Thecideida

Thecideida is an order of cryptic articulate brachiopods characterized by their small size and habit of cementing their ventral valves to hard substrates such as shells, rocks and carbonate hardgrounds. Thecideides first appear in the Triassic (Jaecks and Carlson, 2001) and are common today (Lüter, 2005; Lüter et al., 2007).

Taxonomy

Order Thecideida

  • Superfamily Thecideoidea Gray, 1840
  • Superfamily Thecospiroidea Bittner, 1890
gollark: So it replaces the FS stuff the unprivileged code sees with its own hooks which ensure stuff is in the potatOS folder.
gollark: But PotatOS has to present an environment close to what a normal, potatOSless computer would have, for compatibility.
gollark: Lua, being cool™, actually lets you override the global environment other functions see. Which allows sandboxing very easily (minus some DoS attacks), since you just give them an environment with no I/O functions.
gollark: All the I/O stuff in CC is provided to user code via a bunch of tables of functions like `fs` in the global scope.
gollark: Specifically², function environments mostly.
