There has been renewed backlash against Medium lately. It stems from an idea that Medium has engaged in bait-and-switch tactics and generally has not been a good citizen to all users all the time. And, honestly, bait-and-switch is so common with Internet startups, they must teach it somewhere.
It goes something like this:
- Offer free or cheap product (while burning through VC cash)
- Gain users
- Raise price or change the product; Pray you retain users
I remember being floored by Instacart's low prices on grocery delivery—until they went through the above cycle. Uber already went through this cycle very clearly with the driver side of their business and it seems they are preparing for phase three on the user side as well (to pay for some of the driver side backlash).
It's a thing these startups do. And we should, rightfully, be pissed a lot of the time.
During every cycle of Medium backlashes, we tend to experience a bump in signups due to word of mouth for DEV. This is sensible, given that DEV is oftentimes thought of and described as a Medium alternative for developers. But if your primary concern is Medium's use of the
baitAndSwitch algorithm, moving to another platform with the same incentives to eventually pull the switcheroo, you should probably avoid us too, right? Well, since we would love your business I want to wax philosophical about this idea.
To be clear: We already try to be forthright with our intentions on these issues. We are an open source platform and are generally transparent with our goals—but this really isn't the full story.
DEV is a part of the developer ecosystem
In examining DEV's purpose outside of the ethical question of how one should act as a platform, the key element is that we are designed wholly to serve the developer community inside and outside of our community—and this is inspired from platforms that came before us.
The origin of DEV is based on the idea that Medium very obvious lacked interest in specifically serving the developer community, exemplified most bluntly in their lack of syntax highlighting for code snippets. Not that all developers agree that syntax highlighting is a good thing, but if Medium had any intention of being a product for developers, they would have offered this feature. It's table stakes.
From there, it was easy to find more examples of this lack of interest in our market. It was clear to observers already that their interests were in serving a very abstract concept of "publishing", not in serving the specific needs of the software community—but the paywall was the nail in the coffin here.
Developers truly use platforms like Medium (or DEV, or the blogosphere) in ways similar to how we use Stack Overflow, GitHub, docs sites, etc. We go there for answers, we go there to take part, we go there to get our jobs done. We get our jobs done by a) Googling to solve our problems, b) Hanging out and upping our skills by immersing ourselves in the conversation or being a fly on the wall to intelligent conversations, and c) Establishing a reputation, making connections, discovering job opportunities, etc.
Content restrictions are an obvious deterrent to all of this—yes there is a time and a place for charging for some things, but in general the software ecosystem is built on the ready availability of a lot of good ideas. We simply can't get our jobs done without our words being indexed and available in search engines, and having the capacity to further the discussions in abstract ways.
In its origin, I felt that DEV had to exist in the world as a part of an efficient developer workflow. It's a consistent reading experience, it has a consistent notion of following individuals and software trends you care about, a consistent daily experience of idea discovery and self-improvement. The broader developer community can also be harsh, exclusive, and downright mean. If you've hung out around here, you know that addressing this issue is also core to our mandate.
When your central concept is solving developer problems, you have a reference point to work from. I can't imagine attempting to address the nuanced concerns of developers from a broad, generalist perspective. Medium had no chance. The developers were always an edge case.
In service of the developer-centric mission, published content meant for the masses will always be for the masses. Additional features and tooling will always add on to these core concepts, not replace them—and we can't wait to keep serving the community the best we can.
One last thing to say about all of this...
We do wayyyyy more than blog posts.
A "post" on DEV can be a question, a discussion, an AMA, etc. You just can't silo these kinds of interactions on their own islands.
I loved the answers to this recent #discuss post:
What are you "old enough to remember" in software development?

Closing thoughts/going forward
In furtherance of our open source mission and general intent to be a trustworthy player in the ecosystem, we are set to embark on new projects related to the generalization and re-use of our core codebase, and an adjacent project related to general self-hosting and decentralization concepts we feel are simply important (and exciting). I'm not sure if these new ideas will come out in the form of a clear and articulate roadmap, or if they'll creep out through smaller announcements and idea threads along the way.
Hopefully we'll find ways to be clear about the outlook as soon as possible. 😄
There have been some good projects pop up around self-hosting and decentralization. I'm excited about how we plan to get into this space as an open source company.
P.S. you can cross-post to DEV from an RSS feed like Medium or your own blog by adding the feed URL here in your settings. We encourage cross-posting as a pattern and offer simple ways to set your
Happy coding!

