A small shameless plug: for the past 5 years I’ve been working on a robotics newsletter that I hope some could find interesting: https://www.weeklyrobotics.com/
off topic, how do you find time to follow and read all those newsletters?
I tried to follow couple of them, after a while it felt like everyday I am reading some newsletter. At this moment I completely stopped, because messed up my time management skills after having kids. Need to recover
In case anyone is interested, we had a similar thread three weeks ago:
"Ask HN: Which substacks do you read as soon as it hits your inbox?"
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36356476
("Substacks" was quickly turned into synonym for "newsletter".)
I've been publishing The Sizzle - a general tech newsletter that comes out daily and has an Aussie take on the last 24 hours of news - for almost 8 years. 1,300 people pay me A$60/yr to read it. There's a 30 day free trial (no credit card needed, unsubscribe any time via a one click link in every email) at https://thesizzle.com.au
https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ might be a useful adjunct to this post.
All of them and reading none. What I am subscribing to/buying is the idea that I'll read them.
Highly recommend Benedict Evans.
I actually unsubscribed from Stratechery, and replaced it with Benefict Evans since I find it more insightful (and less wordy / more to the point).
Graphics Programming Weekly:
https://www.jendrikillner.com/post/graphics-programming-week...
Now that The Morning Paper is shut down :( the only technical newsletter I follow these days is Micah Lerner's Systems Papers.
This week in GNOME
The Embedded Muse (by Jack Ganssle), twice(ish) monthly updates on Embedded Electronics parts, tooling, firmware, etc. Almost every topic you’d be into if you were trying to make or join an electronics startup.
I’ve been enjoying the ByteByteGo newsletter. The content is often very abbreviated, but the breadth of topics touched on keeps it interesting. I always learn a little bit about something new.
If you haven't yet, please check out Changelog News which I ship out every Monday! It's a newsletter + podcast combo.
People seem to like it: https://changelog.com/news

And then it's not exactly tech, but Matt Levine's "Money Stuff" :

I like Hillel Wayne newsletter: https://buttondown.email/hillelwayne/
I've found a lot of great books via https://hackernewsbooks.com/
I'll also recommend my own monthly newsletter:
https://newsletter.corecursive.com/profile
My last piece was about my struggles to get coding tasks past that last 10% done. And how part of its being distracted by social media and part is that the stakes are low.
The Diff by Bryne Hobart https://www.thediff.co/ is a finance one I enjoyed in the past

- https://www.pgmustard.com/newsletter (For Postgres news)
I started one newsletter/blog couple of months back. I write blog style posts where I write detailed articles on technical topics for example explaining the AlphaDev results from DeepMind. And I also write a links digest style post every week as well where I share some interesting articles and resources every week.
Risks Digest: http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/
Chips and cheese (in depth hardware analysis)
Asianometry (just go subscribe, it's brilliant)
and as others mentioned, the graphics programming newsletter
My 2 cents
Quanta Magazine maths and computer science https://www.quantamagazine.org/
Linas Beliūnas from Linas's Newsletter https://linas.substack.com/
prev ask HN on blogs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081
[edit: this didn't exactly answer the question, but related for seekers of technical blogs. Below however is my answer:
Ones I'm subscribed to are the "weekly" blogs of languages I use or am interested in such as -Javascript Weekly - https://javascriptweekly.com/ -Android Weekly - https://androidweekly.net/ -iOS Weekly - https://iosdevweekly.com/issues/617?#start -PHP Weekly - https://www.phpweekly.com/ -Pycoder's weekly - https://pycoders.com/
Some substacks (had more, though lots stopped their posts. I remb 2021 was an explosion of substacks.) -https://www.construction-physics.com/ - https://console.substack.com/ - https://www.chinatalk.media/ - https://micromobility.substack.com/ A couple others- https://alexandbooks.beehiiv.com/subscribe?ref=lvsmF8aNAF https://onepercentamonth.com/ ]
Off the mind, the newsletters I subscribe to: Console dev, Bytes, Changelog News, Hackernewsletter, Matt Rickard, Ben Evans, Stratechery, Unzip dev, Browsertech, Command Line, This Week at YC. All of this takes 2-3 hours reading weekly which I catchup on a Sunday night with no Read Laters.
(Shameless plug) I recently started my own newsletter to help a non-technical audience understand the big picture trends driving AI and AGI: https://newsletter.envisioning.io
I'm currently subscribed to a few tech newsletters that provide valuable insights and updates. Some of my favorites include TechCrunch, The Verge, and Wired. They cover a wide range of topics and keep me informed about the latest tech trends and news.
https://www.dataengineeringweekly.com/
I’ve found this one very useful as a Data Engineer. Worth subscribing if you’re working in the data space.
React dev?
Try https://ThisWeekInReact.com (disclaimer, I'm the author)
I also enjoy Bytes, JavaScriptWeekly, NextJS Weekly, ESNext News, Web Weekly and many others
The questions is: what are you looking for?
- General tech news?
- Career tips/tricks for devs?
- Deep dives on functional topics?
Not a news letter but I checkout technology radar by Thoughtworks
Since everything I subscribe to has already been named, I'll ask a question: anyone got any blogs/newsletters/etc. geared toward LISPy topics that they can recommend?
Cryptography Dispatches by Filippo Valsorda.
The best Aussie one is https://thesizzle.com.au/
Best paid newsletter to keep on top of tech news.
Anyone have one for latest tips/tricks with ChatGPT?
https://makernews.substack.com/
disclaimer - I help to edit this.
Mostly for front-end web but its quite useful.
Django News https://django-news.com/
Shameless plug: https://arne.me/weekly
pragmatic engineer and levelup from Pat are the ones I read the most. The first one I'm not paying for, as I don't have the bandwidth to consume more than the free edition as it stands. I probably read one article per month from both of them, I prefer Pat's and maybe is a bit more unknown.
Just brandur’s one. It’s good. Not very frequent. brandur.org somewhere.
mainly hacker newsletter and morning brew, if that counts
