The default setup is to renew 30 days before expiry. If it fails at that point, you still have 30 days for your "fallback" to kick in. I'm not sure it's worthwhile that your fallback is either ACME or automated. In fact,

I was recently involved in my first "integration testing" project involving Selenium, Winium, and ssh (doing cross-platform testing of an installer). One of the things that really struck me as I was reading through examples and su

The whole point of naming things nicely is to reduce cognitive load. I don't see any issue with `Foo foo` because in the right context it serves that purpose, but by contrast, `Foo foo; Foo foo2` is basically always awful and is a cas

My parents have a (crappy) wireless internet provider. During most evenings and weekend, they're lucky to get even 0.5Mbps. At the same time, Netflix works fine, and the speed on fast.com (Netflix-run) will be a few Mbps (I don't

Not sure how contactless limits are set, but I suspect it's by the merchant. In Canada most are $100, though there's a handful of places that do $200. Costco is $400. If you go over the limit, you get promted to insert your card a

I'm out of the loop on this stuff, but are others doing things to prevent the situation Bitcoin had a couple years ago, when it hit $37 per transaction? That seemed to happen due to a massive price and volume increase, so is hard to de

A common situation I've run into is with "default" values and overrides, especially for configuration-type settings. NULL indicates use parent record value, while non-NULL, including empty string, means to use that value. By

That's a great idea. It would be really nice if the first direction when leaving your house was something like "Head to hwy 401 and go East".

Unless the costs exceed their current operational costs. Don't forget the time spent redeveloping on the new API, which includes validating everything is there, testing and cleaning up and removing the old (working) code.

As a consumer, is there a way to tell when this is the case? It would be nice to filter this way, similar to using "Prime" to filter to just "ships from Amazon warehouse".
