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!
sudo rm train.sh
problem solved 👍
I’ll take the 50/50 because those are some damn good odds!
those are the best odds i’ve had in years

Joke’s on you I hate myself and my family
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
why would you wanna kill the programming language commitees.
Quickly move the switch while on track, then hope the paths willl be wide enough to stop the trolley.
Fuck the metro I guess.
Am I also in range of the nuclear bomb, or am I safe? Unclear as the image doesn’t specify if it is drawn to scale or not. Also which direction are the tracks currently pointing.
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.
C++ is obsolete now that we have Go
wat
I prefer the binary format over the text format of WASM.
I am currently in the process of completely rewriting the BSD kernel in go.
how are you handling the GC? how are you handling things like interrupts?
GOd will handle it 🙏
oh so you haven’t actually done any of it.
C++ is better suited to lower level operations than Go, C++ can have huge control over the environment (allowing it to be run on bare metal with no OS) while Go is limited due to it using a garbage collector
If there was a replacement for C++, the best bet IMO would be Zig
As someone who knows neither of the three: Why Zig over Rust as a Cpp replacement?
Rust has its own issues.
Before the memory safety craze, Rust was hyped as a functional programming language, meaning it not only has lambdas and monads, but also const by default, which will force you to rethink all your programming decisions. Also no classes, so you do even more rethinking.
I don’t just rethink my programming decision but all my life decisions every night. Seem like Rust is the perfect language for me.
As someone who just picked through the Zig docs (take this with a mountain of salt), Zig has a few things going for it:
- spec is simple and closer to C in scope
- modern language design, toolchain, and overall ergonomics
- Go-like struct & interface system
- 1st-class C interoperability
Go foists co-routines on you and the runtime, and Rust has the borrow checker. Both of these things deeply impact language design, standard libraries, and the overall developer experience. So Zig might actually be a “more modern C” in many ways which makes it a contender. That said, it’s not a 1:1 comparsion since it lacks everything else that C++ does: you’d have to re-envision your software designs as something other than OOP if that’s what you’re used to.
I like those odds
There is at least one user here in the superposition of being on two tracks at once.
Now how do I get it to drift over everything but teams a and b?
It’ll hit the bomb, so teams a and b will be blasted either way :)
I assumed that the bomb would only kill 4.5 million people but all 8 billion are acceptable too, unless the teams a and b happen to be in the blast radius which seems unlikely. To me the area was only referencing the location of the bomb not the train.
Wait, what does the middle track do?
It’s the Republican track
Same as normal but you chose the status quo rather than having it enforced upon you.
A Mark VI only has a 18 to 160 kiloton yield.
Can we replace it with a B83?
