The other day, I was wondering why Clojure fits my brain so well. I think I was relaxing on my old couch, drinking cheap beer, eating a gas station pastry, and drawing doodles on a stack of overdue bills I forgot to pay. Little did I realize, these things are all connected.

I have a hypothesis that people choose programming languages based on their personality. For the purposes of this write-up, I’ll use the well-known distinction between type A and type B people. This may be pop psychology stuff, but it’s convenient for my point so in the spirit of American politics I will treat it as fact.

Type A vs Type B

Type A people are very organized, competitive, punctual, and like to plan ahead. When I was a kid, these were the ones who had perfect grades, competed in track or swimming, and on top of that they were nice people so I couldn't even hate the fuckers. Type B people, on the other hand, are laid back and like to do things spontaneously. Like The Dude from The Big Lebowski, they are comfortable with

UEFI SecureBoot on ArchLinux

For KVM and Laptop

Rationale

I want full control what boots the computer to avoid the so called evil maid attack. That requires setting SecureBoot with only my own keys.

Intro

A sample batch file running a scala script with process to call external commands.

The same can be done for *nix systems.

	## Java
	sudo apt-get update
	sudo apt-get install default-jdk

	## Scala
	sudo apt-get remove scala-library scala
	sudo wget http://scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.12.1.deb
	sudo dpkg -i scala-2.12.1.deb
	sudo apt-get update
	sudo apt-get install scala

	(module
	(func $addTwo (param i32 i32) (result i32)
	(i32.add
	(get_local 0)
	(get_local 1)))
	(export "addTwo" (func $addTwo)))
