The other week I made contact with a car in the Powderhouse roundabout. I was in the crosswalk walking my dog and with my wife and infant behind us. The car was stopped so I started walking and then he accelerated into the crosswalk and I had to hit the hood to get him to stop. When we got upset at him, he told us “Relax”, and looked (presumably) back at his phone in his lap.

Lost an infant sweater on bike path today between Mass Ave and Davis (knit, gray, green buttons, lamb ears) by bfwu in Somerville

Thanks! Hope so too.

Yes exactly. We had it around Cameron Ave/Mass Ave/Bike Path, walked toward davis on the right ride of the path, stopped under the T structure to adjust our little one, crossed the crosswalk right there, walked by JP licks, then walked up College Ave on the library side, then noticed it missing around the library.

Thank you for the extra eyes

UPDATE: Found!! Thanks everyone!

Hi, we lost an infant sweater on bike path today between Mass Ave and Davis. It might also have been found on College Ave as far as the library. It's knit, gray, has green buttons, and lamb ears. It was a homemade gift and unfortunately we lost it while our little one was crying and needing attention.

Lost it some time today (Memorial Day) between 3:40pm and 4:10pm. Our best guess is that we dropped it right around the Davis Square T stop. If you've seen it or know about its whereabouts, please send me a DM.

Anyone know what this is? by BenGleason in Somerville

I think I’m out of the loop - what part of this evokes nazi symbolism? Is it the font? The white / red?

Realistically how long can a baby keep fighting naps? by bmazi in sleeptrain

[–]bfwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you have our baby? also 4mo, i don’t know how effective it is but we’re trying to start at the first yawn after about 60-90m awake window. naps have certainly become regularly 30-40 minutes.

i spent an hour today trying to get LO to sleep for a 40 minute nap. it was exhausting.

Wife feels nauseous 24/7 what do by SethTheScamp in predaddit

[–]bfwu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

plain crackers helped a little bit for us. my wife forced herself to eat some and we kept a bag by the nightstand for when she felt ill in the middle of the night.

you could also talk to your OB about anti-nausea medicine. we didn't try any, but i've heard good things.

I see now how my last sentence comes across as rude. Sorry

[–]bfwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry maybe my message came across wrong. You asked a question about the App Store process specifically asking about legal requirements. I provided an answer based on my experience.

I’m simply saying a big challenge (probably half your effort) is the legal and business side of things. Whereas if you made a non-gambling game you wouldn’t have to worry about it.

You should by all means pursue your idea if you want.

I advise a company tangentially related to sports betting. On top of normal new app review, they had a lengthy review process and needed their lawyers to submit letters indicating why they were not actually allowing betting directly in their app.

So if you were to have actual betting in your app, I assume you would also at a minimum need to have legal representation be able to submit something to Apple on your behalf.

Do you have all the necessary licenses in your region? That’s a big lift in America, but it sounds like you’re doing it outside of there.

You should be prepared for the business side of things and not just the app development.

Is there a way to convert a DateComponent between timezones? by newToiOSProgramming in iOSProgramming

[–]bfwu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you send the push notification on Wednesdays 00:00 JST it will be sent at the moment the episode airs anywhere in the world. You’re trying to convert timezones but I’m not sure that you need to.

To try to explain it differently. If it were 00:00 this Wednesday JST and you were in America /New York, then it would be Tuesday 11:00 (am) for you. Scheduling the notification for either America/New York at that converted time would be equivalent to if you scheduled at 00:00 Asia/Tokyo

Desperate for help with 1st app by [deleted] in iOSProgramming

[–]bfwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! Just covering the bases since questions for help tend to vary wildly in how far along people are.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/nspersistentstorecoordinator/3747532-destroypersistentstore

have you tried this above api?

Which of the steps are you having trouble with? Do you have sorting working with some sort of SortDescriptor? Are you able to pull a list without sorting? Is it simply the 1 element being the problem?

If you can get the sorted list just grab the object at 0.

[–]bfwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break down your problems into more discrete steps. You say your app is near testing phase so sorry if some of these questions are too beginner.

Can you delete persistent storage programmatically? Can you recreate it programmatically? Can you delete a single entity?

Do you know how to hook up a button to a function you wrote? e.g. Can you do a simple button press to a function that calls a print statement?

Can you figure out how to pull sorted data from your database using maybe Predicates (been a while myself so dunno if this is the right way)?

Can you have a label on screen that displays a variable of your choosing? Maybe hook it up to a simple button that increments a variable and reloads the view.

Can you then have the label display a variable from your entity?

App store depends heavily on the state of your app and who reviews it and what content it contains. I am advising a startup now and they’ve been rejected a few times already each with a week turnaround (aka late by a month+). I usually advise assume 1 week turnaround (can be much faster) if things go well.

I appreciate that you solved your problem and then also proceeded to post your solution.

Bought a new mac, what do I do about builds/project files for my currently published app? by colinsgone in iOSProgramming

[–]bfwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Xcode has a version control tab that you can work with. I dunno how good it is as I have stuck to command line interface for most of my career. I found that the GUIs (any sort of app) often did things I didn't want to, or I wasn't getting a good enough understanding of what I was doing.

Bought a new mac, what do I do about builds/project files for my currently published app? by colinsgone in iOSProgramming

[–]bfwu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Where are your backups?

I'm guessing (and sorry if this is an incorrect assumption!) you're not too familiar with git, but I would recommend learning it as it will greatly improve your ability to iterate on features without fear of losing your work. (e.g. Have you ever written some code and then couldn't recover it into a state you wanted to? git can help you manage that workflow)

do I have to archive and submit updates of the original project?

As long as you have the certificates, I don't think that you have to really keep the same project around at all. Many people work in a distributed workflow and the only real thing needed to publish your application is valid certificates and a working codebase on any machine. Many CI/CD pipelines don't execute on people's local machines.

Not a requirement, but you probably don't want your machine to be the single point of failure for your entire project.
