No, an engineer is the guy who drives the train.

Etymology of "Engineer"
Latin Root (ingenium): Derived from the Latin word ingenium,
meaning innate quality, natural talent, or clever invention (literally
"that which is inborn").
Old French (engigneor): Evolved into Old French as engigneor or
engignier, originally denoting a builder of military siege engines (like
catapults and trebuchets) as well as a schemer or trickster.
Middle English (enginour): Appeared in the mid-14th century as
enginour, meaning a constructor of military engines.
Semantic Broadening: By the 15th century, it shifted to mean a
general designer or inventor. By the 17th–19th centuries during the
Industrial Revolution, it expanded from military machinery to civil
public works (bridges, roads, canals) and mechanical systems
Nowhere is it the guy who drives a train. Except in third world nations
who cant spik Inglish ;-)
Only in some strange lexical world is it someone who uses 'applied
science' to do anything.
Since engineers predate scientists

This. And also a person who is controlling a bunch of the flight systems
in some aircraft models, like the right side of this photo:

The original meaning of “engine” referred to any kind of device or
contraption. The slide rule itself was a calculation engine.
If it helps, the word has the same root as “ingenuity”.

And the V8 engine... I read a couple of days ago that Dahl, the creator
of Node.js, has moved on to a new scheme based on the Cloudflare model.
https://thenewstack.io/cloudflare-acquires-deno-ryan-dahl/
He said his attempt to fix node with deno failed because of the industry
demand that it be compatible with node. Sometimes you can get away with
breaking changes, sometimes not.
bun was another attempt but Anthropic bought it and appears to be making
it a dispenser of Claude AI slop. Think I'll stick with Node and Express.

Yes to all that. It was originally the art of making mechanisms.
Primarily for war.
US corrupted it to mean 'driver' or 'machine controller'
Europe corrupted it to mean 'man with a technical degree' - especially a
second class SCIENTIST.
In the UK it's always been a man who makes stuff that hasn't been made
before. Otherwise its a technician or a mechanic

They finally built a machine that wouldn't fit into the elevator. Like many old mills, there was a door that opened to the outside. One weekend the managers rigged a boom and tried to lower the machine with a hoist. The boom failed. Come Monday the grunts got to repair the damage. Moral: don't let the director of engineering, an EE, do CE calculations.

LOL Fist engine I lifted out we used a 5 ton block and tackle designed for yacht use. Whole car was less than 2 tons Engine got stuck but we kept on heaving. Now that block may have nee able to withstand 5 tons, but it was bent to buggery just with under two. Floor beams are not specified for the load they can carry without breaking, they are specified for the load they can carry without the floor looking like a saucer. Aircraft wings are specified for the load they can stand without buckling, They bend all over the shop in flight -- "What do you think about Gay Marriage?" "I don't." "Don't what?" "Think about Gay Marriage."

Maybe three levels, each one very tall (allowing to have cables under a false floor and also above the tall racks). Each level had a huge door to the outside, with iron beams above to attach pulleys. And two removable rails. I never saw one of those working. Now they are almost empty, using VoIP machinery that I have not seen. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

Java got popular, and Microsoft didn't have control over it. Microsoft feared that if Java got big enough they could bend them over. So Microsoft created their own implementation of Java, Sun sued so they created C#. --

So Microsoft created their own implementation of Java, Sun > sued so they created C#. Visual J++ was superior when it came to coding in the Microsoft ecosystem. As you say, Sun sued so the short lived J# was created, followed by C#. C# is an improvement on Java, which is slow and bloated. It's telling that back in the day IBM's skunkworks created the jikes Java compiler which was much faster than javac.

So Microsoft created their own implementation > of Java, Sun sued so they created C#. Here’s another fun thing. Microsoft has been offering Python API access to Excel users -- and it wants to charge extra for that. Guess it figures the users are too dumb to figure out they can bypass Microsoft, and Excel, and make use of Python for free. You think they could get away with doing that with C♯? Somehow I don’t think so ...

Unfortunately, in this case they succeeded. C# is the dominant choice for most corporate computing projects and consequently it has sucked in hordes of C# code monkeys that are falsely labeled as "programmers." But this thread is about Decimal Floating Point (DFP). DFP is the preferred format for all calculations. However, only IBM Power processors contain the hardware to implement DFP. All other systems must use software DFP routines. GNU/Linux needs DFP libraries but, as indicated, these are no longer being maintained. Most "programmers" will only respond with blank stares and gaping mouths.

There is NO really good reason for C++ Yea, yea, it's "object" - but in C you don't REALLY need that.

I use this sometimes with straight 'C' to modularise stuff. Of course you don't get the syntax or the operator overloading, but I regard that as a bonus -- Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx
