Option 3 means that the Javascript standards team dies either way, right? Number 3. No hesitation.
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?
Push him onto the pressure pad. Make it his fault.
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.
Yeah, didn’t know there was a standard committee and can’t believe how inept they are.
They’ve done amazing work trying to turn the clusterfuck they started with into a good language
That “trying” is doing the heavy lifting in that sentence.
What are some of the outstanding issues that haven’t been addressed? I feel like there are genuinely good ways of doing everything these days
Javascript
Bottom tracks, easy

“You and your entire family” means “All life on Earth”.
That should make the decision somewhat easier.
By my definition, family is who you treat like family.
If you make it “all human live” it starts to look quite attractive again
I thought seaweed didn’t have a common ancestor
there might be an argument that JavaScript kills more than a nuclear bomb

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.
Wait, which one leaves you unemployed?
The lack of standards path of course.
Unless you work for the committee or for ISO somehow, then I don’t think that really follows. C++ and JavaScript were both used in production for decades before they had standards, and the dissolution of the standards committee wouldn’t cause compiler vendors to stop developing compilers.
Ok.
Fair.
I’d take my odds with the bottom track.
Which metropolitan area?
Assuming it is in the US, at 4.5 million it can only be San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley.
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?
At that distance it also kills you, so it sounds like a good deal. No regrets.
win win win
Well, you can take yourself out of the equation because you’re not tied down and can just move after flipping the switch.

“C’mon…c’mon!”

A Mark VI only has a 18 to 160 kiloton yield.
Can we replace it with a B83?
I’ve played enough X-COM to know that 50/50 is actually 100%, I just don’t know which way. Better trigger it!!
30%? Let me deliver that shot with crit across the map to your teammate hunkered down behind full cover for you!
I’ll take the 50/50 because those are some damn good odds!
those are the best odds i’ve had in years

Are we in the blast zone of the nuke?
Maybe we could use Javascript to direct a simple robot to set the lever while we remain at a safe distance?
Maybe the real solution to this diagram is to nuke it from orbit.
But the robot has to run windows vista
And have a valid Apple developer account?
