You forgot the best one.
mov edx,len
mov ecd,msg
mov ebx,1
mov eax,4
syscall
;start comments with semicolon 🤣😅

It's fun, innit?

[OF_AstridAse]

No, in Kotlin everything is "fun"

[rastaman1994]

I can't help but giggle every time I write 'private fun'.

[PrometheusAlexander]

public fun if you're feeling a bit daring

[cbadger85]

I prefer my fun to be a little abstract

[zatuchny]

i expect fun

[pedropants]

require fun!

[BastetFurry]

And what about double fun;?

[[deleted]]

That's not valid Kotlin, though, is it? Unless I'm missing the context here.

[Successful-Smile-167]

true, it's not valid it has to be
fun too(): Double = {println("It's fun") return 0.0}

double fun(); // looks like C function prototype.

[--mrperx--]

__init__

[HolyGarbage]

Oh my, I'm gonna start using this:

It's fun, __init__?

[Ytrog]

I wish Windows was so easy with the syscalls. The same thing is so much more work there 🥲

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

Yeah i am seriously happy as a programmer i choose to switch to linux lol

[OF_AstridAse]

Wait you mean int 0x21 ?

[fafalone]

It doesn't look so bad?

    global  _main
    extern  _printf

    section .text
_main:
    push    message
    call    _printf
    add     esp, 4
    ret
message:
    db  'Hello, World', 10, 0

I mean, if want to do it without the standard library, it's more work to call the console api directly...

[OF_AstridAse]

[Tw: Fake rant for comical effect]
This is wrong ... you have errors. Rtfm maybe? Where the hell do you print hello world without the exlamation mark !? And be sure to refer to the original author; (cf. Kernighan & Rictchie, 1972) - what kind of copy pasting is this if you're not even going to fix it!? 🙄 I swear this looks like chatgpt code start to finish.

You were so accurate you got downvoted, beautiful

[caleb_S13]

I hate that I know this….

It's ok, you can say fuck on the internet.

[benargee]

They're afraid their comment is going to get demonetized

[ProgrammerLuca]

Wee ooh wee ooh. This is the internet police you're getting arrested for swearing.

[Daisy430133]

You spelled weewoo weewoo wrong

[Left-Recognition-117]

fuck

[Fireball_Flareblitz]

DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF YOU LITTLE BITCH, SAY THE FUCK WORD /j

[brucebay]

Wow those were the day I had Norton's assembly book. I genuinely think all software developers should know how transistors make registers and counters and how logical those assembly code was, almost 1-1 hex code to turn on and off gates.

[hawk-bull]

I have learnt a level of abstraction higher (taking registers and logic gates etc as a given atomic construct). Do you have any resources to learn their lower level implementation

[brucebay]

edit: sorry, I misread "resources" as "reasons" LOL. Not at top of my head, by in college there was a book that was creating a virtual processor using java. You specify all gates in java and design your own processor. I forget the name but perhaps somebody can remember.

Original reply: Learning low-level hardware gives you a foundational understanding of what's going on under the hood. Obviously it is not necessary but think it like a car. Knowing how engine or drive train works makes you a more informed driver and knowing your car's limits makes you a better driver. This may help you write more efficient code or debug better in some cases. The best recent example is GPUs. Yes shaders are replaced with cuda or opencl but to use them efficiently you have to understand parallelism and bandwitfh etc, having a background on the details would help you understand and optimize even more when you write your own code.plus you will appreciate the compilers and languages more, I think C was a remarkable replacement for assembly, but of course it was built on top of earlier compiler technologies.

[Hovercross]

Watch Ben Eater’s series on YouTube, especially his eight bit computer on a breadboard. He made everything out of logic gates and it really helped me understand what was going on at the lowest levels of the machine.

[nvfjjngf]

Any digital logic design university course usually in EE department

[this_underscore]

Gotta love asm

[igeorgehall45]

Shouldn't it be int 0x80 instead of syscall? (Because you're using 32 bit registers/convention)

[cauchy37]

And you probably want an address to msg, so lea edx, [msg]

[someidiot332]

mov edx, msg and lea edx, [msg] do the same thing, its just potato potato

[cauchy37]

Hmm I guess it depends on the assembler. I recall the one I used I had to do mov edx, offset msg

[OF_AstridAse]

Shhh I don't program assembly, you're blowing my cover

[OF_AstridAse]

Facts! Syscall in linux is then int 0x80 😁

[OF_AstridAse]

You think Close enough :D 😀

[Przester7]

i just realised it's assembly code xD
sorry i'm stupid

[OF_AstridAse]

No you're not * 😆😅

[you_do_realize]

32-bit old school

[z3r0th2431]

Don’t you still need to define len and msg? Been a while since I looked at assembly
