Stuff like this makes me wonder if video game HUDs might be a glimpse towards what the future of those kind of navigation panels might look like
goblinux··on Groke: A situational awareness system to make seafaring safer
Interesting seeing similar trends in industrial Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) for industrial control systems (ICS/SCADA). Is there a set of standards that maritime navigation systems follow for abnormal situation management (i.e., alarming/notifications)?

ICS is trending towards ISA101 - which is a very grayscale screen for operator control with specific colors for various alarms, events, and notifications for operators.

An interesting difference between operating ships and industrial control systems - both huge pieces of complex machinery with interconnected systems - is that humans have been operating ships without electricity, screens, and standards bodies for millennia.

goblinux··on $1.5B lithium deposit discovered in Maine; excavating it poses a legal challenge
Lithium mining isn't like gold/iron/other metal mining. It's more like salt harvesting. So trucking away loads of dirt/salt/rock/ore to a processing plant isn't viable. You have to process it on site which means huge ponds for evaporation.

Very Bad Chess by Zach Gage is the best I’ve seen of this. It’s on the iOS App Store, might be on google play. Worth a look if you like “bad chess”

goblinux··on Veloren – Open-source MMORPG written in Rust
I'm out of the loop, what is the huge fascination with Rust? I see people getting excited about normal sounding projects that are written in rust - is it the new C? new python?
