I read F# Weekly every week, just to keep in the loop about what's happening with F#: https://sergeytihon.wordpress.com/category/f-weekly/

That's probably the only programming blog I regularly check, though I return to Open Mirage every now and again to see how they're getting on: http://www.openmirage.org/

I mostly just use HN, but I'm always searching for a longer list of blogs to read.

I went through the links you provided and found this:

http://prog21.dadgum.com/

I really enjoy his blogs based on his experiences in the industry and probing questions.

There are too many. HN is the best I can do, letting others find interesting content for me.

If you're into .NET and Microsoft tech, I really enjoy Alvin Ashcraft's Morning Dew [1], which is updated just about every morning with a curated list of blog articles on .NET topics.

I really love James' articles, too. They demonstrate very thorough understanding, communicated in a fairly light manner. He also writes in a style that gets you thinking instead of giving you a flat opinion.

http://ivory.idyll.org/blog/ is a good one if you're into bioinformatics and academic programming in general.

Are we allowed to suggest our own blogs? ;)

Either way:

https://github.com/paragonie/awesome-appsec - Everything on this list is at least worth consideration

'Virtuos Code' by Software Craftsman and 'Ruby Rogues Podcast panelist' Avdi Grim is well worth reading.

He's recently been learning new languages (currently SmallTalk) and does great writeups of new insights he's having and how others can apply these insights too.
