Cloudflare is a valid suggestion, albeit (IMO) inferior to letsencrypt in many cases. Surprised to not see it mentioned here, given that it also costs nothing, for arguably more security.
LE doesn't work here. As the fine article points out, GitHub Pages does not support TLS on custom domains. With CF, this works.
For the sort of thing that you'd host on GHP, this is totally fine in my opinion. In fact, because CF is a pretty good CDN it likely accelerates page load times considerably for Non-Americans.
(I wish it'd be possible to do something similar for readthedocs, which only has one origin and it's located in North America, but alas this doesn't really work).
Yep, the article is a great example of why one would use CF over LE. I think LE is worth an honorable mention given the topic, but it's not a big deal.
> HSBC aren't likely to be swayed by such an article.
The article is clearly aimed at small business owners. He's doing people a favor by steering them clear of HSBC. I never got the impression he was speaking to HSBC, or attempting to call them out.
> It's very easy to set up two or more business bank accounts and use them both.
This is literally second on his list of takeaways.
Open the top level submission[0]. If it's possible to delete it then there is a "delete" link. But when there are replies and upvotes - as this has - that link sometimes disappears.
You could have worded it a little differently: if a folder is not accessible in the root directory of the web server, there is no need to modify the web server config to deny access to .git.
These type of snarky responses discourage newcomers to participate in discussions. I have seen this happen to many people, so please dial back the snark.
I see where you're coming from. From what I understand you're suggesting the same thing as Hamcha, who currently has the top post: make the web root a subfolder in version control, so the version control folder is above the web root. However, when I read it, it sounded like "if you have some uncommon setup with proxying to localhost [and then filtering out requests to .git?]" which indeed sounds like addressing the issue. Your second comment clarifies what you mean.
I've found the official documentation (docs.opencv.org) to be one of the best sources online. It goes into mathematics/theory often but presents the info in a way that you don't need it to get stuff done. I would also check out pyimagesearch.com. There's a ton of really cool projects and tutorials (mostly in python but the c++/python api are near 1:1)
The same thing happened with Julian Assange. Thanks to the media, the only thing the average person knows about him is not what he helped uncover but instead that he is either a "villian" or "hero." Snowden is the new Assange.
No, they are not. During the push, there will be a short amount of time in which some parts of the website will be operating on new code, while others will be operating on old code. If many components are in play (ie using libraries) you may end up breaking things if a new request comes in at the right time.
> You made a map, then someone used the map. Isn't that nice?
Yeah, if that map was free to use, then sure. But that's not the case.
It's become all too common I see this type of argument used in cases where big name studios rip work of others without attribution. This is an extremely weak (not to mention somewhat offensive) argument which is analogous to telling a rape victim "you should be happy the rapist found you attractive."
