http://news.ycombinator.com

http://lobste.rs

http://barnacl.es

http://slashdot.org (most days)

http://dilbert.com (most of the time)

Reddit (http://reddit.com/r/machinelearning, http://reddit.com/r/artificial, http://reddit.com/r/semanticweb, etc.)

http://arxiv.org/corr

http://www.jmlr.org (maybe not every day, but close)

http://www.jair.org (maybe not every day, but close)

http://news.google.com

http://www.youtube.com - for music and for various tech videos

http://www.coursera.org - I'm working my way through a couple of Coursera Specializations, so I'm on there pretty much every day.

http://www.phins.com/phins-urls.html - to catch up on the latest Miami Dolphins news

I think that covers most of them. I'll check http://theregister.co.uk quite often as well. Oh, and the main social networks too... FB, Twitter, G+

What's the best way to get an invite to Lobsters?

Hang around HN until the subject comes up, and then post a question asking "What's the best way to get an invite to Lobsters?" :-)

Seriously, drop your email address here, or email me directly if you'd prefer, and I can invite you.

I'd also be interested in this too if possible, email is {hn username}1@gmail

Just sent you an invite.

I'd also like an invite please - {hn username}@gmail.com

Likewise {hn username}@gmail.com

Done.

I'd also love one if you have one spare. adam.copp geemayl

Would love to get an invite too. I have my email address in my profile, but just in case adding it here too - joonathan -at- fiji.ee

it saddens me that techmeme isnt revered as the best non-discussion tech site on the internet. nothing else even compares.

Thanks. Investing a bit of time to scavenge through the various arXiv CoRR categories really helped.

Yo! You from Miami?

nytimes, hackernews, reddit, youtube.

Starting to really dislike reddit though. For a while it was great as long as the subreddit wasn't one of the defaults, but even some of the relatively esoteric ones are starting to get very noisy and have really low quality content/discussion. The whole upvote system just encourages voicing arguments that appeal to the lowest common denominator, and then rephrasing the exact same opinion in the follow up comments. I guess hackernews isn't so different, aside from needing to earn upvote/downvote privileges.

But the biggest complaint about reddit is the amount of blatant marketing, especially in subs where people are reviewing products. I've seen threads where every post with 30-50+ votes voicing a complaint got voted down to <-20 within a few hours. I saw this happen in /r/audiophile regarding Schiit and I've had a bad taste about reddit since.

I stopped going to the general reddit homepage and only go to a couple subreddits. I have found the subreddit for my city is a great supplement to local news sites - it often aggregates local-focused content plus discussion very well.

Out of curiosity, do you visit Patreon directly on a daily basis, or do you just rely on the email updates? I rarely visit spontaneously; I just rely on the email updates from people/projects I'm supporting.

I rely on the email updates too. I edited the comment.

YNAB: To sync my budget

Bank of America: To see if I got charged yet another fee

Reddit: mostly r/programming r/videos r/cscareerquestions

MSDN: To read .NET documentations

Youtube: To listen to background music while coding.

For entertainment:

Comic Rocket (https://comic-rocket.com/), which means I don't need to manually check any of the comics and stories I'm reading; if there's an update, Comic Rocket will show it.

YouTube's "subscriptions" page (https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions) directly, to bypass the worthless front page.

For information:

LWN (https://lwn.net/): best news on Linux and Open Source in the industry, and the next best thing to reading all of LKML.

Twitter. Becoming increasingly tempted to use the mobile version even on desktop.

Various blog "planet" aggregators: Planet Debian (http://planet.debian.org/), Planet Freedesktop (https://planet.freedesktop.org/), Planet GNOME (http://planet.gnome.org/), Kernel Planet (http://planet.kernel.org/), and Planet Mozilla (https://planet.mozilla.org/).

Almost everything else I don't bother visiting daily; I just get notifications via email.

Wow I didn't know about the feed/subscriptions page. You're right, this is infinitely more useful than the default frontpage.

* Reddit (mostly Linux- and music-related subs)

* Twitter (my go-to social network)

* GitHub / (our company's) GitLab

* Spotify and/or SoundCloud

* Pocket (I'm madly in love with their service)

That's pretty much it.

Wow, pocket is rad, love finding new things of use, thanks!

Instapaper is a good alternative too. I personally stopped using Pocket due to its insistence on adding social-network features that I neither want nor care about in a bookmarking/read-it-later service.

I've become very fond of the Blendle news site (www.blendle.com) since discovering it on HN. It's still the beta version and might not be currently taking new customers, but it's definitely worth a visit.

It looks awesome. However, the site is quite vocal about telling me how many people "are in line" to use the service: 25,763 for me.

Nobody hasn't mentioned http://www.anandtech.com yet?

HN, Twitter, Newsblur (though mostly through the app at this point), Google Analytics/Adwords, AWQL.me, Facebook, Stack Overflow (I rarely visit the root, but find myself getting help here pretty frequently), Github, NY Times

One of the best news aggregation sites for Docker is here:

http://docker-software-inc.scoop.it/t/docker-by-docker

I love it how I say "Besides HN", and everyone writes HackerNews -_-

Gmail: incl. news alerts

Feedly (fresh articles): Ars Risk Assessment, Bloomberg, The Atlantic Business, various friends' and food blogs

Pocket (older articles)

If I have more time: HN, r/crypto, sometimes Medium

To waste time: Sporcle, Instagram, Foodgawker

Dashboards: Google Analytics, Adsense, Server Status News: Flipboard (mobile), Feed Reader, weather.gov Weekly: Bank and credit card sites to monitor usage and pay bills Seasonal: Sports

bloomberg.com npr.org stackoverflow.com medium.com

Twitter, Reddit (/r/askreddit, /r/programmerhumor, /r/80s_sandwich, etc.), HN, GitHub

BBC, Reuters, Dir Spiegel (international) for general news.

BSDNow for the podcasts. YouTube for watching old conference talks.

Morning news blast: http://skimfeed.com

Youtube/Twitch for vidya needs

Yahoo Sports / Esports for keeping up with my teams

reddit/insta/twittter for the rest

HN, Jira, Gmail, Drudge Report, Reddit, Gizmodo, Youtube, GitHub's explore section

7clams, when they still had the korean propaganda music before they went public.

- Google Inbox - Feedly - Hacker News - Twitter - Google News - Trello

Feedly, reddit, hckrnews

HN, FB, dragongoserver.net

Plus a zillion of other sites but not every single day.

I skim the NYTimes.com frontpage headlines twice daily to get a sense of what's going on. It my way of maintaining a "news diet" without completely losing touch with the world.

9Gag.com. More addictive and time wasting than HN.

news.google.com for news

/r/programming and various language-specific subreddits such as /r/python

Newsblur

HN

Reddit (/r/askhistorians, various space subreddits)
