Does anyone know how lwn [0] is doing? It's one of the latest very high profile publications remaining as of now.

On the topic of Linux Journal, I can remember many years ago when I bought a subscription of 100 issues for $100.
A recent series of articles were about accounting software (ie getting away from proprietary software) which is the sort of navel gazing that wouldn't happen if things were bad.
I'm not affiliated in any way but if you want to read the thoughts of some seriously clever people, then LWN is the place to go. Subscriptions start at $7 per month but if you can't manage that then you can read slightly older content for free.
Remember this colour code: #ffcc99 - you'll need that to make it look right 8)
And yet we cheer at every progress made in Web technology.
