I've always wanted to delve deep inside the OS. I noticed that this content was published in the Linux Journal. Is this worth subscribing to? Are there other magazines I should consider subscribing to as someone who aspires to become a better computer scientist/programmer?

P.S. I do read a lot of academic papers. However, these often don't cover the state of the art in industry.

Subscribe to LWN.net. It's full of high quality technical content like this on a regular basis and it's cheap. Content is available for free after a week or so, but if you're genuinely interested in this stuff the headlines will sit there teasing you and you'll want to subscribe.

This. I can wait for the week myself but it's the only thing with decent technical content out there.

Also, the starving hacker price is something like $30 a year. Definitely worth it to support that kind of quality, in depth content. :)

Linux Journal recently went digital only but the quality and range of topics has remained good. Linux Journal covers most open source topics, it's not really limited to Linux.
