It's a me, Mauro

I've been using the #fish #shell exclusively for about 10 days now, and I really like it!

My favorite feature is probably the abbreviations, which are aliases that auto-expand when you type them, pretty useful to add the extra args you need to a repetitive command!

Also, my zsh config is custom-made and quite snappy, but fish is def snappier out of the box!
And I don't have to wrestle with things like the order of the plugins sourced to make them work (and they don't always work).

Measuring Mucus by Dragging Dead Fish

A fish‘s mucus layer is critical; it protects from pathogens, reduces drag in the water, and, in some cases, protects against predators. But little is known about how mucus could affect terrestrial locomotion in species like the northern snakehead, which can breathe out of the water and move across land. So researchers explored the snakehead’s mucus layer by measuring the force required to drag them (and two other non-terrestrial species) across different surfaces.

The team tested the same, freshly euthanized fish twice: once with its mucus layer intact and again once the mucus was washed off. Unsurprisingly, the fish’s friction was much lower with its mucus. But they also found that the snakehead was slipperier than either the scaled carp or the scale-free catfish. The biologists suggest that the snakehead could have evolved a slipperier mucus to help it move more easily on land, thereby extending the distance it can cover.

As a fluid dynamicist, I think fish mucus sounds like a great new playground for the rheologists among us. (Image and research credit: F. Lopez-Chilel and N. Bressman; via PopSci)

Yes you have seen it correctly, I'm now including __links__ the sh & console based browser, in my workflow, since it uses few resources, doesn't understand many of the modern languages, which results in pleasure and fun on the internet. You can even use links on a serial console like my Wyse terminal!

The places which are properly coded, do not need even JavaScript are where I frequently get my information from

The image shows a computer screen displaying a DuckDuckGo search page for "joe sample." in links, the sh console based browser The page is in a dark theme, with the DuckDuckGo logo at the top. The search bar is filled with "joe sample," and the search button is visible. Below the search bar, there is a "Zero-click info" section that provides a brief summary of Joe Sample, an American jazz keyboardist and composer. The summary mentions his role as a founding member of The Jazz Crusaders in 1960, the group's name change to "The Crusaders" in 1971, and his involvement in the group until its final album in 1991 and a 2003 reunion album called "Rural Renewal."

Fish, Fish, Fish...

'The jamming avoidance response is a behavior of some species of weakly electric fish. It occurs when two electric fish with wave discharges meet – if their discharge frequencies are very similar, each fish shifts its discharge frequency to increase the difference between the two. By doing this, both fish prevent jamming of their sense of electroreception.'
