The print version is worth just for its prank potential. I look forward to having it out on my desk during lectures. Already I get interesting looks when I am browsing Hacker News during my b-school classes. Now with a magazine with that name...I hope my classmates don't call the cops.
HackerMonthly is down for me. This is not the first time it's happened, it happened when the last issue came out, and flipped between being available and being unavailable every few hours.<p>downforeveryoneorjustme.com says it's a problem only for me, but since it keeps going back and forth without me doing anything, and every other site works perfectly, I'm not sure what I can do.<p>Just thought I'd let you know. If anyone else has the same problem, please say so so I won't feel so alone :)
As the author of one of the articles in this issue ("Plain English Explanation of Big O") I'm not sure how I feel about this.<p>Cheng did seek my permission for this and I was happy to give it but I was also operating under the assumption that the digital edition was free. I didn't (and wouldn't) expect to necessarily get paid for something that was given away but when it's paid for digital?<p>I really don't know.
I love that MagCloud is advertising in this issue. That says quite something about the quality of the work done on Hacker Monthly, about the target audience of the magazine, and MagCloud.<p>Can you tell us if you made some kind of (special) deal with them and if so what it boils down to?
I don't remember if you did this before, but I like that you included links to the HN submission of the articles in the issue, since the digital edition is no longer free.<p>Also, your link to "A Coder's Guide to Coffee" links to the wrong submission.
Cant wait until we get bulk international shipping. However: "Worldwide Shipping -
Orders that contain a single issue or total 300 pages or fewer can be shipped worldwide. Orders more than that can only be shipped to the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada." means i can now order all 4.
Do you get the digital version "free" if you order the print?<p>I ordered the print version so I can read it while taking a dump :) But I'd still like the digital version for all the other times. Hope I don't have to pay for it separately.
Does anybody know, if I buy the digital subscription today, do I get this months issue first?<p>Edit: Never mind, completely misread the notes section of the subscription page. Answer - you don't.
Just a suggestion, please make it possible to link to the current issue with a unique URL. There's no good reason why [1] works and [2] doesn't work (yet). I had to append a random parameter to the home page URL to make it HN-submit-form-friendly.<p>On a different note, thanks for offering the ebook version at the same time as the dead tree version. Well worth the 3 bucks.<p>[1] <a href="http://hackermonthly.com/issue-3.html" rel="nofollow">http://hackermonthly.com/issue-3.html</a><p>[2] <a href="http://hackermonthly.com/issue-4.html" rel="nofollow">http://hackermonthly.com/issue-4.html</a>
