I'm just learning Python and Django. Most Django tutorials I've seen have recommended using a virtual environment to install Django. Is this necessary? Is it only necessary if your using windows command prompt? I'm just trying to understand why this would be the case.

A simple background subtraction motion detector with an adaptive threshold

I made a simple motion detector (reference background subtraction) with an adaptive threshold for pixel delta, so it can work in low light and in bright conditions without changing the thresholds manually.

The video is a coding time lapse. The code is actually a comparison of various experiments/settings so it is slightly longer than needed (about \~100 lines). I commented on a text file during the time lapse to share my thoughts while coding.

From here, it is easy to convert this to a consecutive frame differencing approach so it can work with continuously variable background lighting (i.e., a motion detector that can work throughout the day as the background lighting dims). Some tests:

Django restful file upload progress

I am relatively new to django dev, mostly using Django Rest Framework for my projects. I am unable to figure out how to show upload progress when i POST a file on the API endpoint(api/upload for e.g). I tried using [DRF-chunked-upload repo](https://pypi.org/project/drf-chunked-upload/), but the documentation made no sense to me.

I just want to get an API response of sorts from DRF so i can reflect the upload progress on frontend.

I am using ReactJs as a frontend for my web application with DRF as my backend...

Any guidance would be much appreciated :)

JupyterLab Minimalist Container

I've been using containers to create isolated ML environments for a while now and have relied heavily on the awesome [Jupyter Docker Stacks](https://jupyter-docker-stacks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) project. Having stable, portable pre-configured environments ready to go has been awesome.

However, the minimalist in me wanted to slim down these images as they include much that I never used. And so I began working on a project I am calling [jupyterlab-minimalist-image](https://github.com/gitjeff05/jupyterlab-minimalist-image). Now open for feedback and requests.

In addition to making the images smaller, I wanted:

- A simple and intuitive Dockerfile (~20 lines)
- To be based off the [Official Python Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/_/python)
- Multi-stage builds
- A Reduction in dependencies (only what is necessary)

In the end I was able to make significant reductions when comparing to the `jupyter/scipy-notebook` image that I was using. Specifically, I saw a **%75** reduction in image size and an **%88** reduction in lines of Dockerfile:

| Image | # Layers | # lines in Dockerfile | Size (GB) |
|---|---|---|---|
| `jupyterlab-minimalist` | 10 | 22 | 0.663 |
| `jupyter/scipy-notebook` | 21 | 190 | 2.67 |

As I note in the docs, this is not exactly a fair comparison because the scipy image from Jupyter Docker

A few months ago I asked the Django community here if anyone would be open to talk about their tech stack and lessons learned from using Django in production on a podcast I started. You crushed it! Here's some of the results

The original post was here: https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/gddnh0/are_you_running_any_type_of_django_app_in/

Since then:

- Over 30 people have filled out the form to become a guest on the show
- About 28 of those episodes have been recorded
- 12 of them are live on the podcast site as of this post

The Django specific episodes are at: https://runninginproduction.com/tags/django

Episodes range from a small team creating their own insurance company from scratch with a 300,000+ line Django app running on a Kubernetes cluster on AWS to folks who just deployed their first Django project on Heroku. Every episode has a different Django app with a different tech stack / story.

**I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came on or happens to listen to any episode.**

The only downside is it will take a few more months to publish the rest of the episodes since it's a weekly show. With that said, if you don't mind waiting and you want to be a guest on the show, I'm always open to having new guests on! The form to get the ball rolling is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdaCRorXztETX1rQxcYT67OTkF3BKb-max99RYpRPrEiO-sKw/viewform
