Both the financial and real economies have suffered quite a few shocks in the last 20 years: the dot-com bubble bursting (2000); September 11 (2001); the Great Recession (2008); and today in 2020 the COVID-19 crisis is wreaking economic havoc. It was much different in 2008.

His basic argument was that each new generation of tech - in his narrative (a) mainframes, (b) personal computers, (c) early internet, (d) mobile / cloud - had a greater influence on the longevity and vitality of economic performance than anything that the Fed did.

And if I switch tabs to view a paper from 2008, then a song from 2008 could start up. To provide some coherence to the music, I decided to use Taylor Swift songs since her discography covers the time span of most papers that I typically read: Her main albums were released in 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2022.

SQL Performance

SEPTEMBER 17, 2019

In the early days of SSRS, a requirement was to also install and configure Internet Information Services (IIS). SSRS 2008 brought that component into the reporting service module. The way I like to explain how to license Reporting Services is to think about the reporting service as an application that uses SQL Server on the back end.

Tech, and especially tech services, went counter-cyclical a few months into the last recession (2008). We saw this in the housing bubble, the internet bubble before it, and bubbles going back to the Dutch Tulip trade in the 17th century. There's been a sea-change in the technology sector, from counter-cyclical to pro-cyclical.

From 2008 to 2013, the Chrome project was based on WebKit, and a growing team of Chrome engineers began to contribute heavily "upstream." Over the years, developers have suffered mightily under the thumb of entirely unwanted browser diversity in the form of trailing-edge browsers; most notably Internet Explorer 6).

Nowadays, there are three built-in tracers that you should know about: - **ftrace**: since 2008, this serves many tracing needs, and has been enhanced recently with hist triggers for custom histograms. It's fast, but limited in places, and usually only suited as a single-user tool (there are workarounds).

In 2008, AWS opened a point of presence (PoP) in Hong Kong to enable customers to serve content to their end users with low latency. Then too, Internet service providers can shut down their services any time they feel threatened by the DDoS attacks. Since then, AWS has added two more PoPs in Hong Kong, the latest in 2016.
