Best technical software engineering newsletter is Quastor IMO.

The writer looks through all the various engineering blogs from Big Tech companies and sends out summaries of the most interesting posts.

They also do technical writeups and deep dives on OSS projects and whatnot.

Here's one they did on Apache Spark -> https://www.quastor.org/p/the-architecture-of-apache-spark

I enjoy this weekly and concise email from my colleagues focused on tech coverage outside the US/West. No ads, no promos, just very simple layout.

While it definitely promotes our stories, I like the the "What we're reading" and "one more thing" which are usually interesting and external content. I think all this contributes to our fairly high open-rates and healthy organic subscription growth.

There are two other content driven newsletters for South Asia and Latin America but that global newsletter is my favorite.

It's weird how few people seem to be aware of this but the whole field of economics seems to be undergoing some pretty big transformations. One of the best sources for keeping up with this shift has been Evonomics: https://evonomics.com/

What is emerging? All I see is a scholarly rejection of neoclassical policy. Since 2007 we've seen the frightfully predictable upsurge in Keynesian ideas. The articles on that site don't seem to go beyond Keynes whatsoever.

Since 2007 there's also been a surge of interest in classical political economy, as forwarded by Anwar Shaikh and Michael Roberts. But there's no paradigm shift in this work, and I don't see any influence of this trend on that site anyway.