I posted my final Medium post recently, discussing why I've moved my technical writing to DEV and my thoughts on blogging/content ownership in general.
I'm glad to see reinforcement of the ideas of an open-platform and serving the greater development community - both writers and readers.
This will result in developers holding DEV to a higher standard, and I believe you guys are up to the task.
Thanks for the hard work creating a great place for us! 👍👏
I do not have much experience with Medium or DEV except publishing my first article on both platforms in the last few days.
I published it on Medium on the 30.05 and so far got three views, the same article I put on DEV on the 02.06 and till now got 62 reactions, 666 views, one comment, and 61 followers.
It looks like this is the right place to publish articles for developers. 😄
I use Medium as both a developer and non-developer. I agree they do not target the developer community, but have been reasonably happy with them as a literary community. I post short stories, poems, and other editorial pieces there. They tend to have more of an audience there than my programming articles.
It's the story of startups that ultimately you need a way to make money, and unless registered as a non-profit, you need to make profit. Bait-and-switch is almost essential at this point, as the market has been conditioned to want products cheaply. Additionally, services which profit from user data (profiling, such as Facebook), skew the price point at which services can be offered.
It's a difficult challenge to market a community and balance it with financial needs. The pressure only increases as the community increases in size. Many places face an unfortunate situation of either switching the service, or going bankrupt.
I'm glad you'll be open with the intentions and progress of dev.to. Every bit of success will be met with a new set of challenges to deal with. :)
I recently just started using DEV and you mention in your Post Script the RSS feed import and canonical settings. I have to say, it's WAY better than doing it with Medium. So thanks to you and your team for making that process awesome! I think the idea of POSSE (indieweb.org/POSSE) is super important to the web going forward :D
I think the idea of POSSE (indieweb.org/POSSE) is super important to the web going forward :D
Agreed. And what we really want to make sure is that it's both powerful and simple to do.
- Simple: It just works when you need it to work, it isn't a matter of way too much manual effort to do simple things.
- Powerful: It needs to leverage the platform well. There is certain kind of content that is kind of "special" for DEV, like our custom liquid embeds that augment markdown etc. We are compatible with RSS and markdown, but the best way to use our platform is to make the most of it, so we'll be thinking through ideas where compatibility and power are maintained.
We're excited to build cool things along with the community!
"The broader developer community can also be harsh, exclusive, and downright mean. If you've hung out around here, you know that addressing this issue is also core to our mandate."
please never stop addressing this. a lot of learners quit after a visit to those exchange sites (looking at you stack!)
it is important for me to have a place where i can just absorb information and ask questions without negative feedback! i've become much better at expressing myself and coding simply because of the vibrant healthy community.
ps: i always like all 3 ( heart, pink-mane horse and tag emojis) but i dont really know the differences and/or uses, someone care to explain?
pps: if this was asked on some exchange network (:coughs) i'd be downvoted before i even reload the page.
Re: PS: the bookmark icon adds to your reading list.
The other two are the same for all intents and purposes but I promise we'll eventually find some more meaningful ways to differentiate the interactions.
And you can bet that inclusion will always always be front and center in our effort.
I've always wondered the diff between the horse and the heart. I guess i'll just use them both from now, ☺.
Btw, DEV is awesome but it sets me off when i'm on a slow network and I click a link to a post. There's no sign that it's loading. Sometimes i click repeatedly. I feel something could be done to improve on that experience.
a lot of learners quit after a visit to those exchange sites (looking at you stack!)
This is why I always had a love and hate relationship with stack sites. They are invaluable in their sheer number of questions and how much I use it on a daily basis but some of the comment sections are so hostile I never could get myself to take part.
Contrary to Medium, Dev.to is not trying to replace you personal blog or publication, rather its trying to enhance it and bring it to a broader audience. That's why I like your platform and in my opinion that is the reason why Medium is failing, they tried to bait people to move to their platform completely and then lock them in.
I used to like Medium because of its minimal UI. But its UX now-days is really sub-par with its annoying pop-ups and limited capabilities for editing rich text.
I still use it for Index Zero (I write articles explaining computer science concepts) because it does have a pretty UI and my articles rely heavily on pictures and not much code. I actually like how the landing/home page looks.
But if I am writing articles where code is important and I need to be able to communicate things quickly, I use Dev.to.
I took a look at Index Zero. Nice job! Have you considered some sort of video like format as well for your content?
A video format would be interesting but I feel like at least for me personally I prefer static content to video content. I just feels easier to process because I can sort of move through the content at whatever speed I want, if that makes sense.
That is true. I just thought with your illustrations and explaining it could be a nice fit (ex. Khan Academy like).
The syntax highlighting was a huge issue and something my readers would get upset with. I would post images of code and end up linking to repos or gists because I wanted to show the code, but I wanted it to not just look like a wall of code.
But what upset me the most about Medium is the enormous drop in engagement. Even with editor curation on certain posts (I have 3 that got picked up via the "programming" tag), I'm seeing significantly less views, reads, and comments. The whole promise of curated posts was around getting your content in front of Medium's audience. Had they not picked up those posts, I feel I would have had more engagement because my audience of developers doesn't appear to be Medium members. Maybe at most they are Medium users, but they don't seem to be paying for access to content.
Medium seems great if you want to write some shock-and-awe viral opinion piece for a mainstream audience, but you are totally right in saying its not part of the developer ecosystem.
I have to admit, as a developer two main points led me to write here instead of Medium (I only have a few posts cross-posted there because some curators asked me to).
- The UX was better for my taste. Write some markdown, hit publish, done.
- It seemed like a fast growing community and I wanted to be part of this before it became too big (like Medium already was) to gain any recognition. :D
First of all, whoever came up with that cover image should has a Madmen level marketing chop. Just clever and hilarious.
On the topic, now that I come to think of it, Medium free clapping feature might have been a form of manifestation of the bait-and-switch strategy. It's difficult to trace how many claps a user gives to an article. If you have a few close friends give your article as many as possible and it's behind the pay wall, then your article becomes a revenue generator for the wrong reason.
First of all, whoever came up with that cover image should has a Madmen level marketing chop. Just clever and hilarious.
Yours truly, thank you. 🙂
And yes, I agree with that assessment. Medium is a funny little game in terms of how the claps and the paywall and everything in that ecosystem fits together.
Great article Ben!
I want to know what is the monetization model of DEV.
You know I have been reading and following articles on DEV from quite 2 years or so.
I'd love this platform to thrive but would like to know your thoughts, roadmap etc. :)
PS: sorry if it is documented somewhere.
We have a few pillars of monetization, some mature, some more in the works:
- Sponsorship (once a month shoutout, inclusion in our main newsletter, etc.) We try to model it after "conference sponsorships", in that they are a natural part of the ecosystem but nothing we want to go too hardcore with in terms of overrunning the platform with unpleasant ads.
- DEV Listings — In that post I get into specifically how that works in relation to our business model.
- Special events/contests: Online hackathons, etc. We've done one of these and it went over extremely well. We wan to make this more regular as an additive event the community loves.
- Support contracts for devrel teams who want to make the most of the platform: Training in community-first business practices etc.
- Pro features, specifically for devrel, but anyone who wants to go deep into DEV: Advanced analytics, alerts on topics etc. We see these as things we'd rather build specifically for a subset which would like to pay, rather than provide everything to everyone all the time even if it's really only a small subset which would care about and benefit.
- Commercial open source initiatives: As an open source project, we are exploring the future of allowing more use cases for our community software and offering hosting, support, special licenses etc.
- Misc future projects: Maybe a conference? (No promises here, but it's an idea!)
We would describe our model as hub and spoke: We have a core community platform we are not interested in trying to directly monetize all the traffic from, but as a company devoted to the dev community, we have a lot of adjacent areas where monetization fits nicely.
We think this is all pretty scaleable, but very longterm thinking. The fastest route to monetization (and often exploitation) are obtrusive ads and paywalls. These are not in the roadmap.
This stuff isn't all that well documented in any one place, but it should be.
