Often it's on technical subjects, but not always. Most recently I read an academic paper on a new method for accelerating the execution engines of dynamic programming languages. The new copy-and-patch technique allows such an engine to generate more optimal code very quickly and without manual programming of machine specific hand tuning that is often not economically viable.

Speaking more recently, I enjoyed reading a paper and this article about the paper. "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?" concerning the mind-body problem.

I enjoy that "learned something new" feeling.
