arstechnica is pretty good. one of the good things they do is at times having competent people summarizing real research in very important areas the average journal is actually likely a lot worse, being the product of a rather flawed system of science-by-random-funding-constraint-and-committee. sure, read tcs if that is your thing, but that is not actually that useful information for leading ones life tbqh, ars technica may be bad, but i struggle to think what would overall be better

carry on then posted:how was byte, comparatively? i mean, aside from the columns that someone described as "jerry pournelle's computers don't work" i had a subscription as a kid and i don't know why. there were some technical articles, but iirc it was mostly product reviews directed towards "power users" and/or corporate buyers, plus a bunch of regular columns which notably included john dvorak always being wrong

this year i learned that if i want to actually understand what the state of a given field is, i need to (get someone else to pay for me to) go to a conference or workshop or w/e and hang out with the folks publishing papers and get them to talk about their unpublished ongoing research

Sagebrush posted:yeh. science and nature are the big gorillas -- though the papers are over the layperson's head (by intention), that's the Realest Science there is. read the abstracts and don't sweat the rest IEEE Spectrum is pretty good, but it's written by EEs I enjoy reading it on the plane or where I post e: https://www.spectrum.ieee.org/

AAAAARG is cool too, the “Artists, Architects, and Activists Reading Group.” http://aaaaarg.fail - good to see it’s no longer closed to the public. maybe memory of the world http://library.memoryoftheworld.org/#property=authors some others are just private groups to share white papers and poo poo im into GIS & remote sensing stuff so journals like Cartographica, annals of the association of American geographers, geographical reports of Tokyo metropolitan university, Canadian geographer etc often have articles relevant to my work and studies. some others on data viz are also p interesting to me OldAlias fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Jan 30, 2018 |
