Honestly, the only example of a "science fiction" ship that comes to mind is the Red October and its funny drive system.

I've had an idea for a sailpunk setting with portals/warp points in certain locations at the ocean surface of every planet with surface liquids, so that seafaring is all that is needed to reach the stars.
Other than that, not aware of much in the way of naval-oriented sci-fi, other than the odd "change history by going back to WWII with modern technology" type time travel story, which I've seen several instances of.

Yeah. Also I am reading "New York 2140" by Kim Stanley Robinson right now, which also has some small watery content. But really, it seems like really few can imagine a future on the oceans.

Gears of War had some kickass ship on its starting level. I think it was the third game in the series. Final Fantasy also had what appeared to be ships, but I'm not too sure.

The swiss railway company is having trouble with their data counters. Various counters for various datapoints from various suppliers come with their own reporting interfaces and protocols, so the data ends up disasociated, spread around and compartmentalised. I can sympathize with that problem.
So now they decided to do something about it and build their own reporting system. It'll be a huge challenge specifying data structures that normalise various aspects of all these different devices, implementing the necessary adapters for all their different protocols and standards, and keeping the whole thing up to date with the specification of a dozen device suppliers in order to stay compatible in the future.
So of course they decided to start the project by ordering three different frontend-only proof of concepts for the managment and report generation interface. The one they like the best will win the whole contract. Seriously, Suits! :facepalm:

What is the problem? Simply use microservices there.... microservices solve all problems. :rofl:
Well, seriously: Such a problem sounds like the best use case for microservices.
Just had my first computer tomography today. A big thank you to all people who develop such machines. :thumbup:

Quite so, I just have my doubts that the guys delivering the most flashy frontend will be the best suited for that job :lol:

The real question is "can it be manufactured with photolithography?", to which the answer is almost certainly "no".
Creating something like that as a one-off in a lab is one thing. Being able to zap billions upon billions onto a silicon wafer quickly and cheaply is something else.

Aren't there problems with quantum tuneling when transistors are placed too close together? It's impressive that it's only the size of an atom, but could you actually put them any closer to each other than the transistors we already have?

We don't get many racehorses in here?
At these prices, I'm not surprised!
