I thought more of local politicians for example being threatened by right winged people with phrases like “we will hunt you” and similar, who then also form mobs in front of the victim’s private home.

And also if some random internet weirdo watches your steps for years, trying to dox you, and uses any private info they find to defame you.

As long as they don’t have personal information about you, it’s not that threatening. But otherwise it can be very harassing, and the topic shouldn’t be talked down.

Yes, I’ll name my child parent. This will reverse the tree, vertically.

Processors might no longer get twice as fast every few years, but now we can use the power of servers to write software that runs even slower.

Likely. Morticians ads that wish people to die are common in germany. We find this funny.

I once heard in some history tv show that it’s called “dark ages” not because of the bad living conditions, but because we know so few things about it, compared to other history periods.

Just use str::as_ptr().

Here’s an example (disclaimer: I haven’t used inline asm in rust before, expect issues): https://godbolt.org/z/sczYGe96f

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.)

Definitely left. Right one won’t be optimized. (And there are so many some mistakes in your inline asm…)

No way, you met json irl?

You’re right, but other web browsers suck more.

Well, my pc has its fans, so technically you’re right.

Your arguments don’t work in heated, low-insect-rate buildings.

Do you have more, or do you give in?

Sounds way too deep for a 14 year old.

There are chips that make cats smart enough to operate doors and robots? That’s so cool!

The first panel is popular media, not computer scientists.

The computer scientist would write papers about how they adapted principles of the alien technology to our stuff.

It’s just drugs, isn’t it?

Also interesting: What would you choose here if you were an evil psychopath? (Asking for an acquaintance.)

There’s a description field, could people please start putting a link to the original xkcd, i.e. https://xkcd.com/979/ in this case? It’s not that hard.

Without attribution you’re just doing copyright infringement (see also https://xkcd.com/license.html). And you’re hiding useful and nice information like the title text, the title, an the xkcd number, which you can use to get a transcription and an explanation on explainxkcd.
