The "thread names" clause was a hyperlink to an article I wrote a few years listing all of the problems with thread naming on Windows. Microsoft took the suggestions seriously and basically landed all of the features and fixes that I requested, so now when I'm profiling or debugging Chrome the threads all have nice names.

I just kinda like trolling Microsoft for not using their own thread naming API very much.

I appreciate your efforts then. It's been a while since I was doing Windows development, but I remember staring at a bunch of hex values for thread IDs and despairing.
