Why in the world is the localization function called ‘_e()’ ???
Does anyone know? Why in the world didn’t they go with something as ‘localize’ or ‘translate’ ?
It’s bothering me way more than it should but it’s like seeing a lemon and hearing people call it potato... why? D:

Why the fuck does Arduino use C++ macros for min, max, abs, etc. ???????
---
For those who don't know what a macro is, basic example:
#define abs(x) (x > 0 ? x : -(x))
Which looks like a function, but instead abs() will be replaced by the expression and all x will be replaced literally with what you pass to abs
So
abs(i++)
would evaluate to
(i++ > 0 ? i++ : -(i++))
which would call i++ twice
---
I guess I will have to double check every built in function and rewrite it if it's a macro -_-. Not taking any chances. Btw all Arduino functions are in one big file, so now I have to pollute my code with namespaces.
Macros can be great but what the fuck.

From the guy who wrote all the Programming Microsoft books and the Annotated Turing book. Comes this book.
This book is great for beginners great for people who don’t know a lot about software and how computers work, simple read. I like it because it also gives a different prospective, beginning at Morse code and works up from there all the way up to high level languages.
The book gives snippets of code to discuss it not really a tutorial book. It’s a different type of book that all people could understand.
Good read

Is that a message describing windows altogether, or just the copying routines... Can't figure that one out.
