Let's write some code that uses the services provided by the (U)EFI (modern BIOS) environment and we gonna use Terra, as is says in their website, a counterpart to Lua. I'll assume that you know some C for Part 1.

"Terra is a low-level system programming language that is embedded in and meta-programmed by the Lua programming language". This means you can write some typed code that looks like Lua, embed some Lua code, and compile the whole thing to machine code.

To install Terra you should have a …

I've been busy looking for a new job and all the pain that comes with that, and in the meanwhile trying to make this blog nicer. One of this days I'll make a similar post to the one I made in 2013 on how to make a your own static site like this one using Pelican and Github pages but I'll just share some stuff for now.

So I found out you can customize the Markdown Pelican understands by configuring Python Markdown, you can enable and configure …

Humans, and lot's of other animals, even single cell organisms and plants, can change their environment and make it better. This word has been ruined by the european empires but, a single cell, a group of cells, plants and animals do colonize their environment …

Maybe I should keep a record of things I have been looking as I try to not go insane looking for a new job, so, here we go:

Can say I did edited the Portuguese Wikipedia article and added another paragraph. I also create a new Github repo to follow two tutorials I want to go through before I sit down to read a whole book or something.

Bonus: Some more practice with Flak and SqlAlchemy.

O buraco na Camada de Ozônio da atmosfera terrestre levou décadas para reduzir e teve seu mínimo em 2019¹ (ver na imagem abaixo). Isso só aconteceu porque houve um esforço global e rápido para que não se fizesse mais o uso de CFCs. Apesar do buraco ter voltado a crescer novamente.

O Milagre Verde (o uso das tecnologias criadas no início do século 20 para aumentar a produtividade da agricultura) só aconteceu porque a temperatura da atmosfera ainda permitia a fotossíntese e ainda chovia de forma moderada em alguns lugar do planeta, permitindo grandes safras …
