ASK HN: Would you want to join a computer science newsletter?

2 points by bilalcg 2 days ago

We all know that there is a serious amount of knowledge in the field of computer science that one can potentially explore. I mean there's no question to its endlessness (and even practical utility).

At the same time, we also know that the current education system isn't rigorous enough to expose us to a lot of this knowledge. Or even if it does, the knowledge is shallow.

My question is: In your current state (whether you're an undergrad student, or a grad), would you want to join a newsletter that delivers weekly insights of given topics in computer science to you in considerable depth?

If not, then what might be your reasons for not wanting such a newsletter?

I want such a newsletter but my reason for not wanting your one is that you are not the Lunduke journal nor HN crowd. Demonstrate your values first.

You'd probably want to make the newsletter free (and then charge people to add job listings at the end.)

I'd like a newsletter that tracks upcoming changes to the major languages, new features in IDEs, major conferences, interesting online comments on the social media feeds of various language creators or core maintainers. (Some of the day-to-day growth of programming languages really isn't being tracked anywhere...)