Misc future projects: Maybe a conference? (No promises here, but it's an idea!)
A conf where topics and speakers came from the community!
Writers and readers meeting and discussion everything DEV/dev!
I would love to see something like the Technical Writers Summit find a home at an event like this!
Yes, please!
Is there any plan for Reddit style donations? Like Reddit Gold but similar. If you can do humblebundle style book things I think that will be quite interesting too and promotes a lot of goodwill from the community.
Amazing! I know some of them previously. Definitely looking forward for a conf (happy to volunteer!)
Wish you all the best. Looking forward to do participate in this journey with the community.
And, honestly, bait-and-switch is so common with Internet startups, they must teach it somewhere.
Yes they do. It's called growth hacking.
I will acknowledge I have been in rooms where these concepts are taught, and I have been witness to blatant instruction towards really unethical deception.
It's weird to be in a room where everyone laps it up without thinking through the broader ethics. I'm all for clever growth tactics, but when there is an obvious victim in the scenario it's fairly ludicrous.
There's gray area in that things do need to change, and sometimes a segment of a userbase can be affected negatively. But the way it's taught rarely offers concern for all of this.
It's quite difficult to question all this when you're someone desperate for traffic. Worryingly, we're seeing other industries like the gaming industry also applying these ideas. Fortunately, there are others out there who are writing about alternatives to "growth hacking" (ironically hosted at Medium). Perhaps we could serve the community better by offering and researching alternatives.
The root problem I guess is that growth brings more clout/bargaining power to the table when it comes to VC money I think. There is an incentive to produce growth by whatever means necessary.
I do cross-posting! That's one of the big reasons I love using
dev.to. I usually release an article here and whenever I finally get to it (and usually after the article's popularity wanes), I post it back to my blog and set the canonical url so that my personal blog has a canonical copy.
It's such a killer feature and I don't think I'd be on here without it.
Yes, Medium was never really well suited for Devs. Lack of proper syntax highlighting is a good example.
But what Medium could give, and maybe one of the main reasons that it became popular among developers was reach and visibility for their posts. At least compared with unknown personal blogs.
But then Dev.to appeared and is blowing Medium apart. ;)
Never expected to write an Article and get almost 200 reactions in 2 days, and more than 200 likes and 50 retweets on Twitter.
There is a sense of community and sharing, being focused on developers, that Medium doesn't have. And their comment system is awful btw.
So keep the amazing job.
One thing that Medium has is that I never explored is their Parner program. A friend of mine managed to get 5$ in one week with an article, which I think is not bad. Ben, what is your opinion on this? Would a program like this possible within your vision for Dev?
I never saw Medium as a place for neophyte writers to gather a following by latching on to topics that developers search for. There are enough blogs out there, and Medium rose above that mess by focusing on long form, detailed subjects. That happened to include software engineering topics.
I saw Dev as a place where community is built. Not another blogging platform. If the community here is overrun by bloggers it will be less useful for me. I have enough of that mostly useless noise from other sources.
Obviously this is your gig, carry on in whatever way best fits your needs. I just don't feel Medium has to be viewed as Evil for Dev.to to be awesome. :)
This article is great...and is on the nose. I've been migrating to Dev recently because I can read in depth or light hearted articles while commuting. And Medium keeps asking me to pay for something I used to get for free.
But the biggest reason I'm a daily Dev consumer is that I've noticed collaboration and genuine kindness. Im learning so much each time I read, and it makes me proud to be a part of such a great community. Thanks for creating this space.
After I got fed up with Medium, I set up a Hugo blog and hosted it on Netlify. Nice to have a free option, but it's a lot of machinery to go through to post - new branch,
hugo new blog.md, commit, push, create PR, make sure it looks good on the preview page, and then merge. For most of my posts, it takes longer to do all of that than to write it.
For a while I wanted to own all my writing no matter what. I'm setting up some CMS stuff to make my personal site easier, but I really like this platform, Ben (and the rest of the team!) because it feels like it's the right place for developers to write things that are longer than a StackOverflow answer, but still a blog post (not a GitHub README etc..)
These days, I write some stuff here, some there, and a lot of it posted here using
canonical_url. Honestly the things that got me to start here were that the whole platform is open source, all my posts are stored as Markdown, and I can use
Since I found Dev.to, I progressively reduced my time spent on Medium until it was down to zero, I even stopped reading their "weekly summary". Paid subscription? Absolutely not worth it, time spent reading all of the clickbait on Medium is time wasted.
Dev.to is less click-baity, less "addictive" in a wrong way, and much more community oriented. Stopped caring about Medium a long time ago and my life is better for it.
Great post. Honestly, I moved to DEV because a dev buddy of mine Michael Solati recommended me to move from Medium to DEV. I did catch myself subscribing to Medium a few times for some Dev articles I needed for a small project. It became a nuisance.
After reading this post I will be making the switch to DEV 100%.
I tried to give this post 23 claps.
Sadly... I couldn't so this will have to do.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Lol, I think you are right :D, maybe I should switch dev.to for blogging. I started writing in medium recently, hoping to get some subscribers to my company. At the same time, I subscribe to the medium partner program, started seeing some problems with earning calculation.
Just blogged about it, here,
I had switched to here waaay before this Medium thingy. I've been blessed.. Really.. Looking forward to start writing my own articles very soon.
Can we do polls too? I've been thinking about this for a week now. Can we? Pleeeeaase?
Honestly Medium wasn't ever a great place for this. The sheer trouble I had getting code snippets to work nicely with gists (yes there are tools for this but it shows bad design in the first place) that I used Jekyll for a while.
I think a push from larger groups like Freecodecamp, Hackernoon etc. also helped, and many people published tutorials that spurred it's growth. The interface also felt fresh and clean which is why people liked it.
Medium started out better and slowly went that path, and Dev.to seems like a good community today, but what if it too goes the same path?
Thanks for being so open! Really refreshing!
I know that this post wasnt all about the money etc, but its obviously a driving factor, for both users, and DEV being able to survive long term.
I understand that you need to make money to be able to host and support such a great ecosystem. As long as you kept the core the same (free to publish/read without much bias in results) then I would have no issue paying a small fee for "premium" services, such as the mentor scheme and a lot of the newer features you are developing.
I would also have no issues with dev related adds which approached you directly (i.e. not google adsense/other shitty ad services). Look at how other dev targeted sites somewhat tastefully, css-tricks have a jobs board, stack overflow target job listings at users. I know you have your sponsors and sponsor posts, they are great. But if you are ever struggling for funds, there are options that people would pay for without it having to feel like bait and switch.
Im sure you have considered all of this, but I dont know how/if you would go about floating these ideas with a community that is migrating from services that exist purely for financial gain. So I probably speak for at least a small handful of people, I will pay for and support an honest product.
Keep being as you are with this, its exciting and new with a grassroots feel. We can all make this work, and if there are some costs associated, then if its honest 🤷♀ no issues here.
I used to write on medium, but the paywall really irritated me, which is why I started looking around and found DEV. My experience here so far has been way beyond anything I expected for writing, not just the tools, but interaction with the community just seems easy. I appreciate all your work on this platform. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.
This is music to our collective developer ears!
This post is both pleasing and inspiring.
Big respect for having the foresight to stick to principles that you know people will appreciate.
When I found DEV I got it instantly, and realised it was the thing I didn't even realise I was looking for (f**k Medium).
I'm trying on medium to write technical articles for a month and see what the statistics are. Then I'll try DEV and I'd like to create a final article about the adventure and the experience and even the feedback.
Developers truly use platforms like Medium (or DEV, or the blogosphere) in ways similar to how we use Stack Overflow, GitHub, docs sites, etc. We go there for answers, we go there to take part, we go there to get our jobs done. We get our jobs done by a) Googling to solve our problems, b) Hanging out and upping our skills by immersing ourselves in the conversation or being a fly on the wall to intelligent conversations, and c) Establishing a reputation, making connections, discovering job opportunities, etc.
I love this excerpt, it really speaks to what i do most of the time on the internet (when in developer mode), i even use discord for answers now as its the modern IRC chat that i never had being a Gen-Zer

