08/30/2022, 5:20 PMThinking of joining, is it worth it? Also do you have print, electronic or digital for the magazines?

08/30/2022, 5:26 PMHusband says he just gets the magazine electronic any more; we used to get a paper version. I was comflating it with nuts and volts, which we do still get in paper version, plus I think he gets a ham radio magazine (ARRL), plus all the medical ones. He's much more of a joiner than I am. 🙂

08/30/2022, 6:22 PMIEEE Software. You're not going to read anything about Coldfusion but there's plenty that's general enough to still be applicable.

08/30/2022, 6:23 PMI skim Communications of the ACM. Much of it is irrelevant but still occasionally some good stuff for programmers.

08/30/2022, 6:29 PMCACM is brimming over with AI and Machine Learning articles. These fill me both with dread and extreme indifference. So I quickly skip past the armed robot dog research to get to some of the regular features about programming and web design and the like.
