I think he was proposing using the TENS for muscle control similarly to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5QYpD428hAQ

I usually hate the lazy and dismissive "what's the difference between this and x" comments, but as a UX/Design focused UI developer, I think I'm part of the target market for this. But this looks very similar to FramerX without some of the things I love most about FramerX.

It looks like all the input/output is proprietary Drama stuff. Framer lets me paste in content designed in Sketch, or import production components we've already built in React. The end result of a FramerX project can be exported as a static webpage you can do whatever you want with (host, A/B test, embed).

A designer can start designing a component in FramerX, and I can later add the logic while retaining their styles/animations/interactions. Then we can pull that completed component into our component library, which can then be used in production and imported into other FramerX projects.

I can't critique anything they show on their website, and the results look great (any attempt to make interaction design easier is a godsend), but right out the gate as a web guy it seems like a big disadvantage even if it outshined FramerX as a general interactive prototyper.

Anecdotal but most companies I’ve worked with that use Slack, 1. Don’t give devs company phones (and no one should ring my personal cell) 2. Have remote people they communicate with frequently (ask the remote people how slack has included/enabled them more than ever) 3. Only use email for non-urgent, one-way, or external messaging (although bringing high-value 3rd parties into Slack has been great in my experience)

No matter your concerns about Slack, once you’re in a company using it you have no choice but to embed yourself completely.

"It’s for this reason that I didn’t ask Salameh to tell me about his crimes. The harm he caused should not be forgotten, but it must be held apart. Under international law, the right to be free from torture is inalienable and absolute—and that protects all of us."

He was possibly referring to the XSS "acronym" that the author of the library uses both in the code and in the example. https://github.com/myliang/x-spreadsheet/search?q=xss

If you’re interested in the history of stuff like this be sure to look into Beaver and Krause (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_%26_Krause). If you recognize the THX sound then you’ll also probably recognize the last 30 seconds of Spaced (https://youtu.be/2xKO3KAtDZ0). They started off as early Moog salesmen showing off equipment and ended up introducing many famous musicians like George Harrison, the Doors, and the Byrds to electronic music. They also scored for movies such as The Graduate, In Cold Blood, Point Blank and Rosemary's Baby. True pioneers in the space and good music to boot.
