Option 3 means that the Javascript standards team dies either way, right? Number 3. No hesitation.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 67 points 1 month ago (18 children)

the c++ team is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. can we just shoot Brendan Eich in the head if he's not in there too?

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

Push him onto the pressure pad. Make it his fault.

[–] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I feel like all C++ does these days is badly and very slowly copy other languages. It wouldn't be a huge loss.

Javascript Standards Team is such an Oxymoron.

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, didn't know there was a standard committee and can't believe how inept they are.

“You and your entire family” means “All life on Earth”.

That should make the decision somewhat easier.

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

If you make it "all human live" it starts to look quite attractive again

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By my definition, family is who you treat like family.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I try to treat everyone I meet like family

there might be an argument that JavaScript kills more than a nuclear bomb

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ok so this one just isn't fair.

Two possibilities end up with me dead, two end up with millions dead, and one ends up with me being unemployed.

Sorry not sorry Team A and B, sacrifices must be made.

[–] BatmanAoD@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait, which one leaves you unemployed?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The lack of standards path of course.

I'd take my odds with the bottom track.

I've played enough X-COM to know that 50/50 is actually 100%, I just don't know which way. Better trigger it!!

[–] darkbaron202@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

30%? Let me deliver that shot with crit across the map to your teammate hunkered down behind full cover for you!

Assuming it is in the US, at 4.5 million it can only be San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley.

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

would the bomb also kill javascript and C++ or would I have to keep throwing trolleys at it until I get both silicon valley and the JS/C++ devs?

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At that distance it also kills you, so it sounds like a good deal. No regrets.

[–] underisk@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

win win win

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, you can take yourself out of the equation because you're not tied down and can just move after flipping the switch.

chooses bottom track

"C'mon...c'mon!"

trolley heads towards committe members

"Dammit!"

runs over and jumps on the nuclear bomb pressure pad

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 19 points 1 month ago

A Mark VI only has a 18 to 160 kiloton yield.

Can we replace it with a B83?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll take the 50/50 because those are some damn good odds!

Joke's on you I hate myself and my family

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Am I in the Metropolitan area?

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You are on track A and the bomb is within sight. If you get the shit end of the 50/50, everyone in the diagram would be vaporized instantly

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So you're saying there's a 100% chance the comitees get vaporized by choosing the bottom track.

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, no.

In scenario A they are instantly vaporized. In scenario B they are brutally sliced into multiple pieces and crushed to death, rather painfully depending on the speed of the trolley.

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

You need to study up on your trolleys. That's clearly a Vaporizer Trolleynator 3000.

sudo rm train.sh

problem solved 👍

[–] Iceman@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

There is at least one user here in the superposition of being on two tracks at once.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Now how do I get it to drift over everything but teams a and b?

Fuck the metro I guess.

[–] Nublets@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Middle track. Then I have plenty of time to hotwire the nuke with my handy dandy mallet

[–] zzx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I like those odds
