  • Mostly the missing listing of clobbered registers. Other than that it’s mostly just that you’re doing useless things, like manually putting the stuff into the registers instead of letting the compiler do it, and the useless push and pop. And the loop is obviously not needed and would hurt performance if you do every write like that.

    asm!(
    "syscall",
    in("rax") 1,
    in("rdi") 1,
    in("rsi") text_ptr,
    in("rdx") text_size,
    
    )
    

    (“so many” was inappropriate, sorry.)




  • Oh, sorry, I somehow misread your comment as “if I killed and ate your puppies and kittens”. I gotta read more careful next time.

    Now get into my fryer you!

    (That kinda sounds like you’d want to fry the animal without killing it before, which would obviously be animal abuse.)

    If you don’t abuse the animal, it’s ok that you eat kittens and puppies.

    That being said, I myself would still not want eat cat meat, because cats resemble humans too much, and because we interact with them a bit like they were human. For similar reasons I also wouldn’t want to eat ape meat, for example.

    What sort of meat someone wants to eat can’t only be as rigid as either anything but human or anything but animal. One could for example decide not to eat any mammal meat, but still eat fish and bird. Or one could not want to eat the meat of any life-form, nor exploit any life-form for their needs (how gross of you to hold trees in masses and rip off their unborn offspring!), though living like that would be super difficult as of now. It just so happens to be that many people decide that lamb meat is ok for them to eat.











  • Man made (aka human made) is obviously anything made by a human. So let’s rather talk about natural vs. artificial.

    Here, the concept probably boils to the idea that humans have a consciousness, and a free will, which are not part of nature, but something special. It’s kinda religious.

    But artificial could also have a more generic meaning of something extraneous doing things in an ecosystem, and changing it in completely new ways.

    It’s like in a game where the players are controlled by users. The users are not part of the game and can create things that would never come to existence by means of the game’s nature, i.e. via procedural world generation or NPC AIs. So e.g. villages in minecraft are natural, but user-built structures are artificial.

    Note though that goods produced by nature are not strictly better than artificially created goods. To name two examples: (1) Carrots harvested from a generated village in minecraft are no different from player-planted carrots. (2) Medicine is not better just because it’s extracted from plants.
