Are there free alternatives to Twilio for SMS notifications?

I want to do SMS notifications from my Django app, but it seems like the standard is Twilio’s paid service. Just curious before I go this route, are there any free alternatives anyone can recommend?

I’m already paying $20 a month for proxies, and $5 a month for Digital Ocean, so I’d like to keep further costs to a minimum if possible.

Why is my JWT access token saved into my cookies when I log in manually from the back end, but not from the front end?

So, I'm using GatsbyJS on the front end on port 8000 and Django REST Framework on the back end on port 7000. All I want to do is sign the user in using their username and password as credentials. I'm using a combination of `dj-rest-auth` and `all-auth` to handle JWT authentication. Here are the paths I've created:

* Registration: `/auth/registration/`
* Logging In: `/auth/login/`
* Logging Out: `/auth/logout/`
* Getting Current User Information: `/auth/user/`

When I log the user in from the back end (`localhost:7000/auth/login/`), I get back the access token, refresh token, and relevant user data (e.g. id, username, email, etc.). When I log the user in from the front end (`localhost:8000` \- code below), I get the exact same data back from [`response.data`](https://response.data) \- access token, refresh token, and relevant user data. The only difference between the two is that, when I log in from the back end endpoint, the access token is safely stored within an HttpOnly cookie. However, when I log in from the front end (i.e. hit `localhost:7000/auth/login/` using Axios), while I get back the same response data, my access token isn't being saved into an HttpOnly cookie, let alone being saved on the browser at all. When trying to

Snake game in a single line of python

This is a fully functional game of snake in a single line of python using pygame. I did this mostly as a challenge to myself to see how compact I can make code, similar to code golf. I got it down to less than 3K characters, but I could easily get much less by shortening variable names.

edit: some bug fixes made it go over 3K chars

I made an open-source coding platform that lets you code and watch tutorials in a single tab!

For those of you who don't know what DomeCode is, I made a previous post on this subreddit about it, [https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/i9g0oo/made\_a\_platform\_for\_people\_to\_learn\_code\_practice/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/i9g0oo/made_a_platform_for_people_to_learn_code_practice/)

[**DomeCode**](https://domecode.com/) is an open-source application that helps you learn and practice code with the appropriate tools and a curated list of resources through the philosophy of practice. It’s a single workspace where you can advance your coding journey with compiled resources to learn programming concepts, take notes, plan tasks, practice coding problems, discuss interesting stuff on the Forum, meet other developers and most all have the musical element with all of it without ever leaving the single workspace to navigate to dozen platforms.

Open-sourced at: [https://github.com/the-domecode](https://github.com/the-domecode) Would love contributions and stars!

You can sponsor the open-source project at [https://domecode.com/sponsor](https://domecode.com/sponsor)

[OC] Python Automation 101 Video

Whats up [r/python](https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/)!

I spend the last few days creating a YouTube video about automation basics in Python. The video covers:

1. Basics of Selenium automation by creating an Instagram Like Bot
2. Basics of Windows Automation by starting / closing Fortnite via F8, F9
3. Basics of pixel reading Bots by creating a Fortnite idle Bot that always starts new rounds.

The key takeaway are not the bots, but the underlying automation concepts. Hope you like the video! [https://youtu.be/6Uu944IafNU](https://youtu.be/6Uu944IafNU)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask either on YouTube or here.

[D] Resources and topics to cover for entry level ML Software Engineering Interviews [Part 1: Stat ML]

Hi everyone,

I had been giving a lot interviews from late 2017 to early 2019 in ML software engineering roles. I thought I'll share a bunch of resources and some topics to look out for.

You might be tested on a subset of the topics along with a generic leetcode coding question.

[https://github.com/Feynman687/Interviews/blob/master/StatML.md](https://github.com/Feynman687/Interviews/blob/master/StatML.md)

FYI: I have interviewed a lot, including Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Bloomberg, Quora, Walmart Labs, Allen AI, a lot of mid sized companies in Bay area (SoundHound, PocketGems etc) , a lot of new 10 member team startups in Bay area (Blue Hexagon, Well said labs) and more. The list is a combination of all the topics (statistical ML only) that I encountered in those interviews. Of course, you may or may not be judged on all but knowing a bit on such topics is always a plus. For example, I never knew much on reservoir sampling until I was asked to "derive a proof for it" in a Data Scientist interview for one of the above mentioned companies. If you're thinking why reservoir sampling - it's an effective strategy to calculate Mean/Median etc characteristic for

Where can I write django tutorials?

I just got a nuxtjs authentication system working with django rest framework. It took me about 3 days to get here. From what I noticed, there aren't any tutorials out there to actually get authentication working with nuxtjs, only half written, unexplained code snippets.

I want to write a tutorial so that other users looking for a similar solution can easily consult this tutorial and get it working. What are some platforms where I can do this?

I am not looking for anything specific, just a website where I can write a tutorial, without any interviews or much hassle, and which has a good visitor count.

EDIT: www.realpython.com has an interviewing process and I'm not interested in it. I also don't think github gists is a good option.
