This might come as a surprise to most people on this page but India and other countries around the world actually have there own laws and don't follow US laws. No court order is required for this data. The relevant law states this: Whe

You are right, by itself it doesn't matter. All Heroku users should be smart enough to figure this out themselves. However, Heroku should also be smart enough to figure out that all links should be https and servers should have valid c

The password reset mail is yet another train wreck. I received this email. The reset password link in it is NOT https. If I manually change the http to https it turns out that the server, click.msg.salesforce.com, is returning a certificate

Sorry but we actually cheated on that part. Redid the page so that the function that is now in Go is a separate little service that is called via ajax directly by the users' browsers. So there's no actual Python-Go interaction in

This was a financial function which calculated an internal return of return for a long series of uneven cash flows, essentially a python implementation of the XIRR function that spreadsheets have. To get to the required two decimal places o

They already do, in the sense that you'll need beefier/more machines to do the same job. Of course, using Python means you have a lot of low-hanging fruit to pick. We have a Python service where we moved ONE ~60 line recursive fun

Similar experience here roughly, albeit mine is at a smaller scale. The key phrase in your post is 'doing this 25+ years'. What you're providing is the /confidence/ that you can do it. Most outfits nowadays probably
