Birth of 86-DOS – By Nemanja Trifunovic

news.ycombinator.com Nemanja Trifunovic 2025-10-29 15:48:08

Forty-five years ago, in April 1980, a young employee at Seattle Computer Products began developing a small disk operating system for the new Intel 8086-based board. Against all odds, this modest project evolved into software that would power the PC industry for over a decade: Microsoft’s MS-DOS. This is a story about development of 86-DOS, better known by its code name QDOS before it was sold to Microsoft. The two main sources I used are Tim Paterson's blogs from 2007 and Vintage Computer Fed

Worried about Microplastics? This is the Best Way to Avoid Them in 8 Common Foods

Microplastics are all around us all the time. From kitchen tools to food storage, microplastics have infected our world. This means that each day, you're probably ingesting thousands of tiny plastic particles without even realizing it. Studies estimate the average person consumes between 39,000 and 52,000 microplastic particles annually through food and beverages alone -- and when airborne particles are included, that number can climb as high as 120,000.
