How to GPG as a Scala OSS Maintainer

tl;dr Generate a GPG key pair (exercising appropriate paranoia). Send it to key servers. Create a Keybase account with the public part of that key. Use your keypair to sign git tags and SBT artifacts.

GPG is probably one of the least understood day-to-day pieces of software in the modern developer's toolshed. It's certainly the least understood of the important pieces of software (literally no one cares that you can't remember grep's regex variant), and this is a testament to the mightily terrible user interface it exposes to its otherwise extremely simple functionality. It's almost like cryptographers think that part of the security comes from the fact that bad guys can't figure it out any more than the good guys can.

Anyway, GPG is important for open source in particular because of one specific feature of public/private key cryptography: signing. Any published software should be signed by the developer (or company) who published it. Ideally, consu

Reasoning about type inhabitants in Haskell

This is material to go along with a 2014 Boston Haskell talk.

We are going to look at a series of type signatures in Haskell and explore how parametricity (or lack thereof) lets us constrain what a function is allowed to do.

Let's start with a decidedly non-generic function signature. What are the possible implementations of this function which typecheck?

--
-- We implement a tiny language with three commands: Open, Close, and Get.
-- The first Get after an Open returns 1, the second Get returns 2, and so on.
--
-- Get is only valid while the state is open, and
-- Open must always be matched by a Close.
-- We enforce both restrictions via the type system.
--
-- There are two valid states: Opened and Closed.
