       Ask HN: What are some good tech magazines?
        
       I spend so much of my work and leisure time on devices and have
       been trying to reduce this. For example, I've recently switched to
       an iPod Classic for a lot of my music listening which has been
       quite nice.  I also spend a lot of time browsing and reading
       interesting articles, particularly on HN and want to replace some
       of that with 'offline' alternatives. When it comes to other hobbies
       (sports, music) I have found some great magazines still in
       circulation that can work as alternatives to browsing online.  I'd
       love to hear your suggestions for tech related magazines, ideally
       things I can subscribe to and get monthly/quarterly. These should
       be varied enough to cover the kind of topics we see here on HN
       daily as opposed to super general tech news type magazines.

       | My current subscription list includes;
       | 
       | Wired -- has slipped a bit, I worry they have lost the will to
       | cover cutting edge.
       | 
       | Smithsonian -- a wide variety of topics, some tech, some
       | archeologh etc.
       | 
       | Smithsonian Air & Space -- (now quarterly :-() which has good
       | space technology as well as interesting stories of both military
       | and civilian aircraft.
       | 
       | Science News -- which culls from a lot of journals and finds
       | interesting papers to highlight (I will often follow up on an
       | article by writing to the researchers for copies of their papers)
       | 
       | Popular Science, Popular Mechanics -- These have become
       | remarkably similar in their content focus, that said they keep me
       | up to date on a lot of commercial gizmos that I might otherwise
       | miss in the noise.
       | 
       | QST (part of the ARRL membership) -- Which is all about Amateur
       | Radio and so it hits a lot of interesting topics as I continue to
       | explore software defined radios both in theory and in practice.
       | 
       | I use Scansnap scanner and paper guillotine to save articles that
       | I find either particularly interesting, or I am curious if they
       | will go anywhere. There are many interesting "over night"
       | revolutions that appear years earlier as some sort of "wouldn't
       | it be cool if ..." article. Indexing them is a pain, my indexing
       | foo is weak :-).

         | Seconding IEEE Spectrum, it covers a broad number of fun
         | technical topics. Off the top of my head, some articles over
         | the past year included supersonic transportation, satellite
         | transmissions, crowdfunded space travel, COVID detection
         | mechanisms, software failures, and data compression.
         | 
         | Communications of the ACM is also a good print magazine if you
         | are interested in computer science. It has more of an academic
         | bent, but is meant to be of general interest to computer
         | scientists (disclosure: I'm on the Editorial Board of CACM).
         | Again, off the top of my head, some recent articles include
         | K-12 computer science education, a survey of word embedding
         | techniques, software-defined cooking using a programmable
         | microwave (I'm a co-author of this), differential privacy, a
         | survey of AI bias issues, and Green AI.
