I'm not in favour of speakers but it would be effective while a bear bell certainly won't.


Only if the house is less than 500k


It's 5% on the amount less than $500k, and 10% on the amount from $500k up to $1m.


which is not even sufficient for a 1 bedroom place in the vancouver area.


Oh yes they do excellent work in form type workflows - sharing their patterns as well which I love

Ex: https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/design/form-structure


This is super-useful. Especially given I built and run a forms SaaS targetted at central gov in the UK.

It's interesting how so many form products discount themselves from this space by either requiring javascript or not being able to deliver the html+css specified in https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/

There are still snags though. GDS have made some, let's say questionable, tech choices that go against their own mandates, and they're reticent to engage with the commercial sector to help departments adopt their designs/standards. But, overall, it's an excellent resource and makes designing and building forms so much easier.

Can you tell us more about this?


As the rebrand was outsourced (like most rebrands) the "why" is absolutely not so designers can justify their salaries.

Design as a department is very often under resourced and I'd take a strong wager that the designers who actually work for Tropicana were dreading all the unnecessary work this rebrand was surely going to generate for them.


You can probably figure out a way to do this with Blackhole but Audio Hijack will for sure if you just want to pay for an easy to set up app.

So far this looks great. The share interface seems nice which is about the only thing I use these apps for to be honest. Anything that makes that faster to fill out is a win in my books.


Browsing your old bookmarks and looking for something you saved in the past is valuable as well. Pins comes with full-text search support and a On This Day page for all your nostalgic need.


Just casually let ~150 million people die. Cool.


> who gives away used clothes that are still in good conditions

In North America I think most people do. Charity/Thrift shops are packed to the brim with used clothing not to mention organizations that very specifically bring used clothing items to those in need.

I believe most people do not keep all their clothing items until they are entirely worn out. Changes in taste, body changes, getting rid of unused items, moving to a location with a different climate etc.

In most cases people are donating the clothes not reselling them. You put it in a bag and drop it off.


Meh. I can't open any of our old sketch files at work because I don't have a valid license for a version that works on the newest OS. All the same as being locked out of a server in the moment.


This does not make any sense, newer versions of Sketch open old files just fine, and licences are valid for any version.

Maybe you were trying to say that you can't open new sketch files because your version of macOS doesn't support latest versions of Sketch? That is, indeed, a problem. However, if you work only with internal files, you can simply abstain from upgrading to new version and keep working on the version that works for you. Moreover, Sketch licences do not 'expire', you simply can't receive updates any longer. So you can still work with your files as long as you need, not relying on someone else's actions.


Except one is your choice, the other you have no control over?


Is Sketch doing anything for print? I haven't used it for a few years now and back then it was digital only.


Sketch isn't a print design tool, that is all still very locked up in Adobe with Affinity being the only real competitor. Not sure why it's being brought up in this context.
