In #NixOS the snow theme was used to illustrate that each flake is a perfect recreation, which didn't aptly describe this glorified build system.

The best analogy (even within the #NixOS community) has been the cooking analogy.

#Nix are the kitchen utensils, #Nixpkgs the recipes, #NixStore the pantry, packages ingredients, profiles are tables and derivations are dishes.

This proves that we need #marketing, because #engineers suck at naming things.

I know I'm getting old, or dare I hope to say, wise, because I can't shake the feeling that any and all demonstrable #productivity gains generated by the use of #AI could be outweighed by simply #teaching people to use and manipulate structured plain text efficiently.

Likewise, teaching new #engineers to do those basic things well instead of jumping straight to "this is how you install the latest framework".

On March 3rd, Greg Suligowski of #Merseyrail represented #Transport #UK at #UNESCO's World Engineering Day in #Paris, #France. The theme, Unleashing the Power of #Engineers to Advance the SDGs, emphasised the role of engineering in sustainable development. Discussions focused on integrating sustainability into decision-making and the need for engineers to engage with policymakers for informed, sustainable investments. Emerging technologies, such as #AI, were explored, highlighting both their benefits and challenges. Transport UK is leading the way in sustainable transport solutions, from battery-operated trains in Liverpool to hydrogen-powered trains in development. In #London, TUK bus depots now feature electric bus charging stations. The event celebrated global engineering talent and reinforced Transport UK's commitment to sustainability and the UN's SDG #11.

Do I know any #Canada #Canadian #engineers on here?

I'm trying to understand the licensing process to be a professional engineer in BC or Alberta. There's the NPPE which is....a professional practices exam? And there's work experience and such

Is there a knowledge exam like what the USA does in most (all?) states for our PE tests? Like where you do problems on thermo/fluids, AC and DC circuits, materials, etc?

I'm looking at academic positions that require professional engineer registration.
