Dear Time Lords: Freeze Computers In 1993
Summary
A semi-satirical blog post arguing that computers should have stopped evolving in 1993, using nostalgic examination of 1993-era hardware such as the MIPS R4000, early distributed operating systems like OSF/1 with DCE, and languages like Modula-3, Sather, and Dylan. It reflects on how the web was still niche in 1993 and contemplates how architectural choices and security concepts from that era influenced later developments, including Kerberos and the move toward cloud-based systems.
