I was wondering the same question because I have an EE degree and am annoyed there is no website that spews interesting content for my profession. Maybe Planet Analog or EEVBlog forum? It's very hard to find great tutorials. I would argue that this website covers both hardware/software in the natural proportion of hardware:software developers. If I had to guess then that would be 1:30. Why is it 1:30? Because hardwar…

> hardware developers have way more at stake than their software counterparts
This is related, but software is fungible so more of the customization happens there. How many iPhone designs are there vs apps in the app store?
I'm a software engineer with interest in hardware, but I'm interested in something more than news about interesting new hardware tech. HN has more for software engineers. As someone not in the field, where do I find discussion about best practices in the industry for testing and verifying digital hardware designs? I have some project ideas about using an FPGA as a PCIe device. That seems daunting. There are a few examples out there, but they hardly teach understanding. Suitable hardware can be hand for a few thousand, well in the range of a hobbyist. Where can I go find people doing this kind of work?

Reminds me of a comment I saw on reddit:
"Verilog/SystemVerilog are not languages many people write about online. Reading Synopsis documentation and occasional seminars are the best of what you can get."

As someone trying to learn Verilog better, it's frustrating.
https://hackaday.com/ is good for hardware hacking, though it leans heavily towards Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms. Most articles that aren't about one of those platforms tend to be about retro-computing, 3D printing, repurposing hardware, and similar topics.
https://phoronix.com is great for Linux-specific hardware reviews, and is worth a subscription; Michael Larabel is one of the hardest working people on the Linux news scene.
Not exactly like HN, but http://hackaday.com focuses on small hardware projects and news.
The cross-section of articles on HaD are indeed quite good. However, the comments to those articles are often best avoided.
That said, I've seen (and participated in) some great discussions in the comments from time to time, especially the ham radio related ones.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
...and the 1st post on their homepage is about Python :)
Just looked, and this is not true. The Python article is the second link in the horizontal news scroll at the top. Nearly everything else on the page is hardware.
