I am trying to create multiple forms with a max_entries = to the number of usernames in the db. I realize it would probably be simpler with javascript the problem is I don't know any javascript. What would be the best way to do this using fieldList?

How do I create multiple forms with a max\_entries = to the number of usernames in the db? Here is the code I am basing this on [https://prettyprinted.com/tutorials/how-to-use-fieldlist-in-flask-wtf/](https://prettyprinted.com/tutorials/how-to-use-fieldlist-in-flask-wtf/) I tried this version in [app.py](http://app.py)

Also I just want one of the forms filled out at a time.

class UsernameForms(FlaskForm):
usernames = FieldList(FormField(CreateUserForm), min_entries=0, max_entries=0)

I also tried this example with not having `max_entries` in [app.py](http://app.py)

class UsernameForms(FlaskForm):
usernames = FieldList(FormField(CreateUserForm), min_entries=0)

I got the above idea from chatgpt so I am not sure if it will even work.

Here is a simple working example.

Here is my example [app.py](http://app.py)

Also when I try to go `flash(number_of_usernames_in_db) I get 5 so that can't be the problem.`

Flask, Gunicorn, multiprocessing under the hood. Optimal number of workers?

I'm in the process of configuring my flask app, trying to find the optimal configuration for our use case.

We had a slow endpoint on our API, but with the implementation of multiprocessing we've managed to roughly 10x the performance of that particular task such that the speed is acceptable.

I deploy the image on a VM with 16 cores.

The multiprocessing uses all 16 cores.

The gunicorn documentation seems to recommend a configuration of (2*num_cores) + 1 workers.

I tried this configuration, but it seems to make the machine fall over. Is this becase multiple workers trying to access all the cores at the same time is a disaster?

The optimal configuration for my app seems to be simply 1 gunicorn worker. Then it has sole access to the 16 cores, and it can complete requests in a good amount of time and then move onto the next request.

Does this sound normal / expected?

I deploy to Azure and the error I kept seeing until I reduced the number of workers was something like 'rate limit: too many requests' even though it was only 10 simultaneous requests.

(on second thought, I think this rate limit is hitting a memory limit. When 2 requests come in, and attempt

Why Django

Why would you pick Django over other similar frameworks such Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Phoenix, Adonis, etc?

I hear lots of people say Django very rarely has breaking changes - do you stand by that?

New Deep Learning Framework; Zephyr is on early release; active development

What My Project Does

It is deep learning library / framework on top of JAX. Zephyr was motivated by an inclination to writing FP because JAX was FP. Zephyr reflects the nature of networks and layers, they are simply mathematical functions. By reflecting this, you are able to write code quicker and easier with minimal learning curve.

Target Audience

This framework is not ready for production nor general use. It is in active development and if you do use it, I highly appreciate it and so if you submit reports or requests, I will tend to them immediately.

It is for people who would like to use JAX in an FP way.

Comparison 

Within JAX: Flax, Haiku, and Equinox are your options; within python you additionally have Tensorflow and PyTorch. All of which are OO. In contrast, Zephyr is FP and you write nets and layers as functions.

OO - FP: Because zephyr is FP, it looks similar to math and it enjoys shorter code because there is no 1) initialize the module 2) call/forward/apply the module. There are only function calls. FP is more explicit tho

Here is a short example. (Some variables are not specified for brevity). README for more.

Replacing CharField with ForeignKey

In my model Event, I have the following field defined:
  
event_type = models.CharField('Kursart', max_length=20, choices=EVENT_TYPE_ALL, default=ALLGEMEIN)

Meanwhile, the application has grown and I have to gerneralize the event_type. The optimal solution would be a ForeignKey to a model EventType holding attributes currently also part of Event.
I have established the model EventType. Now I wonder, how do I migrate the CharField to the ForeignKey? makemigrations and migrate doesn't work (obviously) because names, datastructures (ie. everything) has changed.

A migration is necessary to keep the data.

How did you get your first Django job?

Hi folks

My journey started on a job posting on social media about Someone asks about Django developer before that i got a lot of rejection before interview because of lack of experience back then

We had a good interview and they gave me a task to add to their project and i did that correctly and that's how i got my first job as a DJANGO developer

What problems do Large Language Models (LLMs) actually solve very well? D

While there's growing skepticism about the AI hype cycle, particularly around chatbots and RAG systems, I'm interested in identifying specific problems where LLMs demonstrably outperform traditional methods in terms of accuracy, cost, or efficiency. Problems I can think of are:

\- words categorization

\- sentiment analysis of no-large body of text

\- image recognition (to some extent)

\- writing style transfer (to some extent)

what else?

How do you manage email signups & newsletters in Django?

Hi all,

I've built a lot with Django but never found a satisfactory way to manage my email signups and sending newsletters. So far I've been working with a Newsletter model and then crafting emails by hand - ugly!

Have you found a better way?

Component sources

Are there any sources for making templates that can act like components?

Sort of how react libraries have material where they have docs on how to use their “select” widget

Is there any source like that for Django otherwise I have to make my own custom stuff
