http://hackermonthly.com/ focuses on all of hacker news, and is a little pricy, but a very nice publication, and will cover programming, but also other topics HN (and possibly you) would be interested in.

It's a bit pricey ($99/yr), but ACM membership gets you a print subscription to Communications of the ACM, which is pretty good. It's somewhat on the research side of programming, but since its 2008 relaunch it's a lot more practically focused (no more journal-length articles; new guidelines of 10-page articles with no more than 10 citations, that must cover a topic of general interest with minimal specialist prerequisite knowledge).

XRDS is pretty cool. It's the ACM's "crazy stuff grad students have done lately" magazine.
