I'm reading a 1979 NASA paper titled "State of the art survey of technologies applicable to NASA's aeronautics, avionics and controls program" and I think there's some neat stuff in there.

Specifically, section 4.2 talks about UI design for glass cockpits and covers some problems that are still (more?) relevant today, such as

• problems with deep menu hierarchies
• how to store large databases and quickly read them (second place I've seen bubble memory mentioned)
• compensating for lack of tactile feedback on touch screens (heh heh)

Also present is what I think is a mockup for a map UI, which seem pretty close to what we see in 2020-era mapping applications

It somehow seems right that the only github organization I'm that requires 2FA would be e30e

whee

oh shit, coronavirus wants to follow me

I really like how the Qi wireless charging logo looks like a renderer tried to render two circles and goofed

(at large sizes you can make out the "qi", but scale it down to low-density displays and it really just starts looking more and more like a glitch)
