8+ min ago (558+ words) Researchers reviewing video from an underwater robot found more than a thousand maintained fish nesting sites in an area that had recently become accessible after a massive iceberg broke away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf. The nests were not just scattered around, either: they formed clear geometric groupings. The study documents maintained nesting sites of the yellowfin notie (Lindbergichthys nudifrons), a small Antarctic fish, in the western Weddell Sea. In total, researchers counted 1,036 active nests across 277 nest groups, with additional nests classed as inactive and some containing larvae in or around the nest area. In simple terms, a "nest group" is just a cluster of individual nests spaced closely together. Each circular nest was about 0.75 meters (roughly 2.5 feet) across, cleared of a green-ish "carpet" of phytoplankton detritus, which is dead microscopic plant material that had settled on the seafloor....

A Terraform variable has certain types: primitive, complex, and special. We will start with primitive first. The word itself explains this type. Primitive means the basic ones, which include string, number, and bool. It can have any text value. Example: Numeric values integers as well as floats. Example: Complex types are types that allow you to group multiple values. Its a collection of unique values, also of the same type, but order does not matter. Its an ordered collection of values of different types. Its a set of string keys with values of the same type. Its a collection of attributes with different types, similar to a struct. Allows any data type Terraform will accept whatever is provided....

12+ min ago (481+ words) The air quality in the city remained in the "very poor" category on Sunday and is expected to remain in the zone throughout the week. The 24-hour average air quality index (AQI) was recorded at 308 on Sunday, as per the Central Pollution Control Board's 4pm data. It was 330 (very poor) on Saturday. Delhi's air quality has largely stayed in "very poor" range this winter, with three consecutive "severe" air days between November 11 and 13. Forecasts by the Centre's Air Quality Early Warning System (EWS) for Delhi shows the AQI should firmly stay "very poor" in the days ahead. According to categorisation by the CPCB, an AQI reading between 0-50 is "good", 51-100 "satisfactory", 101-200 "moderate", 201-300 "poor", 301-400 "very poor", and 401-500 "severe". "Delhi's air quality is likely to be in the "very poor' category from December 8 till 10. The outlook for the subsequent six days from December 11 onwards…...

Everything in this guide is based on the pattern: Mock " Execute " Validate. Controllers handle HTTP requests and return responses. Testing ensures: Rule: Controllers should be THIN " they orchestrate, not implement business logic. Controllers are tested by mocking the service, calling the action, and asserting on the ActionResult (status code + response body). Services contain business logic and depend on repositories. Mock the repository to test service logic in isolation. Next: Learn integration testing with Testcontainers in Quick Guide #2: Repository + Database Testing!...

17+ min ago (572+ words) (ABC NEWS) " Paleontologists have found tens of thousands of dinosaur tracks in South America, which offers evidence as to which species were traveling via an ancient coastline. A total of nearly 18,000 tracks " including 16,600 footprints as well as 1,378 swim tracks and several tail traces " have been located along the Carreras Pampa track site, an ancient coastline located in Torotoro National Park in central Bolivia, according to a paper published in the journal'PLOS One'on Wednesday. The ripple marks extend in a northwest-southeast direction, which probably indicate how the dinosaurs and other animals moved along the paleocoastline, according to the paper. Most of the tracks belong to theropods " a clade of dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period known for their bipedal mode of walking that includes the Tyrannosaurus rex, according to the study. Some of the preserved tracks, estimated to have been created between…...

But by 20242025, many teams switched to Biome " a fast, all-in-one Rust-powered tool that replaces both. Pairing Biome with Husky ensures that every commit meets your formatting and linting standards automatically. This guide shows the cleanest way to set up Husky + Biome in a Next.js project using npm, without lint-staged and without any legacy ESLint/Prettier config. Rust-based engine " extremely fast formatting and linting. Create a file named biome.json: This step is extremely important and completes the Husky setup. Add or update your scripts section in package.json: Biome removed --apply " --write is now the correct flag to apply fixes. This formats + lints only your staged files before committing. Try writing messy code: Biome auto-fixes it to: If the commit succeeds " everything works. If you're fully switching to…...
