place for computer "theory"
It is possible to migrate a question from one Stack Exchange site to another by closing, but if I have a question that I think is on-topic for multiple Stack Exchange sites, is it OK to post it on both (multipost)?
For example, I have a question that's earned me the tumbleweed badge on SO and I...
@WorldEngineer Thank you. I do think that if it's such a big deal, there should be a specific closure subject for it. Off topic is specifically wrong, and very much so

@jt0dd Close Reasons are a massively, massively contentious subject. Feel free to browse meta.SE for more info.

The working of your question is more toward our site than CS. If you were interested in the precise, theoretic bounds of Japanese Multiplication, that would more into their territory. We are also a vastly more active site (mostly for being launched and a year or two older)