The climate station in the parking lot may or may not be appropriate, depending on how it is used. It is certainly useless for recording regional climate change, but it could be very useful in a study of how surroundings influence the measurements.

In part eight of our 12-part series with working dog food manufacturer Chudleys, we take a look at the flatcoated retriever.
History of the flatcoated retriever:
The flatcoated retriever was undoubtedly the favoured retriever breed in the late-1800s to early 1900s on large shooting estates, and have long been described as the gundog of Edwardian England. Used by both Guns and gamekeepers alike, the elegant breed was capable of performing a number of roles in the field, from flushing game to picking-up on the peg.
It is believed that the breed was developed from crossing newfoundlands, setters, water dogs sheepdogs and spaniels, resulting in an agile dog with a long, silky coat. In the 1860s, the breed was given its flatcoated retriver name, and a year after The Kennel Club was founded in 1873 it was entered into the club's studbook – making it one of the very first registered gundog breeds.
Flatcoated retrievers dominated the early retriever trials, but after the first world war the labrador took over and the long-haired breed became far less commonplace. Thankfully though, a number of flatcoated retriever enthusiasts continued to breed litters with great working values which are still around today.
Flatcoated retriever traits and characteristics:
Flatcoated retrievers are a true retriever breed and have a tendency to want to pick up and carry anything they can fit in their mouths from an early age, making them a natural companion in the field. However, as they have a huge presence in the showring finding a pup from a good working litter can be difficult.
They also have an extended puppyhood that can last up to three or four years, with some dogs taking their puppy-like exuberance well into adulthood. Early training sessions encouraging 'down' and 'stay' commands are recommended. A common error, even after sourcing a flatcoat from the right stock, is the tendency to compare them to labradors. They are two very different breeds, and where a labrador can get itself out of problems, the flatcoat seems more adept at getting itself into them.
They are a family dog that likes company, too, so if left alone regularly for long periods of time they can develop anxiety and become destructive, chewing intently on furniture for example.
Flatcoated retrievers are a large dog with a sleek, athletic looking build. They have long heads and wide muzzles, with elegantly feathered ears that lie flat against the head. The coat, most often black and liver, is long and straight, with slight feathering on the ears, chest, tail and legs. Weekly brushing keeps the coat shiny and healthy, and light shedding occurs throughout the year, with two spells of heavy shedding.
Average life expectancy of a flatcoated retriever:
Ten to 12 years.
Flatcoated retriever health issues:
Breed health concerns include cancer, distichiasis (eyelash growth disorder), hip and elbow dysplasia, entropion, micropapilla, glaucoma and progressive retinal atrophy.
Feeding and nutrition – from a Chudleys' nutritionist:
"As a nutritionist, one designs a diet first and foremost to meet all the nutrient requirements to support a long, active and healthy life.
"For working breeds, fundamental nutrient requirements vary very little, if at all. There may be subtle trend differences between the breeds in terms of certain conditions that are more prevalent in one particular breed over another that may be helped by using appropriate functional nutrition.
"The key differences in nutrient requirements for working dogs stem from the duration and intensity of the work undertaken. The higher the workload, the more energy your dog will require. A very active dog will therefore need to eat more food, and as a result will get more of all the other nutrients it requires, such as protein and vitamins.
"It is important to know where that energy needs to come from. Sprint work requires a diet consisting of more carbohydrate and some fat – a diet of around 22–25% protein and up to 14% fat is preferred – whereas a dog working long days on a moor will rely more on fat and fat reserves – a diet with 24%+ protein and 14%+ fat works best.
"Finally, when it comes to choosing the size of the piece of food, studies have proven that all breeds prefer a kibble of around 14–16mm in diameter.
"So, choose a diet to suit your dog's workload and type, and one that provides those functional nutritional aspects as well."
Why do flatcoated retrievers make good gundogs?
A common error people have when training flatcoated retrievers is that they compare them to labradors, but it is important to remember they are two very different breeds. Where a labrador can get itself out of problems, the flatcoat seems more adept at getting itself into them. And their delayed maturity can cause issues, too.
An appreciation for what they are and what they are not is central to understanding the breed. Flatcoats are designed to be chucked in a wood or a field and allowed to hunt until they find something, rather than to be precise on straight lines, the stop whistle or hand signals.
They're good at sweeping an area, and hunt well on their own initiative. In fact, if you put a good game-finding flatcoat and an effective lab in a block of woodland, the flatcoat would more often than not come back with something over the lab. Left to get on with it, they're brilliant. But treat a flatcoat like a lab, with too much direction or interference, and they tend to either ignore you or dry up and lose confidence.
It is also important to bear in mind you're constantly training traits out of a flatcoat, whilst contending with stubbornness and an impressive memory which often leads to an 'I know best' attitude.


