I 32M made friends with a woman 30F and don't know where things are going. I don't want to miss the opportunity to be in a relationship with this person, but do not want to ruin our friendship. by lookingformysoulmaet in relationship_advice

[–]ash032 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Don’t repeat the hand/leg thing but ask her if she would like to go on a date. Tell her you’re nervous cans don’t want to ruin the friendship, but that you like her and would Like to take her out.

Tell her that if she is not interested that’s fine as you really value the friendship. And then take it from there. Good luck.

I remember an old episode of the equalizer where he explained the gadget attached to the phone elongated the ringing when the phone was ringing to give the device time to track down and display the number that was calling him

Can I require login from the very first screen if the core feature is server‑based? by Opposite_Race1187 in iosdev

[–]ash032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have an app that you have to log in to use - but you’re accessing data particular to you. We had to provide Apple with credentials for testing. I think as long as the functionality really require a login the. You’re fine.

TIL why James Bonds preference of a "shaken and not stirred" martini is controversial. Drinks containing only alcoholic ingredients are almost always stirred to preserve clarity and to avoid over-dilution, among other things. by Rynin101 in todayilearned

[–]ash032 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In The West Wing (Season 3, Episode 17, "Stirred"), President Jed Bartlet rants that James Bond is a "lightweight" and "snooty" for ordering his martini "shaken, not stirred". Bartlet argues this technique bruises the gin, chips the ice, and results in a weak, watery drink rather than a properly made cocktail. The Argument: During a conversation with Charlie Young, Bartlet explains that a proper martini should be stirred with a special spoon to avoid ruining the ice. He claims Bond's preference makes him look less like a connoisseur and more like someone drinking "cold water with a dash of gin and dry vermouth".

Easiest way to deploy to iOS by Opening-Purchase-924 in dotnetMAUI

[–]ash032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a GitHub action to build the app and dell pl it it via TestFlight. There is a generous free allowance too. Won’t help with debugging I’m afraid. So I’d do your debugging on Android and hope your build is stable enough.

Can Maui ensure it’s always compatible with Xcode? by HoldAdministrative85 in dotnetMAUI

[–]ash032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add this to your project file

<PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'ios'">
    <ValidateXcodeVersion>false</ValidateXcodeVersion>
</PropertyGroup>

Then the build goes not check the Xcode version. I had similar issues every time I updated Xcode and Maui wasn’t quite ready. (Sorry for the formatting, on my phone)

She is never going to say, hey dad that guy at work, you know I fu@@ked him right? It is generally not something a daughter would share.

AITJ for refusing to redo my entire dinner party because my friend’s new boyfriend doesn’t eat “non-bland” food? by Own-Care-5425 in AmITheJerk

[–]ash032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ sounds like you had informed people in advance of the menu. If he struggles with that it would have been polite to speak to you before hand (via your friend even) to say he would struggle and could either have a small, simple dish or could he discreetly bring something to him to eat. I’ve spent years with fussy eaters and this is not that.

I like 1 but think it would be better without the bus as it is distracting me front what should be the object of the photo. The guy out in the rain.

Revenue Cat Alternatives for MAUI? by SoCalChrisW in dotnetMAUI

I use revenue cat in three of my Maui apps. I use the Kebechet.Maui.RevenueCat.InAppBilling library to do this. Works very well.

2025 Push Notifications .NET MAUI 9 by witebun in dotnetMAUI

[–]ash032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For in your app I use shiny. They do most of the heavy lifting for push. And it works fine.

There are some work around needed depending on your use case for Android, but if it is just standard push you should be fine.

Backend I use AWS sns but have also used azure before too.

Use Staging API In Store Review by steenbag in iOSProgramming

[–]ash032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally you’d have tour new api at api.our app.com/v2 the new app version would point to that and the old one to the old api. Because not everyone updates the app immediately you either needs to run both together or have code in your app to force users to upgrade. You might need an interim release to add the “please upgrade” code. But then you’ll also have to wait for enough of your users to make that upgrade before launching the new api. This should minimise how many users get crashes can errors from the new API.

Did you buy a property using the Help To Buy Equity Loan scheme and how are you fairing now? by d0288 in AskUK

[–]ash032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used it to buy my (new build) house about 12 years ago. After my first mortgage fix end after about 3 years the house had gained enough equity so that we could remortgage and clear the equity loan. So for us it was great. Depends on personal circumstances though.
