Sorry, going to keep typing x64. Unlike the article's recommendation of x86, literally everyone knows exactly what it means at all times.



If someone tells me x86, I am certainly thinking 32-bit protected mode not 64-bit long mode... Granted I'm in the weird space where I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to keep me up-to-date with idiomatic naming conventions.


You mean AMD64?
