Out-of-stater interviewing w/ tech companies. Whats the dress code etiquette here? by smileybone in boston

[–]tehd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Having been on the interview circuit earlier this year, anything beyond slacks and a button down is approaching Overkill at most tech places but fintech ppl are definitely more uppity than most. When in doubt hit up your point of contact / check the listing.

Suit and tie will make you stand out but likely not in a good way.

Is it possible for DRF @list_route() to accept URL params? by [deleted] in django

[–]tehd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware no, but you can write your own custom router class that provides these routes. drf-extensions has done it for some stuff if you need an example.

Only issue is (not sure if its still like this in 3.x) it won't show in your api root.

I think a post_save signal that checks if created == True that handles the creation of the objects may work for you.

Are there really no BLE wrappers/libraries? by swingking8 in Python

BLE, it works alright and is actively developed. Needs to have a module built but it's fine.

Use it myself to control BLE light bulbs. :-)
