It's done! 🎉 Winamp2-js (https://t.co/BtfXzKsJYH) finally supports all three windows!

To celebrate, here's a list of some of the cool things it can do: (thread)

Load any classic Winamp skin just by dragging it onto the main window. (Shoutout to @stuk for JSZip which lets us decompress .wsz files in the browser. https://t.co/k9gKnA6G1B)
Drag local audio files into the playlist to queue them up.
Visualize your music with the bar or line visualizer.
Adjust the fully functional EQ to pump up the bass.
(Shoutout to @epistemex for cardinal-spline-js https://t.co/NIXjit7zY4)
Import/export Winamp's own binary EQ settings files.
Export your playlist as an .html file.
Save screen real estate with each window's "shade" mode.
See each file's title/artist as specified in its ID3 tags.
(Shoutout to @aadsm for jsmediatags https://t.co/HVPFMScACF)
If a skin specifies some transparent regions in its region.txt, they are respected. (Shoutout to @SaraSoueidan for https://t.co/8VRPVbtwE6)
Drag windows around, and easily align them with window snapping.
Use hotkeys to control all major functions.
Select/drag tracks to reorder them.
"Double" mode (ctrl+d) makes the main and EQ windows twice as big.
Getting all of this to work entirely in the browser has been a great challenge, and I've learned a lot.
Thanks to @The_DoctorO for being an invaluable source of insider information.
Thanks to @LuigiHann for catching many small places where I hand't perfectly recreated Winamp's handling of skins.
Thanks to @ja2ke for the original retweet which I believe kicked this whole thing off more than three years ago.
And of course, thanks to @JustinFrankel. 🙇‍♂️

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
