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.

When you install it you accept the license agreement and once installed there is a file called LICENSE headed GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29 June 2007 – so you know that the code is open source under GPLv3. That shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.

To simulate text messages I have used ~3 billion of reddit comments (10 years from 2007 to 2017), downloaded from pushshift.io. As a temporary workaround we can do something like this: SELECT count() FROM rc WHERE (created_utc > ( ( SELECT max(created_utc) FROM rc ) - ((60 * 60) * 24))) AND (subreddit = 'programming') ??count()??
