Should I use a custom user model or seperate models to store my data

Hello everyone. I'm kinda new to django and am looking for some guidance on how to set up my models. The webapp im building will record information such as name, phone num er and address when the user registers in addition to their email and password as login credentials.

I've always thought the login details should be kept seperate from the user information in terms of database design. So in cases like this, is it considered okay to just abstract the user model to store all I need and the login info, or should I have 2 seperate models?

I should also add I have other models that are linked to the user via foreign key.

Why not?

Yesterday, I came across a series of fun demos about browser windows acting as one.

So... I thought... us backend devs can do it too 💪🤣. I know it's not the same, but it was a fun experiment. sharing the results!

simple-html 1.0.0 -- fast html rendering for people that don't like templates

I just released 1.0.0 of simple-html. As far as I can tell, it's typically faster than jinja2, django template rendering, dominate, and fast-html. It's type safe, straightforward, and doesn't try to do anything too complex.

I'd be interested in any feedback -- thanks!

Large Scale LinkedIn Job Scraper

Hey everyone, over summer I created a LinkedIn scraper to clean and store almost all real time job postings, along with dozens of attributes. You should only need 3-4 accounts to keep it reliably running, since it utilizes targeted requests rather than loading entire pages.

Here’s the repo link:

https://github.com/ArshKA/LinkedIn-Job-Scraper

There are a lot of extensions you can create and attach on top of this code, for both market/industry analysis, and for personal use (such as implementing your own searching/filtering mechanism + easy apply script, social media bot, etc). Anyway, have a look and let me know if you encounter any problems.

Also, if you’re into data science, I posted a large chunk of scraped data on Kaggle which I’ll be updating, so feel free to check it out:

Should I have seperate user and person models

Hello everyone. I'm kinda new to django and am looking for some guidance on how to set up my models. The webapp im building will record information such as name, phone number and address when the user registers in addition to their email and password as login credentials.

I've always thought the login details should be kept seperate from the user information in terms of database design. So in cases like this, is it considered okay to just abstract the user model to store all I need and the login info, or should I have 2 seperate models?

If seperate models is the way to go, how would I go about providing the user id to the person model if they're created on the same form?

P Yolov8 hyperparameters for best generalization

I’m training an object detection model on yolov8 but my training data is a little biased because it doesn’t represent the real life distribution.
(I want to count objects of one class but different shape in a video and need them to be detected with near equal probability. )
How can I make sure to generalise the model enough so that the bias doesn’t have too much of an effect?
I know it will come with more false positives, but that’s not a problem.

Frontend framework for a backend dev

I'm looking for a frontend framework to help me build a web app. I'm decent at writing basic CSS and JS however I find things like React a little too complicated, but I want something more modern than Bootstrap.

It seems like a combination of HTMX, TailWindCSS with Alphine.JS is popular. I'm a little worried about so many moving parts but open to try it if there isn't a single solution.
