Ask HN: Which magazines do you recommend?

3 points by mathieubordere 4 years ago | 1 comment

Hi all,

I'm interested in anything (computer) science / mathematics related, however, I'm a Software Engineer and would not consider myself a scientist or mathematician.

I currently have subscriptions for "Nature" and "Communications of the ACM" but I won't renew my subscriptions for neither of them. Most of the articles in Nature are too specialized for me, only the first part of the magazine is readable, where the gist of the content is presented. CACM on the other side seems a bit too high-level and I have the impression it's mainly about A.I. and inclusiveness these days (nothing against these topics, just don't want to read about it all the time).

Any recommendations?

I don't know which ones you would find interesting, but the magazines I buy frequently on the newsstand (but don't subscribe to) include:

Nuts & Volts

Servo

Practical Electronics

Linux Pro

Linux Format

Admin

Code

2600

MagPi

Hackspace

Retro-Gamer

Bass Angler

(Note: some of those names might not be exactly right, since magazines sometimes change names and I recognize it on the newsstand by the location and the general visual look, not the exact words of the title. For example, "Practical Electronics" was "Practical Everyday Electronics", or vice-versa, or something like that. And Linux Pro and Linux Voice merged, or something, yadda, yadda)

Magazines I actually subscribe to:

HBR

MIT Sloan Management Review

Wired
