You are right about the declining quality of Dr Dobbs.  It and most of
the "popular" software press seems focused on premature promotion/
creation of the next "bandwagon" for Web-based applications.

Your best bet is "IEEE Software" or some of the other IEEE journals.
I used to be a member of ACM but found that the quality/interest of
ACM Queue and other publications was trending downward.

I also enjoy reading the Air Force publication CrossTalk. I think
Crosstalk has good editorial standards.
