I'm really enjoying this post by @capjamesg about fun things you can do on your personal website: https://jamesg.blog/2024/02/19/personal-website-ideas/

After many years of thinking about it, I finally created my own site 2 months ago and it's been a lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend it!

@adamchainz Aww, thanks! 😊

Wrote a cursed custom Django field, OPField, that stores the location to a 1Password item using their custom URI (op://…) and has the ability to get the secret via the op cli.

op_uri, secret = OPField.with_secret()

I blame @CodenameTim and his blog post about the RegisterField that I haven’t been able to get out of my head since he wrote it months ago.

@bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

@josh @CodenameTim in case you're interested, I think you should be able to automatically register the property on the model by defining a contribute_to_class() method on the field class. Then you wouldn't have to use the with_secret() tuple hack (which is quite clever btw)

    You're a good framework, , but sometimes, SOMETIMES, I'm almost losing it.

    @kfh not sure if you wanted a reply, or just to rant.

    In case it was option 2, feel free to ignore this message 😁

    If it was option 1, then superuser doesn't imply staff, the two are independent.

    Superuser is about the permission system : user.has_perm(...) will always be True for a superuser.

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @kfh Ah yes, that would do it 😁

    You speak Norwegian with a Polish accent. Your vowels strained like half-smiles you receive from your neighbors; your consonants rough like a Monday morning workout session at SATS. There’s no escaping from stereotypes your accent invokes.

    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @marta what a lovely and powerful article, thanks for sharing.

    It echoes a lot of my own feelings about my adoptive språk and the impossibility of being an immigrant. Even for someone whose first language enjoys quite a high status here 🇫🇷

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @marta Full agreed!

    Not to mention that the demand for integration is made very selectively. As a white western european immigrant I can't remember ever being asked (or suggested) to integrate I wonder why that is 🙃

    What are your favorite one liners?

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @treyhunner One I came up with today:

    print("".join(chr(127397 + ord(c.upper())) for c in country_code)) # where country_code is a 2-letter country code string, like FR, NO or US

    New article on my blog: a ORM technique I found for combining JSONObject and Subquery to build model instances: https://blog.bmispelon.rocks/articles/2024/2024-05-09-django-getting-a-full-model-instance-from-a-subquery.html

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @CodenameTim Yes, this technique should work well for the "latest comment in thread" scenario. That might even have been a better example to use 😅

    To be honest I was surprised how far I was able to get, I kept thinking I would hit some fundamental limitation of the ORM at some point, but I never did.

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @carlton @lilyf @CodenameTim Possibly, but then you'd lose the ability to defer missing fields.

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @carlton @lilyf @CodenameTim It's not yet on github, I'm going to do that later today.

    I mention the deferring bit at the end of the post. Basically the idea is that if the jsonobject doesn't contain all the model fields, you can still instanciate the model and the missing fields will be deferred (same as if you'd used Django's .defer()/.only()).

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @webology Fixed, thanks 👍

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @carlton @lilyf @CodenameTim It's cloneable now (instructions in README): https://github.com/bmispelon/django-model-subquery

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @josh Thanks, I've put the code on github and decided to try model-bakery for the tests 😁

    https://github.com/bmispelon/django-model-subquery

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @carlton Also I tried flit for making the package, after your recommendation from last week 😁

    It was rather pleasant as far as python packaging go

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @carlton Ah right, I guess arrays need to be homogenous don't they? It might work by casting everything to a string first, then using the same Field.to_python() trick that I use? https://github.com/bmispelon/django-model-subquery/blob/main/src/modelsubquery/functions.py#L46

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @carlton Best of luck!

    I didn't dare going deep into the psycopg depths, but I'm sure there's some cool stuff in there too.

    I'm happy to hear back if you find anything (here or via a PR on the project)

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @hvdklauw Amazing! I knew that my usage of _meta.get_fields() was a bit optimistic, thanks for getting your hands dirty and doing the legwork on relational fields. Much appreciated ✨

    (I'll take a closer look at the code in the next few days)

    I was telling my wife, in Korean, about my Spanish class...and I got two sentences in until I realized I had switched to Spanish without realizing. She doesn't know Spanish. 😅 It's funny, we had a good laugh but frustrating as hell.

    Brains are weird. 🤪

    Does this happen to you? Any tips on context switching and maintaining that switch?

    bmispelon,
    @bmispelon@mastodon.social avatar

    @Rachell Happens to me a lot when I'm tired.

    So I guess my advice is to sleep more? 🙊

    Alternatively, you could teach your wife Spanish 😁

    (sorry for the somewhat useless answers, I'm hoping someone else in the replies will have actual tips that I could also use for myself)

    📣 A cautionary tail of adding soft delete to Models

    @nanorepublica another huge annoyance for me is that this kind of soft delete modelling renders field uniqueness completely unusable
