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.
The ones that give you other ways to subscribe besides email, is how I differentiate. I am not interested in getting articles in my email, it's for correspondence only.
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.
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?
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:
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 :/
As far as I can tell, you can delete either one of the CNAME records, since both of their targets have the same set of A records. But if you really want to be sure, your hosting provider (Squarespace in this case) should have explicit instructions on how to configure your DNS records.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for doing this, I've found the newsletter refreshing and, even if the handful of articles aren't my cup of tea, they aren't retreads of stuff I see elsewhere. Programming language of the day is an especially deep well of stuff I've never heard of. Even though I'll likely never use any but the most mainstream of languages, it is always interesting to see what pops up.
Also, yes, I do take likes/dislikes into consideration. It's a very helpful tool that helps me see when I've done something people really didn't like or liked a lot. For example, my editorial on Google's AlphaStar was very well received: https://us18.campaign-archive.com/?u=ab0f46cf302c0ed836e0bf0...
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.

Does anyone have a list of the ones particularly worth following?
The Wolf Report https://michael-wolfenden.github.io
It's a weekly newsletter that brings me python news.
Probably not exactly what you were looking for though. :)
Glad you're a fan, and always excited to see my extremely lo-tech baby get love on HN.
I'll send you some swag - reply to any of the emails.
Proud you're standing with The Loaf in this crowded Weekly Newsletter as a Service (WNaaS) space.

So, you wanted a curated list of newsletters which provide curated lists?

I use my inbox as a todo list, and something like Feedly for my article consumption. It's hard to mix the two successfully.
I don't promote it much because it has some disadvantages from my end, but I see the value in RSS. Hell, I rely on them to make each issue.
* 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.
The body links was the old format. I change that a while ago, but the index page hasn't been updated yet.
I think I messed up the DNS settings.
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.

Keep it up, Pek
It's a bit broad and focus more on OpsSide, general knowledge on programming than how-to style article.