text: We are currently utilizing the max tender process on select shipments. I'm looking for a method to use in an agent to identify a shipment that is currently in the max tender process. The agent is listening for shipment status changes and is performing an action if the status is tender withdrawn. For non max tender shipments, it works fine. However for max tender shipments, agent fails. I think it's due to status changing while the agent is processing. I want to be able to identify the max tender shipments and exclude them from the action in the agent. Any suggestion is appreciated.

The Missoulian has an interesting article about the status of Neptune's air tankers and contracts.
Below is an excerpt:
…"The Forest Service is coming out with seven of what we're calling the Next-Gen 2.0 contracts," Neptune Chief Executive Officer Ron Hooper said. "We expected to see the notice on the first of November. We're anxious to see the RFP (request for proposals) so we can see how many aircraft we've got working next year."
Neptune still has three years remaining on its "legacy" contract with the Forest Service that covers six of its aging P2V propeller-driven retardant bombers and one of its new BAe-146 jet bombers. But its one-season contracts for three more BAe-146s have expired.
Meanwhile, the company has brought on two more of the jets, for a total of six…

Feedback on a register file design?Hey everyone, I've done the initial design of a register file (16x 32-bit registers, two write ports, four read ports) in VHDL as part of a larger project, but seeing as I am a relative newcomer to HDLs, I was hoping to get some feedback on my design, any errors I may have made, or any improvements I might want to make. Here is the VHDL: -- Register file -- Two write ports, four read ports. -- For performance reasons, this register file does not check for the same -- register being written on both write ports in the same cycle. CPU control -- circuitry is responsible for preventing this condition from happening. library IEEE; use IEEE.std_logic_1164.all; use IEEE.numeric_std.all; use work.cpu1_globals_1.all; use work.func_pkg.all; entity registerFile is port ( clk : in std_logic; rst : in std_logic; writeEnableA : in std_logic; writeEnableB : in std_logic; readSelA, readSelB, readSelC, readSelD, writeSelA, writeSelB : in std_logic_vector(3 downto 0); data_inA, data_inB : in std_logic_vector(DATA_WIDTH - 1 downto 0); data_outA, data_outB, data_outC, data_outD : out std_logic_vector(DATA_WIDTH - 1 downto 0) ); end registerFile; architecture behavioral of registerFile is type regArray is array (0 to 15) of std_logic_vector(DATA_WIDTH - 1 downto 0); signal registers : regArray := (others => (others => '0')); begin data_outA <= registers(to_integer(unsigned(readSelA))); data_outB <= registers(to_integer(unsigned(readSelB))); data_outC <= registers(to_integer(unsigned(readSelC))); data_outD <= registers(to_integer(unsigned(readSelD))); registerFile_main : process(clk) begin if(rising_edge(clk)) then if(rst = '1') then registers <= (others => (others => '0')); else if(writeEnableA = '1') then registers(to_integer(unsigned(writeSelA))) <= data_inA; end if; if(writeEnableB = '1') then registers(to_integer(unsigned(writeSelB))) <= data_inB; end if; end if; end if; end process; end behavioral; This design is intended for use on FPGAs, hence the use of default values for the registers. I appreciate any feedback you might have! Thanks, - Curt
PMOD AD5 AC Voltage Measurement Issue
Pav9495 posted a question in Add-on BoardsHello! Recently I bought a PMOD AD5 board to hook it up with my Arduino DUE in order to measure AC Voltage. In terms of libraries, I tried two - the official AD7193 library and the AD Converter one, from GitHub. The AD Converter one seems like it's based on the official DSP library from your wiki, but adapted to Arduino. With that one, I had a few problems, so I went with the other one. For starters, I have my signal connected to AIN3 and GND connected to AIN4 (both on J2). The SPI is properly connected to my DUE, settings are SPI_MODE3 and SPI_CLOCK_DIV32 (initially it was DIV16, but I decided to try 32 as well, unfortunately to no avail). I am powering up everything from the 3.3V pin on the DUE and my signal is 50 Hz sine wave, with a 1.65V reference. I am measuring it with normal differential type, not the pseudo type (even though I tried that). Originally, with the default library, I could measure the 1.65V, but the sine wave isn't there (because of the 50Hz/60Hz rejection filter). Trying out different things with the mode and configuration registers from the AD7193 datasheet, I tried to set it up the following way: Chop Disabled, SYNC4 (and SYNC3 afterwards), FS=1; which from the datasheet it said that the 50Hz and 60Hz rejection would be disabled. I tried a whole lot of things, but I just couldn't get the filter turned off. Reason I am writing this is that I am hoping someone here can help me with my dilema and give me the means of measuring AC Voltage, because the ADC is great. Here are my register values: Mode - 0x080001 Configuration - 0x000208 I got these register values from the AD719X AFM Simulation Software. Running this configuration there, with 5MHz of the SCLK generates the Frequency diagram exactly as I need it. But for some reason, with the Arduino library, that just doesn't want to work. Thank you a lot for reading and I'm hoping someone can help.
Register Manipulation in ChipKIT Core
JayWeeks posted a question in Digilent Microcontroller BoardsI'm playing around with timer interrupts on the DP32 using Arduino and the ChipKIT Core. I was surprised to find out that this involves register manipulation. So I can set up timers using register manipulation in Arduino, but I can't seem to do anything else with register manipulation. For example, here is some code of mine which should set up a PWM signal on pin 13 (OC4) of the DP32 using register manipulation, instead of analogWrite() function. Problem is that it doesn't work and I can't figure out why. This problem is exacerbated by the apparent lack of documentation on any of the register manipulation functions(?) that I use to set my timers up previously. I know they work, but I only found them in a tutorial that doesn't explain where they come from, or much about them at all. So I have the following questions: Am I allowed to do register manipulation for more than just timers? Where can I find more information about how ChipKIT Core uses and defines these things? What am I doing wrong with my code? /******************************** Constants ********************************/ #define T3CON_ENABLE_BIT 0x8000 #define T3CON_PRESCALER_BITS 0x0070 #define T3_SOURCE_INT 0 #define OC4_ENABLE_BIT 0x8000 #define OC4_TIMER_SEL_BIT 0x0008 #define OC4_MODE_BITS 0x0007 #define OC4_MODE_PWM_SET 0x0006 // Prescaler values // Don't change these.

