:thinking_face: I seem to vaguely recall something that allowed one to run datalog queries over clojure codebases

Dunno how baked it is but tools analyzer has a ast->eav walker

We have a DSL that compiles to clojure. It forms a DAG. We use datascript to represent it. The entity API makes it easy to navigate. Compiler passes are mostly: query -> find new facts -> db-with. Exemple of passes: • "For all global references in form, resolve the fully qualified name" • "Find all instances of symbol X in form, unless it's a lexical binding, and replace it by Y" • "Find all functions without a known spec, then try to resolve it" • "Hoist lexical bindings if they can be hoisted" • "Sort lexical bindings by their dependencies, in their respective scope"

> I seem to vaguely recall something that allowed one to run datalog queries over clojure codebases I think this is/was kibit

this is what I was thinking of https://github.com/Datomic/codeq

There’s also https://github.com/jpmonettas/clindex

It is currently not possible to run codeq, unfortunately (as far as I’m aware).

wat

Or perhaps stated more explicitly, one of the reasons for creation of Datomic was exactly that many people would disagree with the premise that application developers have few problems with mutable databases, because many developers have many difficulties dealing with them correctly.

Tried my fitness pal?

You can scan foods and it will tell you everything inside

Is that different from checking out the nutrition facts in the label?

mmmm good question. I believe when I used the premium version a few years ago it went pretty deep. You can download the free version, scan one thing and see if it;s what you are looking for. I know they have many lots of improvements since I used it.

I would imagine that portion size and recipe would makes it hard to provide estimates without a huge error margin? e..g if you just ate a lasagne - how big was the portion and what ratio was white sauce vs meat vs pasta. Even an AI app interpreting a photo might not be able to determine these.

https://macrofactorapp.com/ Mostly focused on macronutrients -protein/carbs/fats (the app was developed to help with training for weightlifters), but my understanding is that they have much more comprehensive and well-curated nutritional information than similar apps like MyFitnessPal. Costs $ for a subscription, though.

I'm using http://cronometer.com/ (the whole UI is a mistake, but I'm used to it) - it has good data for generic food items from a few databases, plus it's own food label database. But overall the problem is: how do you know what is in the food? Even for simple items, like vegetables, micronutrients will differ between each piece.

thanks for the suggestions! I'll take a tour across the apps :) yeah it's a tricky problem to simply delegate to an app. I might end up simply buying a food scale. I was lazy about it but on second thoughts, just doing it from time to time should suffice to give me actionable feedback.

You need a food scale for any of the apps to be useful anyway!

the way I imagined it was "I'm 62kg, I ate a normal-sized portion of <foods>. What nutrients did I get?" I reckon that yes, the percentages could easily be wildly off but you still get some useful insights e.g. "you missed micronutrient x today"

I'm happy to see NoRedInk having succesess, but is there anything explicitly about Clojure?

(and Kubernetes getting official support for user namespaces? AT ... LAST! Now I only need to find an idiot proof distro ^_^)
