There are a lot of these newsletters at the moment. I’m not sure how to differentiate them. Does anyone have a list of the ones particularly worth following?

Yes. But how do I know you're any good at making that list?

Minor things I've noticed whilst looking at archives, which made me somewhat puzzled for a bit: * Pressing Escape redirects to a Squarespace login, which is weird (was trying to get out of Ctrl-F seeing if Python was listed) * You have article headlines that aren't clickable to get to the article, instead relying on body links.

That is very odd behaviour indeed. I will look into this. I wonder what that could be... The body links was the old format. I change that a while ago, but the index page hasn't been updated yet.

The Escape thing is default Squarespace behavior. I believe you can turn it off in your site settings.

You crowd source it, and eventually you end up here[1].

The ones that give you other ways to subscribe besides email, is how I differentiate. I am not interested in getting articles in my email, it's for correspondence only.

What other ways do you get newsletters? Twitter? SMS? ???

RSS or just directly on the webpage, either are preferable.

I use my inbox as a todo list, and something like Feedly for my article consumption. It's hard to mix the two successfully.

I'm subscribed to this for a few months now and I must say that in general I'm pretty positive about it. However, it is usually a mixed bag of topics and the perceived quality -- or actually how much I enjoy reading the curated articles -- differs from day to day. Some days it is just a collection of "I did this thing in Typescript/Vue/React" type of articles and it just happens to be my preference that I dont find m…

If you don't enjoy `"I did this thing in Typescript/Vue/React" type of articles` you may like my news letter: https://betterdev.link.

It's a bit broad and focus more on OpsSide, general knowledge on programming than how-to style article.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Indeed, because of our limited resources, we are only able to share 3 articles per issue, which has a high probability for all of them to be a "miss". We are making moves to grow, and hopefully that means more articles per issue and thus more value to our readers.

I am also very glad that you find the number of articles found in Hackernews and Reddit is low. That means that my time spent shifting through my list of more than 1,000 (and growing) RSS feeds actually produces good results, which was a bet I made early on when deciding what sources to use for my curation.

Try this: https://www.humanreadablemag.com/morningcupofcoding I think I messed up the DNS settings.

Both name servers for humanreadablemag.com, when asked about www.humanreadablemag.com, returns two CNAME records, leading to different names: www.humanreadablemag.com. 900 IN CNAME humanreadablemag.com. www.humanreadablemag.com. 900 IN CNAME ext-cust.squarespace.com. This is not even allowed by the DNS RFC’s, so I don’t know how you even managed to do this. Fortunately the TTL is only 15 minutes, so when you fix it,…

So, the squarespace one I think was automatically added when I connected my account to it. The "humanreadablemag.com" one I guess was there before I connected squarespace and is used for "www".

I guess I should delete the latter? I don't want to do anything stupid and bring the site down :/

Huh. I never knew this was a thing. Anyway, I just disabled it.

Thank you for doing this, I've found the newsletter refreshing and, even if the handful of articles aren't my cup of tea, they aren't retreads of stuff I see elsewhere. Programming language of the day is an especially deep well of stuff I've never heard of. Even though I'll likely never use any but the most mainstream of languages, it is always interesting to see what pops up.

Also, yes, I do take likes/dislikes into consideration. It's a very helpful tool that helps me see when I've done something people really didn't like or liked a lot. For example, my editorial on Google's AlphaStar was very well received: https://us18.campaign-archive.com/?u=ab0f46cf302c0ed836e0bf0...