The 2017 DOXA Documentary Film Festival takes place on screens around Vancouver from May 4-14. Here are five films we think you should not miss:
1The Road Forward
Marie Clements' musical documentary The Road Forward (May 4 & 10) is simultaneously a piece of British Columbia First Nations history, a call for revolution and resolve, and a portrait of a people who have retained their power and identity through community and activism.
Many of us would be lost without our smartphones, but the construction of such devices can have horrific health effects on the people who actually make them. Complicit (May 6 & 14) shines a light on the dark irony of the global electronic manufacturing industry in China, where the vast majority of the world's consumer electronics, including cell phones are produced.
3Vancouver: No Fixed Address
There is no topic that unites Vancouverites quite like housing. Everyone has an opinion, and they want to share it. Charles Wilkinson's new film Vancouver: No Fixed Address (May 6) tackles the subject from a multiplicity of perspectives.
4The Caretakers
In 2014, activists ascended Burnaby Mountain to make a camp on the future route of the proposed pipeline. In The Caretakers (May 7 & 8) filmmaker David Goldberg captures the resolve of protesters willing to do what ever it took to prevent the project from going forward.
5City Voices: Shorts Program
From a surreal trip on Skytrain to poetry on the Downtown Eastside, The City Voices: Shorts Program (May 9 & 10) takes us on an eclectic ride through the neighbourhoods of Vancouver, as we meet some of its amazing residents.

The study of seismic loading on buildings and structures caused by technical seismicity has intensified due to increase in loads. Loads are of interest not only for existing structures but they must be checked as partof an entire documentation project for new relevant buildings or for planned building reconstruction.The regions of Ostrava and Karviná were selected for study. The main reasons of our choice are the simultaneous occurrence of different types of technical seismicity: Mining induced seismicity, trafficvibrations, industrial activity effects, etc., and the existence of suitable structures for experimental measurement in this area. Individual buildings require different approaches for evaluation of their seismicload according to actual Czech technical standards.The most suitable set for initial studies will be a group of selected buildings and structures meeting the most rigorous criteria for judging the seismic loading. Reliable measurements from analyzed buildingsand structures are available for experimental work in the area. The number of places for experimental measurements will decrease after comparation with information of actual seismic loads caused by certaintype of technical seismicity in this area. The result of this evaluation will be the so-called maps of clashes of opinions, which should help to choose the measurement area and suitable structures.

Gruber is not an anomaly. He is representative of these far-left Democrats who think they are superior to the rest of America who don't agree with them. They also feel they have the right to make us comply by whatever means necessary.
Three tapes in total have emerged in which an architect of Obamacare – Jonathan Gruber – calls the American people stupid; admits he lied about it being a tax; says he changed the language to fool the American people so they could get it passed; and lauded the benefits of non-transparency.
Jonathan Gruber was a senior White House advisor on Obamacare who lied for the White House using his credentials to legitimize the lies.
He is still lying.
Gruber and the White House told the CBO it was not a tax – knowing it was – just to sell it to the "stupid" American people.
The White House's lack of transparency was something he found helpful in fooling the stupid American people.
He told MSNBC Tuesday that his remarks were careless (As allegedly "stupid" as we are, we know that is another lie).
In the past, when Gruber was caught lying about the federal subsidies, he called it a speako (another lie).
There's no doubt Gruber, in coordination with the White House, lied to fool the "stupid" Americans into supporting Obamacare. Listen until the end when Gruber calls us stupid a second time:
This is the second clip of Gruber discussing how stupid we all are:
In the third clip, while discussing the Cadillac tax, Gruber said, "It's a very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter." Gruber is an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and made his comments during a speech at the University of Rhode Island in November 2012.
Go to the 29:00 mark:
In the next video, Max Baucus uses Gruber's comments as proof we will save on premiums if we only pass this bill:
Mr. Obama, who also lied repeatedly, said you can keep your healthcare plan at least 36 times though it was obvious from the Federal Register of 2010 that we couldn't. Listen:
Mr. Obama promised to lower premiums but now the Democrats are saying Obamacare lowers the increase in premiums, which is unprovable given all the lies. We don't even know how many signed up and the Democrats are feeding imaginary numbers to the CBO,
Listen to the promise of lower premiums:

