The Unix was there in the 70's, and yet we celebrate "the same" old thing today, because its open, its available and even kids can change and compile it in its Linux incarnation. Software is constant automation and improvement, and if the things we suffer to do today, that can make someone be considered special and be well payed, will be achieved easily by children in the future, its just because of the hard work of the pioneers that suffered but persisted in the beginning. Giving your presented credentials, you should now how and why this is not exactly the same. So you know that the tech to get were we are today, despite doing almost the same as a early 2000's tool, had to overcome a lot of obstacles to become available to all platforms in a open way, with a open 3d api, where you dont need to be forced on having Windows and buy a super expensive(as it was back in the day) license a closed source software. A piece of software that has value on its own by the way.
Its good to be skeptic and bash the big man, its important to fight back, but lets respect and give them props for the things they do right.
If this whole "cloud computer" paradigm were not enough of a threat to a world of global scale control of the digital life of billions by only a few. We are constantly in danger to get back to where we were in the nineties. Just Dorothy-like hackers would'nt be able to fight back the awful world of closed source applications platform if browsers were not what they are today. Modern browser are wonderful machines, we should be glad we are seing this happening.Īlso, Google contantly are being bashed on HN, i know, who like the big man right? i think this we should thank them for pushing the envelope on a open platform, that will probably even eat the closed app platform with time. The state-of-the-art on desktop was a in-process direct rendering instead. Where you can have several framebuffers that you can render 2d, 3d and intermix them in a beautiful final output thanks to the sophisticated compositor. This is all going through IPC in a command buffer like architecture where the display lists are formed in another process. You can only say this by having no clue of the machinery involved.
