Yes you can. You can refer to most engineers as engineers even if they don't have a professional engineering license in Canada.

Wouldn't all events be perfectly correlated in a deterministic universe?
95.
by NOGDP 7y ago
That seems to follow from determinism... if the universe is deterministic then everything must align exactly in such a way that if you simulated the universe it would be identical every time.

I think pop songs are a depreciating asset since new ones can be pumped out rather quickly like out of a factory.

The amount of compiler and language theory needed to design a language that is also practical to use and implement is far greater than what a UI designer needs to know about web technology. If there was a language designer that wasn't

What do you mean by 'not present in the source code'? Annotation processors generate code before the whole codebase is compiled, any tool can analyse the generated lombok source code, the same as with any other code-generating ann

You learn those things the same whether you will get an engineering license in the future or not. The engineer exams don't actually test this kind of knowledge.

Getting an engineering license doesn't require much in terms of skill beyond what you'd learn in undergrad.

Even then (buildings for example), I believe some of the work can be done by non-licensed engineers. Stuff like land surveying, some electrical, CAD/modelling work, design of plumbing, heating, etc. can be done without license. I know

You can get a professional engineering license as a software engineer... a software engineer is an 'actual engineer'.

by NOGDP 7y ago
You can be an engineer without an engineering license. Safety-critical jobs usually require a professional engineering license, but there are a lot of engineering work which is not safety-critical.
