I think it's funny how Nat capitalizes "xBox". The official capitalization that was finally settled on was "Xbox". It annoys the marketing people to no end when people capitalize it wrong. I always thought xBox looked cooler.

Fun inside MS history tid-bit: The reason x64 is called AMD64 and not x86-64 or x64 is almost entirely Dave Cutler's[1] doing. He, being constantly annoyed with Intel, used "AMD64" in the Windows NT source tree. It was used in version info

The title of the post & the underlying SO article discuss URLs. A data: URI is not a URL, but a URI. People get confused about this all the time, but a URI is not necessarily a URL. A URL is always a URI. A URN is also a URI and might b

This is bunk. The true 10x developers of the world are simply wired differently than normal. It is not about environment, at all. It is about intellect and drive. FWIW, I use Dave Cutler as my prototypical 10X developer.

Great idea. I may steal it. I do office hours 'for free' now, but this might add a nice charitable twist... Thanks.

And so the fragmentation of mobile platforms accelerates along the services axis. [1] Amazon attempts to ease the pain by offering "interface parity" with the Google Maps API, but there are significant functional differences. We are going t

A very small percentage of Windows is software-only; something like 10%. And sales to consumers represents a smallish fraction of revenue & profits compared to enterprise sales. So the lower price for upgrades will not have a huge impac

Completely agree on Samsung's proven incompetence in platform software. But that doesn't mean they won't try again.

If I were Samsung, and I read this, I'd dump or fork Android in a heartbeat. Google is clearly just peeing in the pool with Android. Their goal is to disrupt the industry by sucking margins out. From their perspective it makes sense. It may
