What is the best way to build a flask app for Geographical HeatMap?

I have location data based on zip codes in the US. Each zip has a shipment cost associated with it. I would like to create an app where a user can select a zip code and can see the data within 200 miles of its radius on a geographical heatmap. I would like to create a map where you can actually zoom in and stuff.

It is a pretty straightforward application but I would like to know:

1) If is there any flask library for heatmaps or if not what is the best javascript library i can use for it in the frontend?

2) Is there any library that makes life easier to search within 200 miles radius from a location (zip code) in the location data. I know geopandas has the ability to do that but if it is any better library? Because first I would also need to convert all the zip codes to the coordinates.

​

Thanks

How would I go about automatically pushing new files to the heroku git, to update my flask website?

Hello everyone,

My first project in flask I've actually deployed.

I didn't do this very elegantly, but I just wanted to get something done.
I have some external data, that I track using excel. In my Flask app, I load this excel data, and display as a web page.

Everything works great, but I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to push new data to the heroku git without having to,

git add .

git commit

git push heroku

everytime I update the data.

Or at least if I have to, is there a way to automate this process, so that whenever I update my excel file, I can push this automatically to herokuapp.

I am a super noob here so sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm happy to clarify.

Any information or insight is greatly appreciated...

In coming days I'll be adding :

dynamic filter to select jobs by technology and location
ability to pay using stripe and post jobs

Side project I built using Django (a Tinder for baby names), and what I learned along the way

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a side project I worked on last year and some of what I learned while building it.

The site itself is called "My Name Fairy" [https://www.mynamefairy.com](https://www.mynamefairy.com). It's a Tinder for baby names.

https://preview.redd.it/i1hpbrei0xb61.png?width=1999&format=png&auto=webp&s=2bd0fe053d25300373f1c5618c106e1d6ecba4ee

Here's a summary of the tech I used to build it:

* Django for BE (obviously :) )
* Nginx for the webserver and serving static assets
* Postgres for the DB
* Vue.js in some places (The [card swiping page](https://www.mynamefairy.com/swipe-names) and [account page](https://www.mynamefairy.com/accounts/me))
* Plain js in other places
* Sass for the styles
* Webpack to build the FE
* Docker/docker-compose for deployment
* Deployed on a digital ocean droplet. The Postgres DB is also a managed DB from DO.
* Amazon CloudFront for a CDN

I mostly started it as a way to learn some new tech (specifically Postgres, Vue, Sass, Webpack, Docker, Nginx and deploying) and it's been great for that. It's also been fun to build something from the ground up. I've always come into a project that's already established. Having to make everyone decision from the beginning was empowering and let me play with tech I wouldn't get to otherwise.

Here are some classes I took:

* [Advanced CSS and Sass](https://www.udemy.com/course/advanced-css-and-sass/) by Jonas Schmedtmann. This class is *awesome*. Seriously, I can't recommend

I created a simple app to monitor stock market and stay updated.

I am a Data Scientist with more statistics experience. Recently I am turning my attention to learn more of the coding aspects in a variety of use cases. As part of that, I created this simple webapp with a clean UI which

let's user choose a stock/company/ETF from NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges
shows prices across a chart with customizable time periods (1d/1mo/3mo/1y/2y/5y/10y/ytd)
shows options info table closest to stock price with color codes (green-ITM, white-OTM)
any recent news about the underlying organization

Its updated live. It uses the yfinance, finviz API for data, Plotly + Dash to create the visualization and Heroku platform for deployment.

Is there are any official Python certifications?

I am using python for years as Systems and DevOps Engineer but not as a developer so I am doing a scripting not Applications.

I am looking into a Python certification program so I can get official certificate and collect the required knowledge for that.

Looking for ways to extend my flask API

Hi,

I'm quite new to flask and have built my first API based off of a sample climate Kaggle dataset which basically:

\- Writes a .csv to a PostGRES db using pandas.
\- Exposes that db via get method to replicate a db query.
\- Allows for addition of a new record using a new function in a same repository class as above.

Now, I'm kind of stuck on how to update an existing record, for example a sample newly inserted record, with the id of 8599213. Here is my basic attempt on what I'm trying to do while conserving a model -> query repository -> resource model in place.


Any suggestions are appreciated and thanks for looking!

Flask Coverage in Background Process

I am working on generating a code coverage report when running cypress tests against a flask server on a Github Action. I have that all working but now I am trying to instrument the server to get code coverage. It works locally but on the Github action I need to run the flask server in the background. When running the Flask server in the back ground it no longer generates a code coverage report.

Coding Julia in Linux. Sometimes one of my cells goes blank.

I am concerned that Jupiter notebooks has become unstable.

Sometimes all of the text in a cell goes blank. Or, it loses all of the Julia colored fonts. If I click it many times it might come back.

If I press CTRL-shift-“-“ like to split a cell then sometimes the cell gets its colour back and I can make that property propagate to other cells by merging into them using “merge cell above”. It has happened two or three times in the last month and it’s a massive heartsink.

It stays if I reboot, and copies from that notebook inherit the problem. So do notebooks if I copy and paste the text into an entirely clean notebook.

It’s enough to be out me off frankly.

What is this? How can I sort it?

It feels like a bug but maybe it’s a missed key stroke.

I made a Twitter bot that is rude to you when you @ it

I wanted to learn a bit more about the Twitter API so I decided to make a bot that is rude/insults you when you @ it or reply to a tweet. I made this as a joke and it is not meant to hurt anybody, just a bit of fun with friends. Sometimes the bot hits the API rate limit so it only replies a couple of minutes later.

I would also like to add that the bot uses swear words, but like I said, it's all for fun.

Twitter: https://twitter.com/rudebot\_

Github: https://github.com/HeyImJ0hn/RudeBot

Feel free to follow it and @ it any time.

​

EDIT: If you have any rude things for my bot to say, shoot me a DM!

EDIT 2: First of all I wanna thank everyone for the support! This is truly amazing! I also wanna say that the bot does repeat itself quite often and I'm trying to improve that.
