I don't know. Petrified wood isn't all that common. Why do you think it's that?

To me it looks like a finegrained, silicious, sedimentary rock. Might be slightly hydrothermally altered or metamorphosed, can't really tell from the photos.

That's not to take away from the coolness of the rock though. It absolutely is a cool rock. I absolutely adore that quartz vein.

edit1: Some more photos of this selfsame rock through a micro scope (somewhere between 10x and 45x, didn't write it down)

and another feature I discovered: the rock has a slickenside which i can't really show on a photo. basically one of the sides is beat up into sand and polished. the whole rock unit was pretty beat up, so i'm not super suprised but it's cool

edit2: ok i tried to capture the slickenside

this is the attack on stallman

seems prett damning to me

also i'm going to let devault himself rebut this

also no: stallman being under attack for credible accusations and even non-retracted public statements is not an "attack on free software" but a much needed clean up. call it a refactoring of legacy assets, if you want.

In austrian german dialect, "Mit da Ua, draht ma zua." which in standard german would be "Mit der Uhr, dreht man zu." and in english "With the clock, turn it closed." or something like that.

As an embedded firmware guy for 10ish years:

C can die in a fire. It's "simplicity" hides the emergent complexity by using it as it has nearly no compile time checks for anything and nearly no potential for sensible abstraction. It's like walking on an infinite tight rope in fog while an earth quake is happening.

For completely different reasons: The same is true for C++ but to a far lesser extent.

Recommendation for a newb (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a mechanical keyboard (well duh...) and I have the following requirements:

  • under 100€ (not a super hard requirement, but not like 300€)
  • relatively silent (so no blue switches, i'd probably prefer red or brown)
  • german keyboard layout
  • bluetooth, to use with my iPad, but also USB (USB-C, if possible)
  • as long a battery charge as possible, because I keep forgeting to plug things in
  • battery indicator of some sort, to show me when to plug in; doesn't have to be anything special, a LED telling me to fucking-plug-it-in-already(TM) is alright
  • Tenkeyless layout with separate F-Keys, arrows and home/end/up/down block
  • exchangable switches would be nice

For now I don't have any aesthetic requirements. Can somebody help a fella, who doesn't know what's good and what's not, out?
