A tragedy, yes. I can't be the only old fart around here with fond memories of John Siracusa's macOS ("OS X") reviews & Jon "Hannibal" Stokes' deep dives in CPU microarchitectures...

John Siracusa's macOS reviews were so in-depth people even published reviews of his reviews.

Certainly not the only old fart ‘round these parts.

Your comment reminded me of Dr Dobbs Journal for some reason.

Dr Dobbs was pretty good until almost the end, no? If memory serves me well, I recall the magazine got thinner and more sparse towards the end, but still high signal-to-noise ratio. Quite the opposite of Ars T.

Huge debt of gratitude to DDJ. I remember taking the bus to the capital every month just to buy the magazine on the newsstand.

Anyone remember "Compute!"? I still have (mostly) fond memories of typing in games in Basic.

Actually, bugs in those listings were my first bug-hunts as a kid.

I finally subscribed to Dr. Dobbs for the Michael Abrash graphics articles, about a month before he ended them.
