Ask HN: What are some of the better tech magazines or online publications?
- benkarst 10y agoSome of my favorites are Technology Review and Ars Technica but I'm always open to new ones.
- CmdrSprinkles 10y agoArs is good for high level stuff and to get a recap of the major keynote speeches. Technology Review is nice, but having a hard cap on the number of articles I can read per month for free is just a huge no-go though. I get the Wired approach of blocking blockers (even if that is triggered by every company firewall I have ever been behind...) as that still provides content for free. Whereas these approaches strongly encourage catering to a specific demographic which tends to drastically limit the kind of critiques and coverage.
- tmnvix 10y agoThough I don't read it regularly, I often find myself following links to what turn out to be good articles at Smashing Magazine. It's not exactly what I'd call a tech magazine - the focus is web development and design. For something more broadly IT related, there is The Register. You'll have to forgive their intentionally over the top, tongue-in-cheek, british tabloid writing style (I've noticed a bit of this has rubbed off on Ars lately). If you can look past that you'll find that they do a really good job of staying up to date with industry news.
