What Adrian Did Next — Part 3 — eBay — 2004 to 2007 I’d left Sun (part 2 in this series) , and had a few months off over the summer, so (of course) got married to @laurelco, bought a “fixer upper” house in the Los Gatos mountains, and worked on getting it tidied up.

As my former Sun Microsystems colleague Eric Schrock (nickname Schrock) wrote in November 2004 : "On i386, you at least had the advantage of increasing the number of usable registers by 20%. We may get there with future technologies I'll cover later. Don't blame the straw, in this case, don't blame the frame pointers.

AWS has been an active member of the local technology community since 2004. That's where we built many pioneering networking technologies, our next-generation software for customer support, and the technology behind our compute service, Amazon EC2. We have a long history in South Africa.

I also learned a lot about how to work directly with customers, when to shut up and let the sales guy drive the conversation, and generally how technology sales works. I still code in R… One role I had for many years was to lead technical training events for the global specialist systems engineers, which we called the Ambassador Program.

Syscall count by program bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:raw_syscalls:sys_enter { @[comm] = count(); }'. bcc is powerful but laborious to program. Internally, bpftrace uses a lex/yacc parser to convert programs to AST, then llvm IR actions, then BPF. in 2004, so I have to think back to that time to understand it.

Selenium was first conceptualized in 2004 at ThoughtWorks for website automation and has come a long way from it’s first Web Driver version to becoming a W3C standard protocol. Selenium works with certain programming languages. These automated testing tools do not demand scripting/programming skills.
