I need to rave about #Python.
One of my colleagues has deep knowledge about #GreenhouseGas calculations but doesn't write code, in any language. She was giving me instructions on how to perform a calculation, which I kept getting wrong. Frustrated, I just show her my Python code.

Lack of https support on a page with a gpg public key supposed to be used to encrypt security hole reports 😮
(And the WOT paths to the only person to have signed that key are not great either.)
