  1. What a mess. And where the fire was is in pretty bad shape, too. The guy that kept his face in front of the camera and wouldn't stop talking was too irritating to me to watch the whole video, but I saw a hazardous, sloppy work area. So my comments are I'm glad nobody was hurt and why did it take so long to have a fire?

    Why do you have two APs? WiFi penetrates to adjacent floors on a typical residential home with no trouble. I have a 3-story (including the basement) house with my AP on the middle floor, and I have no connectivity problems at all. The problem with WiFi is line-of-sight distance; if your house is a giant 6000sf McMansion and is really spread out, you could have a problem, but as long as you're not far away from the AP it should be fine.

    Sorry, you brought theory to a practical fight.

    The cool kids are using Go for their server apps and infrastructure projects.

    While their parents are taking real jobs and paying the bills!

    Sadly, those kids are hired and keep chasing the latest and greatest (including jobs) and leave their one trick pony app behind that was written in "the next big thing" language with no knowledge transfer or support.

    Money is tight, so I'm short the Apple Tax to do iOS development. But I have a jailbroken device.

    What do I do to install my own App, that I developed myself, on my own jailbroken device?

    IIRC $99 bucks to be legit or you could run them in the emulator. Putting them on your own device is not required to do development. Write something cool and you'll have volunteers.

    But lets be honest, if you can afford an iOS device you can afford a subscription. It's all a matter of budgeting priorities.

    I know it's a nitpick, but isn't 7:01 a.m. - 12:29 p.m. more like 5.5 hours? I understand that they were an hour faster than planned (meaning they planned 6.5 hours) but the title seems a bit off nonetheless...

    Considering the ISS orbits the earth about every 90 minutes, it was more like 3 days and an hour.