1. Re: How to specify false pathsBoTa_264741 Apr 14, 2016 6:07 AM (in response to user_296611)> Is there any way of specifying false paths or other timing exceptions for Warp synthesis in a custom component PSoC design? - None as I know. As you mentioned resolving the issue by "buffering" signals, the timing violation comes from asynchronous HDL design, so registering the outputs helps. The external pins can be synchronised or transparent, check how pin setting affects the design. There is always a last resort solution of changing system operating temperature range to 0-80 C (Design resources -> System), which would typically double Verilog code frequency limit.
2. Re: How to specify false pathsuser_296611 Apr 14, 2016 7:28 AM (in response to BoTa_264741)
Thank you.
Synchronizing the pins does indeed avoid the issue. Unfortunately it adds latency to the critical path which I was rather hoping to avoid. The design is configured for the narrow temperature range already I'm afraid.
Oh well, I suppose I'll have to find some other cycles to shave off somewhere else.
Honestly the main culprit is the indexed DMA which carries an unfortunate amount of latency at the moment. For one thing the safety margin for contention is set rather high since I wasn't too sure of my analysis. I should probably also try opportunistically triggering the DMA a few cycles early, then cancelling the action if it turns out not to be necessary.

"I have a suspicion that he's converted to Judaism purely for the jokes." - Jerry Seinfeld. This audience is composed of those who chose dentistry as their profession.
A medical practitioner may not be a doctor per se but their work is just as important. This audience focuses on aiding physicians. Typical behaviors include providing health and treatment services to patients and diagnosing diseases. They may be seen researching occupations like nurse practitioner, EMTs or dietitians.
When a hospital runs out of maternity nurses do they have a mid-wife crisis? Individuals in this industry work in the field of nursing and are chiefly concerned with optimizing the care of patients and their quality of life during the healing process. They may be associated with organizations such as the ANA, NSNA and the NLN.

I first saw this car at the 2011 Concours dElegance Show in Greenwich, Connecticut. It is jaw dropping gorgeous! It has a 6.2-liter supercharged and intercool V8, which pumps 556 hp and 551 lb of torque.
I restore the best American classic car Cadillacs from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s and it is my passion, but the mixture of elegance and horsepower on the CTS-V Sport Wagon is a sight to behold. It is sleek and stylish and adds class to every driver!

The field of taxation has been a subject of importance to political economists throughout the ages. More recently in the history of social science, this area has been the particular domain of economists and students of public finance, who have tended to concentrate their efforts on the fine tuning of a national economy. Their assumption has been that economic growth can take care of most of our problems. Moreover, public finance theory has also focused on the unitary state. Of course these students recognize the existence of a fiscal federalism; but the important issues, such as stabilization and income redistribution quite correctly are of national concern. Since much of the action is at the federal level, there is no economic theory of local finance to speak of.
As social scientists we want hard evidence to be able to draw inferences. This drive for statistical significance often directs us to aggregative approaches which in turn may mask solutions to local finance problems. Suppose a city needs money and an expert has been called in to help: What good is it for the expert to know that measures of wealth, such as assessed valuation, are related to levels of taxation? How can he use this information to acquire money for the city? Descriptive and explanatory aggregative analyses fall short of providing relevant information for fiscal first aid. For revenue gathering purposes, even less aggregative approaches which examine the economic effects and attributes of different taxes have limited utility. Tax shifting, demand effects,

JUST WINE: Fluctuating weather presents a challenging harvest
It has been a few years since we have had a vintage run comfortably past Easter.
Some of the cool sites in Orange still have fruit to pick and with the weather taking a distinctly cool turn this week ripening will be slow.
The first grapes for Orange #v17 were harvested in late February.
The harvest was then punctuated through March with some record rainfalls which were welcome after the heat of February but played havoc with ripening and presented major challenges to grape growers.
The last grapes for Orange v#17, Cabernet Sauvignon, won't be picked until next week.
As the above photo shows, the Cabernet fruit has good bunch size and an excellent looking canopy for late in the season.
Cabernet and Merlot will be standout red varieties from Orange #v17.
The little taste of winter we had this week put me in the mood for slow-cooked food.
I was recently treated to an excellent slow roast of lamb shoulder which I might have to repeat for the next family gathering.
For me, lamb goes well with Cabernet wines like Ross Hill Pinnacle Cabernet or a Canobolas-Smith Alchemy from the back list but with the young and restless at home I might throw an Angullong Fossil Hill Sagrantino in the mix for something new and different.
Not widely known, Sagrantino comes from central Italy and it has characteristic dark colour, fruit intensity and assertive tannin.
The 2015 Angullong version has richness and structure and will be an excellent match for lamb.
- Sagrantino is one of the most interesting Italian red wine varieties used in Australia. A growing number of Winemakers are using this variety to make delicious wines with fruity, spicy flavors and fine structure. These wines are big, full-bodied reds showing fruity spicy aromatics and flavour. Sagrantino is sometimes blended with Sangiovese.

