Mounting VirtualBox shared folders on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

This guide will walk you through the steps on how to setup a VirtualBox shared folder inside your Ubuntu Server guest.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that you are using the following setup:

You could still make this guide work with other setups (possibly with some modifications to the commands and whatnot).

Explaining Miles's Magic

Miles Sabin recently opened a pull request fixing the infamous SI-2712. First off, this is remarkable and, if merged, will make everyone's life enormously easier. This is a bug that a lot of people hit often without even realizing it, and they just assume that either they did something wrong or the compiler is broken in some weird way. It is especially common for users of scalaz or cats.

But that's not what I wanted to write about. What I want to write about is the exact semantics of Miles's fix, because it does impose some very specific assumptions about the way that type constructors work, and understanding those assumptions is the key to getting the most of it his fix.

For starters, here is the sort of thing that SI-2712 affects:

def foo[F[_], A](fa: F[A]): String = fa.toString

Recursively merging dictionaries with boltons.iterutils.remap. Useful for @hynek's configs. https://twitter.com/hynek/status/696720593002041345
"""
This is an extension of the technique first detailed here:
http://sedimental.org/remap.html#add_common_keys
In short, it calls remap on each container, back to front, using the accumulating
previous values as the default for the current iteration.

Scala macro to convert between a case class instance and a Map of constructor parameters. Developed by Jonathan Chow (see http://blog.echo.sh/post/65955606729/exploring-scala-macros-map-to-case-class-conversion for description and usage). This version simply updates Jonathan's code to Scala 2.11.2
import scala.language.experimental.macros
import scala.reflect.macros.blackbox.Context
trait Mappable[T] {
def toMap(t: T): Map[String, Any]
def fromMap(map: Map[String, Any]): T
}
