`itertools` combinatorial iterators explained with ice-cream

I just figured I could use ice cream to explain the 4 combinatorial iterators from the module `itertools`:

1. `combinations`
2. `combinations_with_replacement`
3. `permutations`
4. `product`

I think this is a good idea because it is quite clear.
Let me know your thoughts:

### `combinations(iterable, r)`

This iterator will produce tuples of length `r` with all the unique combinations of values from `iterable`.

(“Unique” will make use of the original position in `iterable`, and not the value itself.)

E.g., what ice cream flavour combinations can I get?

```py
# Possible flavours for 2-scoop ice creams (no repetition)

from itertools import combinations

flavours = ["chocolate", "vanilla", "strawberry"]
for scoops in combinations(flavours, 2):
print(scoops)

"""Output:
('chocolate', 'vanilla')
('chocolate', 'strawberry')
('vanilla', 'strawberry')
"""
```

### `combinations_with_replacement(iterable, r)`

Same as `combinations`, but values can be repeated.

E.g., what ice cream flavour combinations can I get if I allow myself to repeat flavours?

```py
# Possible flavours for 2-scoop ice creams (repetition allowed)

from itertools import combinations_with_replacement

flavours = ["chocolate", "vanilla", "strawberry"]
for scoops in combinations_with_replacement(flavours, 2):
print(scoops)

"""Output:
('chocolate', 'chocolate')
('chocolate', 'vanilla')
('chocolate', 'strawberry')
('vanilla', 'vanilla')
('vanilla', 'strawberry')
('strawberry', 'strawberry')
"""
```

### `permutations(iterable, r)`

All possible combinations of size `r` in all their possible orderings.

E.g., if I get 2 scoops, how can they be served?

This is a very important question because the flavour at the bottom is eaten last!

```py
# Order in which the

Anyone here created a full project that is live and generating revenue only with Flask HTML, without a frontend framework like React? Could you show us your project, please?


Hi everyone,

I'm curious if anyone here has successfully built and deployed a full project using only Flask and HTML templates, without relying on frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue. I'm particularly interested in seeing examples of projects that are currently live and generating revenue.

If you've done this, could you share your project with us? I'm interested in understanding your approach and any tips you might have for someone considering a similar path.

Thanks in advance!

How to think about the alpha parameter, when using Python's statsmodels.genmod.families.family.NegativeBinomial

I am using the Python statsmodels GLM function with family=sm.families.NegativeBinomial.

class statsmodels.genmod.families.family.NegativeBinomial(
link=None, 
alpha=1.0, 
check\_link=True
)

I want to learn what I should think about and how I should think when setting the alpha value.

Should I use a value for alpha that:
a. Gets the ratio Df Residuals / Pearson chi2 as close as possible to one?
b. Maximizes Log-Likelihood
c. Is a "compromise" between a and b?
d. Something else?

Thanks!

Rio: WebApps in pure Python – Technical Description

Hey everyone!

Last month we recieved a lot of encouraging feedback from you and used it to improve our framework.

First up, we've completely rewritten how components are laid out internally.This was a large undertaking and has been in the works for several weeks now - and the results are looking great! We're seeing much faster layout times, especially for larger (1000+ component) apps. This was an entirely internal change, that not only makes Rio faster, but also paves the way for custom components, something we've been wanting to add for a while.

From all the feedback the most common question we've encountered is, **"How does Rio actually work?"**

The following topics have already been detailed in our [wiki](https://github.com/rio-labs/rio/wiki) for the technical description:

* What are components?
* How does observing attributes work?
* How does Diffing, and Reconciliation work?

We are working technical descriptions for:

* How does the Client-Server Communication work?
* How does our Layouting work?

Thanks and we are looking forward to your feedback! :)

Extending Zero Trust Network Access to a Private S3 Bucket using Boto3 and OpenZiti (both Python)

* **What My Project Does:** We use Boto3 (AWS SDK for Python) and the open source OpenZiti Python SDK to enable Zero Trust Network Access to a Private S3 Bucket with no inbound firewall ports, no need for sidecars, agents, or client proxies, nor any use of AWS Private Endpoints.
* **Target Audience**: Engineers and developers who need to connect distributed systems/apps to AWS S3 (though the technology can be used for many other use cases)
* **Comparison**: The company for whom we developed it previously used an AWS VPN client to connect from their robot to AWS Private S3 Bucket across the internet. Now they do not need to use a VPN, the zero trust overlay network is embedded in their Python apps running on/next to the robot. Further, they can close all inbound FW ports on AWS and only need outbound ports at source (opposed to inbound ports on both sides), no need for public DNS, L4 loadbalancers, and more.

PuppySignal - An open source Pet's QR Tag

Hello everyone, this is a project I've been working on from a few years for my own-use with my pets, and this year I decided to share it with the community.

Project website: PuppySignal.com

What my project does

The functionality is pretty simple: when you log in, you create a profile for your pet, and a QR code will be generated and linked to its profile. When someone scans this code and decides to share its location, you will receive a notification on your phone with your pet's location, and the person who scanned it will see your contact information.

It consists of a few projects built with React (web and documentation), React Native (mobile), and Python for the backend (FastAPI and SQLAlchemy).

Target audience

Pet owners, but anyone could create codes and attach them to items, or whatever they want.

Comparison

Many QR pet tag alternatives already exist. The difference between them and PuppySignal is that you don't have to buy a QR tag and wait for it to be delivered. You can just clone it, self-host it, print the QR code, and attach it to your pet's collar.

Searchable Input/Combobox For a Form

I'm trying to build a Django application using Django templates, HTMX, Tailwind and Alpine.js.

I've hit a bit of a roadblock trying to create a foreign key selection box that acts like an autocompleting text input/combobox. I want to use this method of input in many places throughout my app as I plan to use it for searching for products, for example, when creating an invoice.

I had a look at select2, and the related django autocomplete light, but struggled to get either to behave exactly in the way I was aiming for, ie as a text input box that shows the filtered options below, instead of as combobox that needs to be selected which then has a search box at the top,

I have modified an Alpine UI combobox component to pull the information from a json returning view which filters and displays the name of objects from one of my models, and then also stores the id in a hidden field on my form. I'm a worried that this method is not very robust and could be hard to test, potentially displaying one piece of data while storing the key of another.

Is there a best practice approach to creating something like
