@Daniel15 @Daniel15 I don't do the twitter thing so I missed this 3 year old inquiry. To answer your question: yes. I wanted an icon for it for some reason, made this, gave it to Apache. There were a lot of things that just happened that way. I also named Sqoop.

@anutron I realise this is a long shot, but do you remember why the Hive logo is an elephant-bee hybrid? I guess the elephant represents Hadoop, but why a bee? It is just because it's called "Hive"?

@SubtleGradient @mootools @cloudera @SubtleGradient I don't do the twitter/X thing anymore. I'm sorry I missed this! What a lovely thing to share.

Way back in 2009, my old @mootools pal @anutron bent over backwards to get me my first IRL Silicon Valley gig at @cloudera As my manager and friend, he gave me the gift of constructive feedback. Today, February 18th 2022, I finally understand. Thank you my friend! 🥰

@alliemcfeel Epitonic founder here. What do you want to know?

😌

someone please write an oral history of Epitonic. I need to read!

@oskar Loving Headwayapp. Our team was just discussing how spell check / Grammarly doesn't work in it and we had some typos in our changelog. Any plans to add support for such tools? /that MooTools guy

Update on @superhuman. Been a few weeks and the beachball is gone. I’m back to having what I think is the most powerful application I use every day. If you spend most of your day looking at an inbox, I do recommend it. My frustrating experience with performance notwithstanding.

@metcalfc @cloudera @awadallah @tlipcon @philz42 @aaron_kimball @HenryR I do miss THE SANDWICH. Tri-tip, Dutch crunch, havarti, lettuce, tomato, salt, pepper, pepperocini, spicy mustard. @hackingdata

Restaurants are facing unprecedented challenges in the face of COVID-19... onerous fees charged by third-party delivery platforms just make things harder for struggling businesses. medium.thanx.com/restaurants-ar…

@tomcoates Can you produce a similar graph that's per-capita?

@johnholland @Superhuman Got an email from their CEO last night in response to my feedback to them. As a product developer, I have sympathy for why this took so long, but on the other hand, it literally breaks their core value proposition. A month to fix it is too long. They have a fix releasing now.

I switched to @superhuman a while back and fell in love with the product. It changed my work-life. But for the last month, when I go to create a new message, I get a beachball that halts my flow for up to a minute. They instantly went from being the fastest solution to the worst.

@andydeemer @Superhuman It's a shame, because it's actually a fantastic, life changing product. A month of productivity loss has been hard to bear. If they fix it now, I can probably forgive them for it, but I'll fire them if they make me endure this much longer.

All of these are @superhuman locking up on me. Reported 1 month ago to their support team. Still no fix.

@SubtleGradient @Superhuman It's 800% more than the 100% I expected when it freezes.

@anutron @Superhuman that's too many per cent

Third-party delivery providers claim that the majority of sales are incremental but won’t share customer data to prove it. Keep more of your share with digital ordering from @ThanxInc. Today, announcing truly omnichannel ordering: bit.ly/thanxordering

"It all points to a fierce battle ahead, as restaurants try to keep the upper hand and avoid becoming the victims of new digital aggregators, like music companies, retailers or newspapers before them" —medium.thanx.com/four-horsemen-…

Whenever you order delivery, a restaurant pays a price. It's the kind of transformation that transformed airlines, hotels, and others, and it's both fascinating and frightening. Give it a read.
