I still have third party cookies on my website is because I'm using Google analytics. Is it possible to use a internal module of Django to do this instead?

I made a command-line tool that gives you granular control over bulk deleting your Github gists

Source code: https://github.com/ben-n93/gists-gone/

What my Project Does: From the command-line you can bulk delete Github gists. You can be specific about the type of Gists you want deleted - what language, when they were created, whether they are public or private.

Target Audience
Github users/anyone who uses Github gists!

D Every annotator has a guidebook, but the reviewers don't

I submitted to the ACL rolling review in June and found the reviewers' evaluation scores very subjective.

Although the ACL committee has an instruction on some basic reviewing guidelines, there lacks of a preliminary test for the reviewers to explicitly show the evaluation standards. Maybe we should provide some paper-score examples to prompt the reviewers for more objective reviews? Or build a test before they make reviews to make sure they fully understand the meaning of soundness and overall assessment, rather than giving some random scores based on their personal interests.

Included template has a script tag that should be executed at the end of body

Usually you extend layout.html or something similar and just add a block for scripts.
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block scripts %}

{% endblock scripts %}

Right now I want to do something slightly different. I use a component in multiple places, it calls a function that gets included in a script tag at the bottom of layout.html. So I have to execute the components script tag after the include in layout.html.

{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block content %}
{% include 'component-with-function-call-that-should-happen-later' %}
{% endblock content %}

Possible component with script tag that should be executed after the script tag in layout.html.
<script>
someFuncCall();
</script>

I can't extend the block scripts because it's an include. Do you have a solution for me?

Free and open-source landing pages

Hi all,

I have been working on building a list of landing pages for independent developers and wanted to share it with the community.

You can browse and download the templates here: https://awesome-landingpages.vercel.app/

Github page: Free landing pages Github

Why use this templates?

Honestly to save time. Besides, it can be hard to develop everything by yourself, especially if you are freelancer or developing solo SaaS project. So you can use this templates to make it easier and quicker.

Features:

Responsive.
Technical SEO optimized (uses correct tags, like h1, h2, section etc)
Tailwind built in, for rapid development (uses `tw-` prefix to separate tailwind classes)
Quick customization, just change texts.
Frontend framework independent: Comes with basic html, css just enough for your perfect landing page, you are free to modify and use any frontend framework (React, Vue) if required.

Whom is this meant for?

Developers who have tight deadlines.
Freelancers looking to show a prototype or use a template to build faster.
SaaS Developers who don't want to spend too much time focusing on landing page, but instead want to ship more.
App developer who wants to have a web landing page. (helps with your SEO game)
People looking for inspiration and ideas.

Will there be new templates?

Yes, new templates

Any Django-focused agency owners here? How do you find your leads?

Not asking about insights, but just curious in general. We are actively searching for customers on LinkedIn and Upwork. Upwork works sometimes, but it's very unreliable. LinkedIn is quiet as hell. PPC marketing is extremely expensive, like tens of dollars per click.

The best way to get new customers appears to be to do a good job and make your customers recommend you to somebody else. It's kinda cool when your customers enjoy results, but sucks if you want to scale. So what are your thoughts?

BitZoo: My first Python project.

# Backstory

Skip this if you're busy. Scroll down to the main part.

Hey y'all! It's been a few years since I learnt the basics of python, and then came a brief pause in my learning journey. I have coded a lot before this, in python, but never really been serious about stuff. Anyways, I recently decided to get back to it and started working on my first ever Python project.

I can't submit a GIF here somehow, so here's a sped-up Gameplay of it.

# What My Project Does

This program is a terminal based (TUI) game, inspired by the common lifesim games all around (like InstLife, Bitlife, AltLife, etc), but in no way, close to them. A lot is basic in here, and a lot is missing. I've tried to use this project as an opportunity to test my programming skills.

The game comes with basic lifesim elements like:

Home Screen: Where most of the gameplay takes place.
Profile: The player's profile.
Activities tab: Where the player can choose to do something.
Relations tab: Where the player can view their relations.
Career: Where the player can look for jobs.
Lifestyle: Where the player can buy different lifestyles.



# Target Audience

This is a toy project

Add a profile model to a custom user model

How do I add a profile model to a custom user model?

I have a working custom user model `A`. It is working in that sense that after registration, a database entry is established. Now, I want to extend `A` with a profile model `AProfile`. For ordinary user models, one uses `user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)`, hence I typed `user = models.OneToOneField(A, on_delete=models.CASCADE)` but it doesn't work. Accessing the profile via `request.user.aprofile` yields `RelatedObjectDoesNotExist: A has no aprofile.` What am I doing wrong?

I basically followed: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/topics/auth/customizing/#a-full-example but replaced/inserted the information I need, fi. removing `date_of_birth` and adding `first_name`, `last_name`.

Custom user models are hard and unintuitive.

Edit: The Code:
```python
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import BaseUserManager, AbstractBaseUser


class SurffreundUserManager(BaseUserManager):
def create_user(self, email, first_name, last_name, password=None):
"""
Creates and saves a User with the given email, date of
birth and password.
"""
if not email:
raise ValueError("Users must have an email address")

I've noticed when I try to update my flask database structure it takes much longer than it used to. Why is that?

I just added a model to my Flask project and updated it by running `flask db migrate` and it hangs for a long time here. It happened the last time I changed the project too. The time it takes is about five minutes. `flask db upgrade` is zippy as usual.

Anything I should be checking for?

The table I added just now is a super simple one. A couple small integer and string fields.

D Is it even appropriate to be comparing open source LLMs to closed models?

For example comparing LLaMA-3 to GPT-4. To me it doesn't make sense because it feels like comparing a model to an actual product. A product being a model with a bunch of other things that have been applied (e.g., pre-/post-processing techniques).

My first published FOSS | DynamicDict | Yet another dot-access dictionary wrapper.

Here's my first real contribution to the world of open source: https://github.com/gebnar/PythonDynamicDict

What My Project Does

It's a dictionary wrapper that allows attribute access and mutation using both dot notation and dictionary-style indexing.

Target Audience

Production, with caution

Comparison

I found a couple similar serious projects out there that do the same thing. I think mine approaches the space from a slightly different philosophy. My priorities were preserving namespace, making usage feel predictable in a "pythonic" way (whatever that means), and lots of dunders for high interoperability. I also added several safety/convenience features to make usage in production a bit safer, including optional strict typing, key renaming, and a bunch of unit tests.



I knew when I started this that probably a lot of someones had to have implemented something like this before me. But I wanted to learn a bit more about python internals and object behaviors, so I rolled my own version from scratch before reading any of the others.

Having now reviewed some of the competition, I do think I bring some valuable ideas to the table.

I realize this kind of thing is a bit silly. But I've actually found it quite useful. There are lots of ways to use dynamic objects wrong. We all

What is too much type hinting for you?

For me it's :

from typing import Self

class Foo:
def bar(self: Self) -> None:
...

The second example is acceptable in my opinion, as the parameter are one type and the type hint for the actual attributes is for their entire lifetimes within the instance :

class Foo:
def init(self, par1: int, par2: tuplefloat, float):
self.par1: int = par1
self.par2: tuplefloat, float | None = par2

I love django. A thread.

It’s such a straight forward framework and every time I meet someone who works with sjango, they have an amazing community that they engage with.

It’s really the framework for interesting people doing interesting things. Why do you guys like django?
