9 Best Free and Open Source Linux Astrology Software - LinuxLinks
Astrology is a set of traditions, beliefs and systems which hold that there is a connection between the movement of heavenly bodies and events that take place on Earth such as human affairs, and personality. Astrologists use the position of the planets to try to predict future events, and to inform the psychological understanding of an individual’s psyche.
Up until the 17th century astrology and astronomy were inextricably intertwined. However, it’s important to recognize that astronomy and astrology are two very different disciplines. Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects and is widely respected in the scientific community, whereas astrology is based on universal, timeless symbolism, it is often regarded as a pseudo-science, and thought of as an art.

eastwood - Clojure lint tool - LinuxLinks
This approach is not free of tradeoffs. The use case where it shines is in CI environments, where a matrix of JDKs and/or Clojure versions can be leveraged, and where linter performance is not as critical as in editors or CLIs.
Eastwood’s main area of focus is spotting bugs (as opposed to, say, helping following coding conventions). Other tools can complement or partly overlap with Eastwood’s offering.

textclean - collection of tools to clean and normalize text - LinuxLinks
Tools are geared at checking for substrings that are not optimal for analysis and replacing or removing them (normalizing) with more analysis friendly substrings or extracting them into new variables. For example, emoticons are often used in text but not always easily handled by analysis algorithms. The replace_emoticon() function replaces emoticons with word equivalents.
