Page speed is also a ranking factor. Do Google mean that you get an actual ranking *boost* from your current state or just that the small drop that you would get from having a slower website speeds from HTTPS will be ignored if it's using HTTPS? The latter would make more sense, since from a user's perspective, HTTP or HTTPS isn't relevant to the content they are looking for. It's still a good direction, but it isn't clear whether HTTPS will necessarily rank better than the same site over HTTP.
I can't see anything that's improved in Firefox since they went Full Metal Retard a few years ago. They've screwed up the UI, they've added new bugs, they've neglected to fix old ones.
What are you talking about? Firefox is now faster than Chrome, uses less memory, and has Odin Monkey.
Mozilla is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to privacy. Google is a data mining company that has begun moving towards more-closed types of projects (killing RSS, XMPP integration, etc.).
Anyone that cares about technology freedom and privacy should be using supporting Mozilla.

I have a plugin in Vim that lets me select some code and then type:Gist -p to send it to a private Gist. It automatically opens the Gist in my browser and I can send the link from there. (If using Pentadactyl, just press "y" to yank the URL onto the clipboard -- the process is very fast.) There are similar plugins for other editors too.

I like Python, but I understand why people might have a reaction to certain elements. I have a very strong, irrational dislike of 2-space indentation in any language, for example. (I don't like wavy edges on the left side of the text, especially in languages with curly braces.)
My comment was just in response to whether it's difficult or easy to email people Python code. It's easy, so if that is one of the language's "biggest" problems, it's doing well.
If you install Pentadactyl for Firefox, you can use ESC and other Vim-like commands in the browser. I get the nightly build from here: http://5digits.org/nightlies
I picked up Vim on my own while in my early 30s, because I was curious. I had already used Emacs for months, and have tried many other editors for months or years at a time. Vim has a steep learning curve, but it ended up being mind-blowing. It's like connecting your brain directly to the computer. Once you have the muscle memory, you just think something and it happens with a few keystrokes.
An experienced Vim user who is serious about learning the editor is probably faster than an experienced Emacs user. I'm not putting down Emacs, since I'm experimenting with a switch to Emacs/Evil, but modal editing is faster from what I've seen.
For help in Vim while in the terminal, just type:
ESC:h
Or just press F1 in Gvim. You can get to Gvim from Vim by typing::gui

That is a really easy problem to solve: You can just set the font of the code to monospaced in the email and the indentation will be preserved. Or send the email as plain text. Or link to a Gist. Most editors have a plugin to post selections to Gists. Or attach the code as a text file.

You can use Gists: https://gist.github.com/