WhatsRemoved, though is simple to use, it can at the very least be called questionable as it infringes upon the privacy and choices of a sender
In October, WhatsApp rolled-out the functionality of allowing users to delete sent messages within a stipulated period. Though the feature was widely appreciated by many it was also equally hated by some.
Aside from its popularity (or rather the lack of it), some app developers saw an opportunity and have developed an app that lets you retrieve and read deleted messages, including media messages like photos and voice recordings.
WhatsRemoved, though is simple to use, it can at the very least be called questionable as it infringes upon the privacy and choices of a sender.
The Android app would seek your permission to read and save the notifications on your device and basically record every message WhatsApp receives. The app would then notify you the moment a sender deletes a message.
The creators state that they do not use the recorded messages "for commercial purposes of any kind". The app has three installation settings allowing users to choose either to detect all deleted messages including the media files, or detect just the messages or detect deleted messages without recording the name of the sender.
There are a few conditions for the app to work. The app does not work in muted conversations, without an Internet connection and when WhatsApp is closed. Moreover, the app does not work if the message has been deleted very fast or battery saver is on. Basically, your phone needs to receive a notification for the app to work.
Though there are numerous ways a deleted WhatsApp message can be seen, they require technical know-how. Moreover, none of them can retrieve images or voice recordings.
The app undermines an important function for which WhatsApp introduced the delete message feature. The feature was meant to avoid misunderstandings and provide some privacy.
The only downside is that WhatsRemoved records and stores all messages including what a sender did not want you to see.Though it might not be illegal to use the app, one needs to channel their own Devil's Advocate to side with what is ethical.

When I ran for Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner four years ago, I made a commitment to contribute my time, talents, and treasury to the community we love.
Working together with you and our neighbors, we improved our roads, alleys, and sidewalks. We expanded community resources to seniors and our youth as well as connected vulnerable residents to job training, educational opportunities, food, and housing. We fought for increased investments in crime fighting, community policing, public education and housing for residents at all income levels. We cleaned streets and green spaces, added new liter cans, and tackled illegal dumping. We installed new traffic-calming devices, addressed residential parking concerns, and helped neighbors resolve disputes. And we secured funding for a new recreation center that will be tailor-made for Anacostia.
We have a lot to proud of. But I know we still have a way to go before we can truly claim victory. Public safety continues to rock our community; too many residents are forced to stretch their budgets to pay rising housing cost; and some of the new development headed our way threatens to overtake our community.
That's why in my next term, I will continue work begun to tackle crime by reinvigorating neighborhood watch programs like the Orange Hats patrols and help residents overcome the fear of speaking up. I will continue working with residents who want security cameras installed at no cost. I will continue to fight for quality jobs and career training for residents. I will continue fighting to improve our infrastructure and transportation network. And I will continue fighting for quality housing for residents at all income levels.
I can't do this alone. I will need your help. That's why once again I'm asking for your vote on November 6. I'm ready to continue the work we've started as we put our neighborhood first.
Public Safety
Public safety is one of the biggest issues impacting our community and it requires "all hands on deck". I will continue pushing law enforcement partners and city agencies to address hot spots and nuisance properties. I will continue applying pressure to agencies, faith leaders, and nonprofit organizations to assist residents facing personal crises at home. I will work with partners to re-institute a gun buyback program, hiring more violence interrupters and credible messengers to mentor and connect young men and women to city services. Lastly, I will continue working to organize residents and businesses into a neighborhood watch group and push more residents to use the District's camera rebate program.
All parents deserve access to great schools without regard to the zip code they call home. I believe every child can learn if we set high standards for them. There is absolutely no justification for families lacking access to a high-quality education in Nation's Capital. And the numbers are not great in Ward 8. That why for more than two decades I have been on the front lines fighting to increase educational resources. I have called on parents to stop being a bystander in their children's education and get involved at school. I will continue to support the Ward 8 Education Council's push for innovative instruction and funding equity in our education system. It should not matter if a child attends a DC Public School, DC Public Charter School, religious, private, or on voucher/scholarship, our children are worth a high-quality curriculum, great teachers, safe buildings, and being surrounded by adults who want them to succeed. I will continue to fight for our children so they are prepared for college and the careers of the future.
I believe, as a rule, it should be an imperative that the District develop quality housing for residents at all income levels. While we already have a large stock of what is considered "affordable" homes and apartments compared to inventory west of the river, the cost of housing continues to rise. This is especially true for our neighbors who pay a large percentage of their income for housing.
From a public policy perspective, I fully support increasing the requirements for Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) from the current 8-10 percent to between 15 and 20 percent. The current rates have not done enough to keep up with the demand for housing on the lower end of the average area income. In fact, our ANC recently finalized an agreement with a developer to make 20 percent of the development's housing units affordable, well above the statatory minimums. This should be a model for how public policy can play a role in addressing our housing crisis, which is long overdue.
Many residents in our neighborhood, myself included, depend a great deal on public transit. I fully support the expansion of new and innovative transit options that improve the way people get around the city. Three things we can do now to improve transportation in our area:
Show down traffic on 16th Street with traffic calming device(s);
Return to opening parking lanes on main thoroughfares during rush hour to better move traffic through the area, especially on Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue; and
Synchronize traffic lights in the area to give buses signal priority on clogged roads and prevent bus bunching.
Community Connectedness
People deserve to live in neighborhoods where everyone—residents, businesses and ANCs—buys into the collective vision and values for their community. I will continue pushing these entities to work across visible and nonvisible boundaries on issues impacting us all. I will encourage robust civic engagement among residents and business owners at ANC meetings, community meetings, and meetups to ensure residents and businesses are supportive of each other. I know sharing information is important to having an informed community. That's why I will continue to post important community information to neighborhood social platforms, listservs, as well as ANC and community websites.
