Hacker News Reader

2600: The Hacker Quarterly[0]. I probably end up reading only about half the article and the quality varies widely. But the magazine covers a wide range of topics and I always learn something or hear about something I wasn't previously familiar with.

So happy to see other 2600 subscribers in here. This is the only print magazine I subscribe to. I also don't read the entire thing but it's always a combination of interesting perspectives, articles by true enthusiasts hacking around for fun/exploration, and nostalgia.

Fun fact: they published an article I wrote on hacking AIM profiles + away messages back when I was in high school.

I also subscribe to 2600. And, yes, the quality varies, but I tend to read all of it (but not all at once), and also always read something I have not seen before.

(But, unfortunately, ligatures and smart quotes are not disabled for fix pitch text in their typesetting system. I wrote a letter to them about it, which they published and replied to, but it still isn't corrected. But other than that, it is good.)
