Ask HN: Alternatives to HN

Re: Ask HN: Alternatives to HN
#132http://TheChaosEngine.com focuses on video game development (art, programming, design, general topics). To get full access you would need to send an work email to confirm that you are from the industry. There are also some indies, educators, and ex-video game folks (so it's not a strict order).
There is also http://www.altdevblogaday.com/ also for game development.
Recently http://flipcode.com has been getting up from long sleep (it was my favourite site back in the days).

#133I wrote a Chrome extension designed to filter HN down to the more technical posts. It might help. You need to download/load it as an unpacked extension, due to the new Chrome security policies, sadly

#134Slashdot, if you don't mind a heavy dose of Internet Meme along with your Interesting Discussion. There are also sites which focus more on specific topics... if you're into server-side Java stuff, there's http://theserverside.com , if you're into programming language research, there's http://lambda-the-ultimate.org , etc., etc. And a lot of the more niche subreddits are actually pretty good. Stay away from /r/funny,…
add /r/reverseengineering and /r/netsec to that Not that active but the little stuff that gets posted is usually high quality

theserverside.com is almost dead and lambda-the-ultimate.org very limited in scope.

esp. stay away from r/programing. It degenerated to the moderators' fanzine.

#138http://hn4hn4x.herokuapp.com/ I built a tongue in cheek tool to keep track of communities like HN that might be relevant to other interests. However, I'm the only one that has ever used it, and I think all the things I've submitted have already been mentioned here.
This is fun. I wish there was a way to edit or delete my submissions -- I accidentally submitted a dupe and messed up the title of another.
Fun little app, thanks for sharing!
