My sister insisted on making a vegan desert this year for some damn reason . Made cookies , refused to used butter and substituted the flour with ground up chickpeas . Really hoping this won ' t be a regular occurrence from now on . <| sep |> take a look at the US economy smh <| sep |> I adore the motion settings it ' s so amazing to watch ! The reds are very nice as well . I ' ll see if inspiration hits ! Thank you for your comments and I hope your Hyperion dreams come true soon ! <| sep |> The author of this article says about Python ' s typing That means I do not have to know the type of variable to use it . This is not really true . If the type of a variable is string , then you can ' t do arithmetic on it , because Python is stronglytyped it ' s not statically typed , but it is strongly typed . Any programming language that fails to present beginners with strong typing is a bad language to start with , IMO both Python 2 3 share the same approach to typing . Personally , I enjoy coding Python 3 much more because of the fairly elegant typehinting . I only use Python 3 for my projects , on Windows and Linux , and it ' s fine . There is hardly any stuff not ported to v 3 , as long as you ' re happy with 3 . 5 , and why wouldn ' t you be . The performance improvements in python 3 . 6 seem very promising . The abstraction required to understand the difference between unicode strings and bytes doesn ' t seem very challenging to me if you can ' t master such a basic abstraction , you will certainly struggle with modern programming in any language , including many other parts of Python . I suspect that it wouldn ' t even be an issue if you have never expected characters and bytes to be the same after all , we are all quite happy dealing with numeric types which are abstractions of implementation details we mostly don ' t care about .
