Ah yes, what C needs is VTABLEs.

My kid is learning HTML so… maybe?

That’s missing the point. Engineers perform at a specific level. You don’t expect civil engineers to build the bridge. Can they do it? Sure. But that’s not the profession. Same with Structural Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Industrial Engineers, etc. They are at a higher level in the planification and execution process and will likely have signatory responsibilities on the project. If the bridge falls, the engineer does have explaining to do.

The equivalent for a software engineer would be (in the US) more at the level of architect with responsibilities higher than developers.

But engineers is not a protected term so everyone is an engineer now.

They’re regulating engineering of software and electronics.

From Engineers Canada;

In the case of software engineering, a piece of software (or a software-intensive system) can therefore be considered an engineering work if both of the following conditions are true:

• The development of the software required “the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software.”

• There is a reasonable expectation that failure or inappropriate functioning of the system would result in harm to life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare, or the natural environment.

That does seem to me well defined. If you disagree then it’s okay.

Edit: taken from this: https://engineerscanada.ca/sites/default/files/public-policy/professional-practice-software-engineering-en.pdf which also add context.

I cannot speak about electronics as my education was in software engineering.

Software development is done by developers. If you are a software engineer chances are you’re working on software infrastructure that actually apply at scales that are not “add a shopping cart to this blog”.

There are reasons you ask a civil engineer for work.

But the US is not signing the treaty.

It’s a good thing that Engineer is a protected profession and not everyone can claim it, like Lawyer or Doctor.

In the US now it’s “oh you’re an engineer? Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?”

So you agree that China is the hypocrite? Great.

People who learnt structural OOP without actually understanding typing system and their benefits really struggle with learning Rist as they try to map classes onto structs and it just doesn’t work.

Traits are not inheritance. Box is not polymorphism. Rust is not C++ with more keywords.

Yep the ASCII table just goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, …

“He’s me.” - Obi Wan Kenobi

That’s a deep misunderstanding of how that number came to be. He wasn’t paid 193 millions. He was paid something like 6 millions.

The rest is shares that he got and kept through the whole period. When you setup a company you create a number of shares that founders buy (with most kept on the side for investors). As you grow so do those shares value, and you’re also granted some as bonus/salary/et . At 10B those share are worth 190 millions. If Reddit would be worth 1 billion those shares would be 19 millions.

Basically he owns about 2% of Reddit.

Almost every IPO in history has resulted in a significant drop in value on the first weeks as early investors drop their shares on the market and hype goes down. I would be surprised if Reddit loses half of its value in the first month alone. It is much less bullish than a lot of other recent IPOs.

Honestly just ActivityPub. And being backed by the W3C id assume there already are discussions in countries where corruption is less prevalent.

Public spaces should be government owned. Each country could have its own public servers with a guaranteed spot for every citizen. People can cross post.

If you want anonymity you can have private servers too.

Data Link layer be pretty stable to be fair ^_

Alternatively, I don’t think that not educating AI is an option.

So are we not calculating the amount of training the junior dev took?
