# In order for gpg to find gpg-agent, gpg-agent must be running, and there must be an env
# variable pointing GPG to the gpg-agent socket. This little script, which must be sourced
# in your shell's init script (ie, .bash_profile, .zshrc, whatever), will either start
# gpg-agent or set up the GPG_AGENT_INFO variable if it's already running.

# Add the following to your shell init to set up gpg-agent automatically for every shell
if [ -f ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info ] && [ -n "$(pgrep gpg-agent)" ]; then

Notes for Ubuntu 21.04, getting the MX Master mouse to work.

1. Ubuntu 21.04 uses Wayland by default. These instructions only work for x.org
2. Getting Wayland to rebind mouse keys was confusing. Much easier to just use x.org and these instructions I found.

First, install Solaar to see the battery level on the taskbar

sudo apt-get install solaar

Introduction

Method overloading sucks in Scala because it detracts from your flexibility. An implicit conversion is a feature of Scala that let's the compiler look up how to convert objects between types at compile time.

Let's say I define a method with the following signature:

def doSomething( action: Action )

Somewhere else in the code I write:
