Earlier quoted context omitted.

if you cooked a meal with a ton of butter or oil, it would not be able to detect the quantity. it could possibly undercount by hundreds of calories, making it useless. if you're not serious about the counting then it could be fine

that's what I mentioned above, read again

Not to be pedantic. But being able to be 100s of calories off per meal is not 80-90% there.

I'd be surprised if it came close to the accurate amount of calories even 50% of the time. If by there you are talking about accuracy.

How would it know how many calories my curry has from a photo? It cannot. It could be full of oil or have none.

How can it know how big the bowl of food is? It cannot.

It cannot know the actual fiber content of any baked good just by looking at it.

The promotional photo gives 7/10 nutritional score of pancakes with syrup? Why? because it has a couple of blueberries sprinkled on top? I'm sorry, but this does not seem like a useful app.

The promotional text on their site says: "It is consistently 90% accurate when predicting nutritional value of food" They might as well say 100%. They get to cherry pick the food they photo. It would be impossible to be 90% accurate if they actually included similar looking foods with different fat contents. Mash potatoes made with butter, without butter. Mash potatoes in a big bowl vs small bowl.

The site just reeks scam.

I'm learning C through making games with Raylib. It is just the beginning and my first game is super simple: two cowboys dueling, whoever shots first after a signal, wins a round, whoever is left with lifes after 3 rounds wins a duel. I want to add "dare mode" where players can set amount of lives and an objective or prize.

I realize it is a topic done over and over but it is 100% for my learning. I have generated some graphics locally using Flux model, will play around with sounds and music generation and spice it up in Ableton, but now I'm stumbling on the basics and I learn a lot through solving problems.

Far-reaching goal would be to release it somehow, somewhere - I don't expect to earn even a dollar on it, just for fun and even more exp.

* runtime-statics i.e. DevOps-view.. like what runs on which machine - maybe derived from container-descriptions? also bi-directional

Lots of good ideas in your comments, thanks. Like you say, you want call-graphs, hot-spots from your monitoring systems, seeing user interaction diagrams, links to other components, amount of engineering time spent on features, mapping security issues, tech debt, etc. The challenge is going to be to keep a simple product :)

These are not meant to distract you from current goals/ways - pick those which ~80% match what you already have, postpone/abandon the others. Like, devOps view is very different from all else, with somewhat weak links across to the product-related or build-related views (heh, new view: costs-related. Be them people-hours or compute/storage). No need to compete with focused tools in that space, (e.g. see [0]). Though some linkage/hints might be doable and valuable. (also see some github-repo visualizers below.)

3+ years ago i landed as architect onto a working system having 300Kloc js codebase across 20+ repos, plus other ~100 unused ones with unknown Mlocs in them, running over 25+ containers in 2 datacenters.. without neither good architectural diagram nor deployment diagram nor runtime flow diagram... took me quite some months to build some mental image of which is what and where and why. It was event-sourcing engine so event-flows mapping from parsing the source was doable (few weeks, python+esprima+graphviz), but all else... nope.

Anyway, do ping me if you feel like it, any time.

I'm working on software for filmmakers, directors, producers, etc. which drastically saves time on pre-production.

We tested our competitors apps and make our own blend of tools that actually ease the process. Effortless script breakdowns, moodboards, scene-specific venue suggestions, storyboard from script generation (here we consider us the best), nice pitch deck generation and projects sharing.

The market is still a bit conservative about using AI, but we are looking for testers and enjoyers: https://blooper.ai/.

There's a free trial period for people who don't like to f a lot on pre-production (especially during conversation with stakeholders).

Price is also mild for industry, 49$ for up to 5 projects and 199$ for big guys who need process optimization on scale. So...that's it.

I'm making a violin. I've been a programmer for just over 25 years, and recently decided I wanted to leave the profession. So I'm planning on attending the Violin Making School of America in the fall, and my project before then is to build a violin myself. There are some good in-depth video tutorials, as well as some famous books on the subject, and I'm planning to pair up with an amateur luthier in my town. The tone…

Which tutorials and books?

I have this book. It's fantastic

I started a new project: https://lifeweeks.app/ It's a way to create a visualization of your life in weeks, based on Gina Trapani's version that I saw here last week. Would love feedback if anyone has any!

Super cool. I have something similar in my browser tab for years now when I open a new one

Maintaining current Shopify app and building another. Why not just grow the first one? It has plateaued and I can’t seem to figure out why.

Competition?

Almost certainly. I should have rephrased it as "I'm not sure how to grow it from here".

If they’re behind me, they’re risking their own liability. Otherwise (changing lanes, left turn across traffic), I think it’s more “not ahead of ME!” than about the signal itself.

If two cars travelling the same direction contact each other such that the front axle of one car bumps the rear axle of the other (the car in front), it's usually the car in front that has the safety problem. This is the same principle behind the PIT maneuver.

If there's a rear end collision severe enough that the axles are contacting each other, both parties have a safety problem.
