The link should be the following I think https://www.humanreadablemag.com/morningcupofcoding https://www.humanreadablemag.com/morningcupofcoding The mail list archive is here: https://us18.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=ab0f46cf302c0ed836e0bf0ad&id=56b5f64c5f https://us18.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=ab0f46cf302c0ed836...
- jolmg 8y ago
  That mail list archive link is down. There is an issues index: https://www.humanreadablemag.com/issues-index https://www.humanreadablemag.com/issues-index Their last entry in "All Issues" is of May 2018, but other links show issues from September 2018, etc.
  - minkeymaniac 8y ago
    I see this on the mail archive link 03/26/2019 - Validating a Coordination Protocol with Alloy, Using Sequence Properties to Verify a A Serial Port Transmitter, Enums In JavaScript 03/25/2019 - Boolean blindness, Ruby's Hidden Gems, StringScanner, Build yourself a DVCS

There are a lot of these newsletters at the moment. I’m not sure how to differentiate them. Does anyone have a list of the ones particularly worth following?
- redwards510 8y ago
  If you are in the .Net field, this guy's blog is a nice daily list of links to read. A lot come from HN. The Wolf Report https://michael-wolfenden.github.io https://michael-wolfenden.github.io
  - codereflection 8y ago
    Similar to Chris Alcock's The Morning Brew, which has been around since 2007. http://blog.cwa.me.uk/ http://blog.cwa.me.uk/
- rovyko 8y ago
  It's not exactly coding related, but I really like the Orbital Index. The stories they choose are usually interesting and their blurbs are succinct enough to read during a few minutes break.
- pekalicious 8y ago
  There are not that many general programming newsletters, but language specific there are a ton. A list I like to use is the Awesome Newsletter https://github.com/zudochkin/awesome-newsletters https://github.com/zudochkin/awesome-newsletters
- prolepunk 8y ago
  I really like pycoders -- https://pycoders.com/ https://pycoders.com/ It's a weekly newsletter that brings me python news.
- claudiulodro 8y ago
  The only one I look forward to every week is TechLoaf: https://www.techloaf.io/ https://www.techloaf.io/ Probably not exactly what you were looking for though. :)

This reminds be a bit of The Morning Brew by Chris Alcock, which has been around since 2007. It's heavily .NET focused though. http://blog.cwa.me.uk/ http://blog.cwa.me.uk/

I’ve been following this for sometime but it’s gotten tedious. I’d love a weekly digest option too. There are a lot of days when I skip the morning mail and then 15-20 of these are backlogged.
- pekalicious 8y ago
  I hear you. I am working on the backend to make this possible, but it's a little bit more complicated than I originally estimated.
  - inapis 8y ago
    Great. Thanks for all the work you're doing!

Minor things I've noticed whilst looking at archives, which made me somewhat puzzled for a bit: * Pressing Escape redirects to a Squarespace login, which is weird (was trying to get out of Ctrl-F seeing if Python was listed) * You have article headlines that aren't clickable to get to the article, instead relying on body links.
- pekalicious 8y ago
  That is very odd behaviour indeed. I will look into this. I wonder what that could be... The body links was the old format. I change that a while ago, but the index page hasn't been updated yet.
  - MattGrommes 8y ago
    The Escape thing is default Squarespace behavior. I believe you can turn it off in your site settings.
    - pekalicious 8y ago
      Huh. I never knew this was a thing. Anyway, I just disabled it.

I'm unable to get the domain name to resolve, Chrome's telling me the IP address for www.humanreadablemag.com can't be found. Is anyone else getting this?
- pekalicious 8y ago
  Try this: https://www.humanreadablemag.com/morningcupofcoding https://www.humanreadablemag.com/morningcupofcoding I think I messed up the DNS settings.
  - rocgf 8y ago
    Still not working for me.
  - teddyh 8y ago
    Both name servers for humanreadablemag.com, when asked about www.humanreadablemag.com, returns two CNAME records, leading to different names: www.humanreadablemag.com. 900 IN CNAME humanreadablemag.com. www.humanreadablemag.com. 900 IN CNAME ext-cust.squarespace.com. This is not even allowed by the DNS RFC’s, so I don’t know how you even managed to do this. Fortunately the TTL is only 15 minutes, so when you fix it, it should propagate quickly. Also, non-www links, i.e. humanreadablemag.com, redirects to www. This is normally recommended, but since it’s the DNS records for www that’s broken, it does make it impossible to read the site at present. Until you fix your DNS, anyone could add these lines to their /etc/hosts file to make your site accessible for them: 198.185.159.145 www.humanreadablemag.com 198.185.159.144 www.humanreadablemag.com 198.49.23.144 www.humanreadablemag.com 198.49.23.145 www.humanreadablemag.com
    - pekalicious 8y ago
      So, the squarespace one I think was automatically added when I connected my account to it. The "humanreadablemag.com" one I guess was there before I connected squarespace and is used for "www". I guess I should delete the latter? I don't want to do anything stupid and bring the site down :/

I recently subscribed to https://golangweekly.com https://golangweekly.com which is a great newsletter if you're into Go. :)
SimplyUnknown 8y ago
I'm subscribed to this for a few months now and I must say that in general I'm pretty positive about it. However, it is usually a mixed bag of topics and the perceived quality -- or actually how much I enjoy reading the curated articles -- differs from day to day. Some days it is just a collection of "I did this thing in Typescript/Vue/React" type of articles and it just happens to be my preference that I dont find most articles about front-end dev not that interesting. However, there are more than enough more "fundamental" articles in it every week. Whether it is about computer graphics, language theory or something about quantum computing, it is generally a nice mix. And I like that you can vote on the emails whether you like them or not (I don't know if this does anything but the idea is nice). Oh, and I think that the "I already read this one on Hackernews or /r/programming" is pretty low. Keep it up, Pek

  If you don't enjoy `"I did this thing in Typescript/Vue/React" type of articles` you may like my news letter: https://betterdev.link https://betterdev.link. It's a bit broad and focus more on OpsSide, general knowledge on programming than how-to style article.
  - abhibansal530 8y ago
    Of all the programming newsletters I have subscribed, yours is one of the most informative out there. Thanks for creating it and keep up the great work.
    - kureikain 8y ago
      Thank you so much for your kind words
- pekalicious 8y ago
  Thank you so much for your kind words. Indeed, because of our limited resources, we are only able to share 3 articles per issue, which has a high probability for all of them to be a "miss". We are making moves to grow, and hopefully that means more articles per issue and thus more value to our readers. I am also very glad that you find the number of articles found in Hackernews and Reddit is low. That means that my time spent shifting through my list of more than 1,000 (and growing) RSS feeds actually produces good results, which was a bet I made early on when deciding what sources to use for my curation.

At times in the past I've had to stay off HN because I needed to recover emotionally from all the posts about surveillance/dystopia/etc. But I always come back because it's my primary touchstone for what's going on in the software industry. I'm curious if this newsletter could fill that role instead.
