(http://careers.stackoverflow.com/company/linkable-networks)

* Company Summary

Linkable Networks was founded on the premise that the disconnect between digital media and physical retail was a major gap in delivering a great experience to consumers. Since 2011, we’ve been nose-down building a scalable platform that provides brands and retailers the ability to engage, reward and incent their consumers directly and across any channel – online, mobile and in-store. We pioneered the concept of card-linked-offers and have taken it to the next level – always-on loyalty. Both our self-service and SaaS-based platforms enable the creation of actionable ads, coupons, offers, promotions, rebates and more that let you reward loyalty... not just discount a purchase. This is the future of Loyalty.

* Technology Stack

Core Stack : { Java, Spring, Sharded MySql, Terracotta, RabbitMQ }

Mobile : { iOS, Android }

* Additional Info

We're wired into card networks and processors. We have a broad range of customers from grocery giant SuperValu where we're deployed with a first of its kind card-linked SKU offer solution to FanBank where we help enable community based Loyalty programs.

We run an agile shop with 80 successful sprints under our belts. Our process has been improved over the 5 years we've been running it so that we deliver on time and without drama. Our engineers don't sit in meetings they build solutions.

We're looking for solid Java engineers to join our team and help us build out the next level of capabilities on our platform.

On the Pleasures of Not Reading
Secret Service agent pleads guilty to stealing money from Silk Road dealers
Apple's recent decision to promote LLVM bitcode as a canonical binary form for apps ("promote" meaning mandatory on the watch) makes me suspicious they're planning something similar in their future A-series or S-series chips.

The paired relationship between the phone and watch could probably benefit from either side being able to do a little computation and coordination without having to spin up the big cores.

There, of course, I'd expect Apple to make it developers' problem to designate which thread(s) could operate in a limited environment.

I'm not a rocket engineer but this sounds like a mind-blowingly good increase. Is it just that they're early in the development of the engines and since they're taking an iterative approach this is just low hanging fruit? Even if that's the case, 30% increase seems impressive.

What? If you accept the premise that talent is actually the capacity/inclination to work harder and practice more, then no, you won't find anyone at the top of their field who overcame a lack of talent. That's the point.

If you're defining talent as some type of natural ability to be good at a learned skill, like playing an instrument, then I think there are many examples of people who weren't especially good at first but became great.

For example, Michael Jordan was good but not outstanding at basketball in high school. He wasn't actually "cut" from his high school team, as the urban legend is told, but as a sophomore, he was put on the JV team when at least one other sophomore was put on varsity. He worked harder and practiced more than others to get better. There are many anecdotes of other players, team trainers, etc., describing him as the "hardest working" and "most competitive" player they've ever met. Did he have some natural ability at basketball? Probably. But people who are close to him attribute his talent to his drive to be better than absolutely everyone else.

Another example is Jimi Hendrix. As a young boy, he carried around a broom and would pretend to play it as a guitar. When he finally got a guitar, he did not immediately belt out Purple Haze. He initially struggled with it as all new players do. Supposedly, he'd practice for several hours every day, often repeating a single note until he could make it sound exactly like a song on the radio. He slept with his guitar. He took it with him everywhere, practicing scales in any spare moments. He'd often go see blues musicians and pepper them with questions about technique. So, did he have some natural ability for the guitar? Probably. But stories from his early life point to his talent being a love of the guitar and a strong desire to master it, in part to escape poverty.

I think the point of all of this is that learned skills take time to master. There are obviously people for whom learning it is easier or harder, and there are physical and intellectual traits that can limit or promote mastery. But for most people, the key differentiator is practice and hard work.

Not everyone can become a concert pianist, but every concert pianist has worked extremely hard to achieve mastery. And most people who practice for hours every day can become very, very good – good enough to play in a band, learn (almost) any song they want, enjoy the experience of entertaining friends and family, good enough for the average person to watch them play and think, "She's so talented at the piano."

To Predict Turbulence, Just Count the Puffs (2014)
To undermine a religion, it's necessary for the religion to have fragile beliefs or beliefs proven untrue and accepted untrue. Since their beliefs are faith based, it's hard to undermine them. Believers would have to believe these findings upended their religions, which is something I find unlikely. So, it's almost impossible to undermine them.

The only thing these findings do is reinforce what non believers already know and adds to historical knowledge. Therefore I don't think it sets out to undermine religion.

Patchman | http://patchman.co | ONSITE or REMOTE | Enschede, The Netherlands

Our customers comprise of large web hosting providers all around the globe. Security is – obviously – extremely important to them. However, there’s one layer of the security stack they have little or no control over: the code of their end users. Most websites use standard software as a foundation. Did you know that about 30% of the web is running on WordPress, Joomla or Drupal? Hackers continuously exploit security vulnerabilities in these foundations to upload and execute malware. Effectively, this allows hackers to run any malicious code they want. For example: to send spam, launch DDoS attacks or inflict far worse damage.

Patchman comes to the rescue! We offer web hosting providers a fully automated SaaS solution to index security vulnerabilities/risks and resolve them by automatically applying safe backported patches and by defusing malware. On top of that, we offer a web app that helps all stakeholders (including security officers, system administrators, helpdesk employees and end users) to operate Patchman and keep the web secure.

We're currently hiring for three positions:

Disagree. I still give the Nest away to family members and friends because of how simple it is to use.

Does the Honeywell integrate with your utility to provide you rebates if you use their load shedding program? Does it have AirWave (the nest calculates how long it can keep running a fan over cold coils after shutting the compressor down to keep cooling your home while saving energy)? Does it integrate with Google Now? Does it show you the history of your heating or air conditioning over the last 7 days? Does it have an API you can interface with?

My 86 year old Grandmother loves her Nest. If she can use it, anyone can. Nest second place in the market. Puh-lease!

RAID1 will not get you any protection from bit flips unless you have some specialized software doing that.

RAID1 will speed up reading by spreading reads across both disks, but data returned by the array comes from one disk or the other, not both. This means there is no opportunity to detect if a bit flip occurred.

Adding a checksumming filesystem that is handling the RAID1 in software would solve this problem. (i.e. If it were hardware RAID as opposed to ZFS's RAID-Z, ZFS could detect a bit-flip on the hardware RAID1, but it can't do anything about it since it is not aware of the two physical disks as a redundant source of data.)

The wall plate is only needed if your drywall is already has a large cutout. When I took my old thermostat off the hole was small enough that I just painted around it and was able to mount the Nest without the mounting plate. I agree, it doesn't look quite as good with the mounting plate.

Heh, I was thinking more like the Rainbow Mansion folks need a secret handshake you have to know if you want to get into the "good" discussions.

The recent discussions of creating a new, encrypted, network out of a mesh network of base stations kind of thing. Because I think in the 21st century a secret society would exist primarily in network space rather than meat space. And of course Tor is sort of like that already I guess.
This is mostly an issue for large objects (i.e. span multiple cache lines), but have different access patterns for various fields (i.e. clusters of fields accessed together).

The other aspect of layout control is cacheline padding, which is also not present in the JVM. There's @Contended, but it's a blunt tool and not currently a public API (it's in sun.misc).

>The fact that Java's optimizer is much better than that of Go will make a much larger difference in execution speed

Yes, but that's orthogonal.
You don't need a C wire for the Nest, although if you have one it's recommended to use it. The Nest has a small internal battery and can trickle-charge from the R and W wires.
