New article today: How to make an optional subfactory with factory boy

@webology Thanks!

It's something that's been on the back of my mind for a few years now, but your daily blogging in February really motivated me to actually start doing it.

So really you only have yourself to blame 😁

May I suggest adding a link to the writeup from the original post?

The computer is use daily is a ~7 year old laptop with a somewhat small SSD. I'm not very good at pruning docker images, so I've been routinely low on storage space.

Well today I completely ran out. The reason? I was running the build script for a PaaS command-line tool and it consumed over 4Gb of storage space.
4Gb. For a CLI tool.

What a tech world we made 💩🔥💻

@nanorepublica looks like the link is broken fyi (returns a 404 for me)

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@nanorepublica Very interesting read, thanks.

Makes me wonder if there are many examples of this in Django's history. Migrations and JSON fields come to mind, but that's about it.

As a user, one criteria I'd have would be seamless integration once the package gets merged in to core. Ideally I could just switch the import path and be done with it.

New blog post: Styling an Django RSS Feed.

RSS is amazing! But do you know what is even better? RSS feeds that can be rendered by a browser and explain to a user the concept of #RSS.

@darekkay wrote a really nice blog post on how to do that and I adapted it for a #Django project i am working on. Even if you are not interested in Django it might be an interesting introduction and I highly recommend checking out the examples and Darek's blog post.

https://hyteck.de/post/django-rss/

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@moanos You can use handler.processingInstruction() to add the stylesheet (no need for a custom _write() method):

class FeedWithStylesheet(Rss201rev2Feed):
def add_root_elements(self, handler):
handler.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet", 'href="/static/rss.xsl" type="text/xsl"')
super().add_root_elements(handler)

https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.sax.handler.html#xml.sax.handler.ContentHandler.processingInstruction

Thanks for sharing this technique, it looks really neat!

treyhunner, (edited ) to llm
@treyhunner@mastodon.social avatar

I've recently picked up the habit of asking LLMs a variant of "Is that feature you just told me about real?" immediately after answers that seem too good to be true.

A bit more than half the time my suspicion holds.

"I apologize. I apparently confabulated again."

/cc @driscollis we were just talking about this today.

#llm #claude

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@treyhunner Have you also experienced the LLM "hallucinating" an apology where it turns out it's actually correct?

I would (maybe naively?) expect those to happen as well but I don't use LLMs enough to know.

skribe, to python
@skribe@aus.social avatar

Python folks: in random.choices, does it always return the k value of choices? ie.

names = random.choices(names_list, k=20)

It would return 20 random names from names_list (including duplicates). What if there's not enough names in names_list?

I have some code that regularly returns less. I'm trying to determine if it's a Django problem. Similar (non-Django) code doesn't have this issue, hence my confusion.

#python #Django

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@skribe according to the docs, random.choices is with replacement, which should mean you'll always get k elements, possibly with duplicates (or guaranteed duplicates if k>len(choices) )

Or if choices is empty, you'll get an exception (IndexError)

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@skribe (the random module is written in Python, so you can check how random.choices is implemented: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.12/Lib/random.py#L454).

Which Django code are you using that returns less choices?

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@skribe that is weird indeed 🤔

📣 Analysis for unused code in a Django codebase
📄 An idea I wish existed and I hope to build one day
🔗 https://softwarecrafts.co.uk/100-words/day-71

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@nanorepublica At my previous job I hacked together a script that would git grep all the url names defined in the project and warn if one wasn't being used anywhere.
It was very hacky but it did catch several unused views.

One major hurdle I found with this type of check is that there's no API for listing templates (as far as I know). That made it hard to build tools that would scan all templates in a project.

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@carlton @nanorepublica that only works for the filesystem loader though (which is what almost every one uses, I admit). There's no official api for it (one that would take into account template overloading for example)

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@carlton @nanorepublica yep, that's what I meant.

It won't be me either, I know better now 😁

I just discovered that the #Django runserver command can be optimized to run better in colder climates by using a special flag:

python manage.py runserver --ski

⛷️ 🏔️ ❄️

I wonder if there are also secret optimizations for warmer climates 🤔

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@webology It's actually the showmigrations command that has a flag to honor the many Polish contributors:

python manage.py showmigrations --pl

🙃

bmispelon,
@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@webology Meanwhile, the check command can give you a warning if your project contains too many german words:

python manage.py check --de
