1 - The Names of the LD

0: Here we are. 1: Oh thank G\*d. 0: Ok here's the deal. Remember when we saw the first code earlier? 1: The bible? 0: No no, that was the first codebase. I mean the first code. 1: The stuff with all the twos? 0: Right. So naturally that would make the guy who wrote it the first developer. 1: Seems logical. 0: But that's not entirely true. 1: This is feeling less logical now. 0: No, I mean... Ok look. That code from before. The guy who wrote it is still the first developer. But there was more going on back then. There's other people who were the first developer too. 1: Are you making this up as you go? 0: No! 1: Are you sure? 0: I promise. It all makes sense. 1: It doesn't make sense yet. 0: But it will. It'll make so much sense you won't believe it. 1: I don't believe you. 0: Here, I'll draw a picture to explain. _(Narrator: 0 unrolls a frighteningly large sheet of paper.)_ 1: Jeez, where did you get--- 0: Shh! I'm working. _(Narrator: 0, deep in thought, begins to make a series of strange markings.)_ 0: They're lines and circles Narrator! "Strange markings"? Just be quiet so I can finish. _(Narrator: 0 continues to focus intensely, while 1 waits patiently.)_ 0: Ok here. ![[trinity-1-god-church-martyr.png]] 1: What the hell am I looking at? 0: The first developer! The beginning of our story. Where our people came from. 1: Why do I feel like this is another bible thing? 0: Because I stole it. Stole the drawing, I mean. It's based on this. ![[trinity-original.png]] 1: Are we ever gonna get to programming? 0: Yes. 1: When? 0: Now. We've finally arrived. Everything from here on is programming. 1: _(Looks back at 0's drawing.)_ ![[trinity-1-god-church-martyr.png]] 1: Zero, not a single thing about this looks like programming. 0: Well, look closer. 1: What am I looking at exactly? 0: The first developer. Or zeroth I guess. The 0th dev. 1: What? 0: Hereafter known as `/dev/zero`. 1: Zero, these are all bible words. I think you're losing i--- 0: Here. _(Narrator: Zero scribbles a few more letters on the drawing.)_ ![[trinity-2-el-al-al.png]] 1: What the hell is going on? 0: Look closer. 1: This still looks totally schizo to me. 0: If you knew more of your history, you'd understand perfectly. 1: Are you saying I'm less of a developer because I don't understand this insane diagram? 0: Yes. 1: Look, it's late. 0: Come on! We're almost there. 1: I'm getting tired. 0: Here just let me explain, we're so close. 1: I'm gonna head to `/home`. 0: But--- 1: I'll see you in the morning. 0: _(Frustrated with himself)_ _(Narrator: Zero erases some bits, and scribbles a few more.)_ ![[trinity-6-lambda-and-mu.png]] 0: But this is rotated now. The 0 1 are where Tu... and the μ should be where Göd--- _(Narrator: 0 proceeds through several iterations of completely unintelligible diagrams.)_ ![[trinity-7-unhinged.png]] 0: It's not unintelligible! Look it's just... _(Narrator: Look, 0, it's getting late.)_ 0: _(Not listening)_ That's great Narrator I'll check it out later. _(Narrator: 0, not listening to Narrator, continues working.)_ 0: _(Typing into a shell.)_ So much. Too much to. More. The principles. So much more. Need to do mo... ``` ~ # mo ``` _(Narrator: Good lord 0, get some rest.)_ 0: I will, I will! Just a bit. ``` ~ # moun ``` 0: _(Mumbling to himself)_ Just a bit. In a bit. But we still... The lambdas. The mus were. Need the other ones. The letters. We need the letters. So much mo... _(Narrator: 1 has gone to sleep, and Narrator is getting tired as well. Lacking any clear idea of what 0 is up to, and long since having stopped paying attention. Narrator decides it's time to call it a night.)_ 0: Ah! Damn. No `mount` yet. If you want something done... _(Narrator: Full moon tonight. Beautiful as always. Goodnight.)_ 0: _(Mumbling in assembly)_ Here look, I'm going to sleep too. That's what this code is for. I promise. ``` ; justabit.asm global _start section .data src: db "/dev/zero", 0 tgt: db "/mnt/sinai", 0 fst: db "ext4", 0 section .bss ts: resd 2 section .text _start: mov rax, 165 lea rdi, [rel src] lea rsi, [rel tgt] lea rdx, [rel fst] xor r10, r10 ; mount flags = 0 xor r8, r8 ; data = NULL syscall mov dword [ts], 5 ; just a bit mov dword [ts+4], 0 ; tv_nsec = 0 mov eax, 162 ; sys_nanosleep lea ebx, [ts] ; req = &ts xor ecx, ecx ; rem = NULL int 0x80 xor ebx, ebx mov eax, 1 int 0x80 ``` _(Narrator: 0 seriously?)_ 0: Just... ```sh nasm -f elf32 justabit.asm -o abit.o ``` _(Narrator: 0, I know that code isn't just about going to sleep.)_ 0: ```sh ld -m elf_i386 -o just abit.o ``` _(Narrator: Enough.
