These feel like fair criticisms, but the author doesn't note whether they raised these issues on the Remix github repo, or tried to fix them? It's great to identify areas for a framework to improve, but it's crucial that the team developing it are aware.


True in normal conditions, but our neocortex is highly adaptable. I can’t remember the studies, but there have been cases where a grid of actuators was taped to the body of a blind man and hooked up to a camera mounted on his head. In time, he was able to “see” edges based on the signals coming from his skin.


That's amazing.

I guess probably the orientation didn't even matter. So likely, you could seamlessly wear something like that on a patch of skin that stayed out of your way (on your back, perhaps).


This is essentially how cochlear implants work. Just get a usable signal to the brain (early in life) and let the brain sort out what to do with the information.


It's actually a little tab that the blind person puts on their tongue. Link below.

That's the current model, the Brainport. The original was indeed a chair, back in the late '60s, and there were several users. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bach-y-Rita


Nice find, I didn't know about it. Thanks for the link!


Agreed, was quite surprised not to see even a twitter icon at the score screen. Also 26?! Good job!


I hope they _don't_ have a golden parachute


How about a parachute _made of_ gold...


They're dismantling Google Plus. I know that's not the root cause for all the changes, but I think it's the major one and will result in significant upheaval until it's complete. I suspect that in a year or two, things will be a lot more settled and stable.


This looks really nice. Comprehensive, well-written tests as well. Do you integrated this with Hapi.js, just out of interest? Obviously they're both well designed to not be dependent on each other, I'm just trying to get an idea of Walmart's stack.


Looks like a great job, and good man for giving a shout out to the free alternative as well. As an existing user of Kemayo's plugin, what are the most compelling reasons for me to buy your version? An elevator pitch, if you will.


I'd probably say the status view (ala magit). Last time I tried kemayo's plugin it was all happening in ST's quick bars. However, that was a year ago so things might have changed.

Also, I try my best to keep up with user requests, which leads to about 1-2 releases a month. While there are occasionally bugfixes going into kemayo's plugin, I'm not sure if it's receiving any significant development (not trying to call anyone out here, it's just my observation from occasionally looking at the repo).


I used that for quite a while before I discovered Modific (https://github.com/gornostal/Modific). Similar functionality, except you can hit a shortcut and see what was on that line before the change - pretty useful stuff!


I'm very much hoping they allow find in Visual mode. I enabled Vintage mode in ST 2 a little while back and love it, but visual find would be very handy.

Edit: it does. Awesome.


Airbnb's Rendr seemed to be a nice solution to this problem
