This is what I do and it's great. CloudFlare supports HTTPS for GitHub Pages, would definitely recommend it as although Namecheap is pretty good CloudFlare make everything DNS, CDN and security related soo easy for $0. (I'm not affiliated with them in any way :P )

The route from the user's browser to Cloudflare is encrypted (https), but the route between Cloudflare's servers and github pages is only http as Github does not support https for custom domains.

User <---https---> Cloudflare <---http---> Github pages


As long as your github page has https (it does) Cloudflare can do full HTTPS all the way through, and even strict to require a valid ssl cert (which github has).


I don't think this is correct for GitHub Page sites that use custom domains. See [1] and [2].

Any tips on how to configure this? I'm pretty sure my setup has the problem that ploggingdev talked about.

I acknoledged the issue given, but considered it better that the content the user is accessing was hidden for their privacy - the link between Cloudflare and GitHub is backbone-of the internet stuff and has a whole different set of risks. Would be nice to plug it.



Or "Hey Guru". Sounds like Google, sounds knowledgeable, does not sound like a brand.

Also means 'accomplice' which is pretty neat.


They are, and the interconnects are 4 bit. These were used by first year undergraduates for years before the Big Hex Machine was built, so sturdy Ethernet cables were cheaper and more reliable than many other options.


Yup, we used 4 wires for data and 4 for power - there's a 12V supply which is spread around and downregulated to 5V on each board. We picked ethernet because it's extremely cheap, hard-wearing, widely available and has enough wires to play with.


USB3 ports and cables are (when spec compliant) easily distinguishable from USB2 due to them being blue. Why was the same not done for USB-C (black for USB3, red for Thunderbolt)?


How is it going to help to a regular user? I doubt regular users even know what those colors are for, adding more colors just brings more complexion


At least you (or technical support) can look up the difference. If the cables all look the same then you need to physically test the cables to know their capabilities, which is a waste of time and resources.


Colour is one of the easiest communication methods we have with 'Regular users' as they already use them as a natural key elsewhere - even things like credit/loyalty cards (Chase, Virgin) or games consoles (green vs blue vs white)


I saw this on a 1080p 15.4" display and whilst the switch to #555 was not especially jarring in itself, it made the harshness of the perfectly white background more prominent.


Loved trying it - been waiting for an cross-platform improvement on iA Writer's markdown editor - but tried to sign up and hit a 503 D:

Would love math support too, but I guess you've got plenty to do anyway for now.


Got it to work. Just waiting for mobile support now :D


Josh, maybe you don't get how difficult Speech Recognition is now that it comes as standard in your smartphone, but they use Google/Apple (delete as appropriate) servers for a reason. There's a reason people were amazed at the response time of Cortana - local speech recognition that doesn't hog the processor is a big deal.

And connecting to O365 calendars offline? Is that not a stupid concept?


Last time I checked, and it was few years ago, analyzing voice locally was much faster than what phones do today - because well, mobile networks have latency. The round-trip to cloud and back itself can easily take a second.


I'm well aware of how phones handle speech recognition; there are reasons they do so via services that have little to do with the computational difficulty of speech recognition. It's not by any means necessary to upload raw voice data to a server and process it there, especially if we're talking about full computers rather than just phones.

> And connecting to O365 calendars offline? Is that not a stupid concept?

I said "local", not "offline". Though in any case, you should likely have a locally synced cache of your calendar for efficiency and the ability to read it offline. Web apps are quite capable of working while offline.


> we're talking about full computers

Worth mentioning: Windows 10 is not just for "full computers."


I'm aware, but the line is becoming increasingly blurred, and there's enough power on even the average phone to do speech recognition.


> And connecting to O365 calendars offline? Is that not a stupid concept?

Did we enter a new era where using your calendar offline is considered a special case ? I would assume there are few people who actively modify the same calendar, and it's pretty easy to tell a user when they modify a calendar offline meaning that it's not synchronized on other devices; is there really a need for making calendars online first ?


A little "Recommended App" tile underneath your "Most Used" list.


I still have no idea what you all are talking about. After fresh install, my Start looks really barren, I'd even welcome these mythical ads...

Wow, that's huge. Are you in tablet mode? If not, you can drag the edges of the start menu to resize it.


Yes you can resize it, to 1/4 of that or so.


That doesn't seem too invasive.
