Raspberry Pi 400: the $70 desktop PC

Raspberry Pi has always been a PC company. Inspired by the home computers of the 1980s, our mission is to put affordable, high-performance, programmable computers into the hands of people all over the world. And inspired by these classic PCs, here is Raspberry Pi 400: a complete personal computer, built into a compact keyboard.

Names are not type safety

Haskell programmers spend a lot of time talking about type safety. The Haskell school of program construction advocates “capturing invariants in the type system” and “making illegal states unrepresentable,” both of which sound like compelling goals, but are rather vague on the techniques used to achieve them. Almost exactly one year ago, I published Parse, Don’t Validate as an initial stab towards bridging that gap.

Extreme Debugging

There’s debugging and there’s debugging. This is a story of the latter. Before we get into this jaunt I’d like to add that I’ve written this piece to mimic how we actually got to the conclusion. If you’re experienced in strange stuff you might see a faster route or use a different tool. There’s more than one way to do most of this and this was what I had at hand when I needed it.
