Where should I ask questions related to some interesting things about programming, but not about programming itself

Question

We have all seen the most common function name "foo" in all C, C++ textbooks.

If I want to ask the question, "Where did the practice of using foo for function names originate from?", which StackExchange site should I use?

stackoverflow.com/questions/3797488/… stackoverflow.com/questions/3795444/… stackoverflow.com/questions/234507/… stackoverflow.com/questions/424580/… stackoverflow.com/questions/4868904/… stackoverflow.com/questions/10061234/what-does-foo-stands-for stackoverflow.com/questions/53609/what-does-foo-really-mean etc etc etc etc — user1228, Commented Jun 12, 2012 at 13:18

That's the sort of question that would be a reasonable fit for programmers.SE. Mind you, you will also find that it is already answered there…
