Django Developer Job at Spotter

Hi everyone! I recently applied for a Django Developer position at Spotte (Spotter Labs). After passing an initial screening, I was told to complete a coding assessment with the promise of a $100 USD reward upon successful completion.

Has anyone else done this task and actually moved forward in the process? Did you get paid and proceed to the next stage, or do you think this might be a scam? I know some might say "why not try," but I’m really stressed with my current work and don’t have the time to invest in this. If I end up spending time on it and nothing comes of it, that would be pretty disappointing.

Django APIs combined with iOS learning resources.

I've been learning Django and started building an iOS app as a first project. I followed a few iOS tutorials and used ChatGPT to get help whenever i get stuck. I struggle to fully grasp the communication and sending data between iOS and Django. I was just wondering if anyone know any good courses or resources for learning more about the Django REST API and building iOS apps that interact with Django and a database.

I created a linter for your dependencies (requirements.txt file!)

Hey there. I've been working on a dependencies-related product for the last year. A lot of engineering teams that I've seen are building their own internal tooling to check on dependencies.

In short, people either update too frequently or don't update at all.

So, I decided to create a simple linter that checks all the main issues and best practices, comes with sensible defaults, and allows you to adjust it to your needs.

It supports npm/yarn, Go, pip, and Cargo. Any feedback is welcome!

Link: https://github.com/DepsHubHQ/depshub


What My Project Does
Checks your requirements.txt file on 20+ rules.

Target Audience
Mostly developers running it locally or on the CI. Still in beta.

Comparison
There are no popular linters for dependencies at all. The most popular tool to deal with dependencies is dependabot but it works in a completely different way.

Calling all drf repo owners - I'll do your work for you for free

Ok, slightly click-bait-ey title, but hear me out.


I'm a senior dev with over a decade of django experience, and nearly 2 decades working in AI. I have created a django specific AI to work as a mid level developer and I'd like to get some feedback on it's performance 'in the wild'.

The easiest way to do this at the moment is for me to manage it and to let it have a branch of it's own (so it's easy for you to optionally ignore anything it does). I use OpenAI and I'll cover all the costs. I'm happy to be effectively interviewed, share details of past projects (privately) etc., whatever processes you need to go through to validate this being worthwhile.

The repo can be open source or private, it can work with django, but it's not great at UI design, thus DRF, but I'm willing to try it on a django repo if there is appetite.

I use this in my current job, I'm head of department and thus able to make the call myself. I've also allowed friends to use it with their work and in general it's a positive experience - fire the request off, grab a drink and

Can you suggest correct model to make for given problem?

I am assigned with a task of adding a reward/penalty type function to our work site. its a point based system.

here is what the system already has.

Employees: Users

Tasks: employees/managers create and assign task, task detail, task deadline etc., you can mark task complete, amend deadline(if self assigned), update status (ongoing, pending, completed, on hold)



points function: points added if task marked complete before deadline, points removed if missed deadline. A manager can override points like negate penalty if there is a valid reason. managers can manually add or deduct points for other things like positive for finding bugs and negative for AWOL or submitting buggy code repeatedly etc. Task based points are calculated automatically while other types are assigned manually. Managers can override points awarded automatically given valid reason. eg: If -3 points are added for missing a deadline but the employee missed it due to being hospitalised then manager would just add/award +3 points to cancel it out. So all manually given points are called manual_adjustment_points.



so I am trying to make a model as the first step. But I keep feeling I am missing something. My current model is as following.



Model: Rewards:

Separate package

apps = ['silk']
if settings.DEBUG and all(app in settings.INSTALLED_APPS for app in apps):
urlpatterns += [
path('silk/', include('silk.urls', namespace='silk')),
]

It worked fine, but is this the correct approach?

[Dataset][R] 19,762 Garbage Images for Building AI Recycling Solutions

Hi ML community!

I’m excited to share the **Garbage Classification V2 Dataset**, featuring **19,762 high-quality images** of garbage categorized into **10 distinct classes** (e.g., metal, plastic, clothes, and paper).

# Why this matters:

* Train AI models for **automated waste sorting and recycling**.
* Develop **waste segregation apps** or sustainability-focused tools.
* Create innovative **computer vision projects** for environmental impact.

🔗 **Dataset Link:** [Garbage Classification V2](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/sumn2u/garbage-classification-v2/)

This dataset has been used in the research paper, *"Managing Household Waste Through Transfer Learning,"* proving its utility in real-world applications.

Looking forward to seeing how you can use it to promote sustainability!

Are there any actual use cases of Python in Excel?

I’m trying to understand how useful it really is/ having not really touched it at all, I imagine someone versed in Python could optimize some of their workflow were they forced to work in excel. But given the fundamental processing limitations of excel I can’t imagine how scalable this is. Has anyone had practical experience using the Python - excel plugin to accomplish things easier than you could in either excel or Python alone and if so, what?

Long time listener, first time caller

I have been using Django for the last few years and always wanted to check flask out.

2 days ago i started playing around with it.... I love it.

Compared to Django development has been so fast and way more flexible (which can be good and bad)

I have built a basic app with user auth and org level and test deployed using mongodb, gunicorn, docker on google cloud run all within a day basically

Great job devs 👍

Sorry for the useless post but thought id share my experience

PyGAD 3.4.0 Released: Python library for optimization using the genetic algorithm.

PyGAD is a Python library for solving general-purpose optimization problems using the genetic algorithm.

GitHub repository: https://github.com/ahmedfgad/GeneticAlgorithmPython

Documentation: https://pygad.readthedocs.io

Quick release notes:

1. The delay_after_gen parameter is removed from the `pygad.GA` class constructor.
2. The plot_pareto_front_curve() method added to the pygad.visualize.plot.Plot class to visualize the Pareto front for multi-objective problems.
3. Created a new method called unique_float_gene_from_range() inside the pygad.helper.unique.Unique class to find a unique floating-point number from a range.
4. The Matplotlib library is only imported when a method inside the pygad/visualize/plot.py script is used.
5. While making prediction using the pygad.torchga.predict() function, no gradients are calculated.
6. The gene_type parameter of the pygad.helper.unique.Unique.unique_int_gene_from_range() method accepts the type of the current gene only instead of the full gene_type list.
7. More bug fixes.

Docker + uv - virtual environments

# Why?

uv uses an existing virtual environment(.venv) or creates one if it doesn't exist. But, using a Python virtual environment inside a Docker container is generally unnecessary and can even be counterproductive. As a container itself provides an isolated environment and does not need further isolation using virtual environments. When you create a Docker image, it includes its own filesystem, libraries, and dependencies. Using a virtual environment in container adds unneeded steps and unnecessary complexity. You'd need to create and activate the virtual environment during container startup. We can avoid this.

# How?

we can use uv for package installation in Docker without a virtual environment using "--system" flag

uv pip install --system <package>

uv pip install --system -r requirements.txt

NOTE: "uv run" and **"uv add"**NOTE: "uv run" and "uv add" commands will create virtual environment(.venv), if it doesn't exist. So, you will not be using those command inside the container. But, use them with in your local development virtual environment.

RUN uv add gunicorn
CMD "uv", "run", "app.py"

Instead use only "uv pip install --system" and simple "python" commands

RUN uv pip
