Are the people who designed this UI idiots? If no, then that contradicts your argument. Non-designers obviously do get it wrong. If yes, your argument has become a "no true scotsman" -- it no longer makes a statement about the c

It seems to me that an unspoken assumption in this thread is that "design" is purely theoretical work, performed by a designer. If the behavior of a sleep-deprived sailor is an unknown variable, then the obvious solution is to get

Finding something or someone to blame -- whether it is an operator, the UI, training, whatever -- typically halts all insight-gaining processes, and is therefore not recommended. Especially if that something is "100% to blame".

It is not only the ship's UI that lacks review in the post-mortem analysis, but also the process that lead to it. "Conspicuously absent from their recommendations was any discussion about user interface design." _Why_ did the

There were at least two other techniques back then. The first is to write to another buffer (possibly in normal RAM, not video RAM), then when the frame is done copy the whole buffer at once, so every pixel gets changed only once. The secon

This makes me wonder why shells don't support a simple "undo". Though I think there will be a UI conflict between "undo autocomplete" / "undo paste" / other stuff that edits the current command l

They are deviating from that already, aren't they? If they use one ECU per zone, then the peripherals in that zone can't be connected via CAN bus, otherwise they would need their own controller.

I think you'd want at least some "dumb" logic moved to the periphery, otherwise everything has to be conected directly to the CPU and you would still end up with tons of wiring. Also, some functions done in the periphery are

When I read this, my first thought was: Why do these ECUs have any deep logic at all? I would have expected all logic to be centralized at one point (or in a few points, but with each domain localized to one of them), and everything at the
