I am getting more and more fed up with Byte's articles. Byte has
obviously switched from being a programmer magazine to what it is now,
a consumer magazine specializing in equipment reviews. I'm not sure when
it happened, but I've seen no evidence of the invasion of the reviews in
1983 issues.
Is there any magazine out there which is NOW, what Byte was five years ago?
Or have they all become consumer rags?
Please email any resonses; I don't usually read these newsgroups.

I like:
MacTutor (good only if you like macs)
Dr. Dobbs Software Tools (still prints source code!)
Both of these have been good enough that I've sent in orders for
disks of one-month's source code.
Computer Language (these two are okay, not as good as the above)
AI Expert (turned me on to "Structure & Meaning of Computer Programs"
by Abelson & Sussman, which got me writing constraint propagation
systems in C.)
Software Practise & Experience (Imported from England, and too expensive
for me to subscribe to, but it usually has one really nifty
article every month or so. I read it in the library, but someone
keeps stealing them.)
I don't have a good suggestion for a magazine with hardware construction
articles. Electronic Musician? Radio-Electronics?
(Anybody got an easy construction article for a digital delay unit,
preferably with MIDI control?)
