UNIX Operating System Demystified

Описание: In 1974, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson published "The UNIX Time-Sharing System" - a paper describing an operating system that would become the ancestor of Linux, macOS, Android, and virtually every modern computing platform. Born from a discarded PDP-7 minicomputer at Bell Labs after the ambitious Multics project was abandoned, UNIX introduced revolutionary principles: everything is a file, small programs that do one thing well, and pipes that connect simple tools into powerful workflows.

Written in C—a language Ritchie created alongside UNIX—the system became portable across hardware, spreading through universities and eventually powering everything from smartphones to supercomputers. This video explores how two researchers built a system so elegant that its core ideas still define how we write software fifty years later.
