@saveriobran @acegikmo there's a benchmark for creativity. That means the models would compete and optimize for it. Sooner or later they*will* get from boring to okay to curious to awesome. The water flows downhill, the metrics get optimized under pressure.

@nikitonsky @pointlessone 8+3 limit on file names?
(And manual positioning/sizing of stuff)

A reminder that obnoxious, blocking cookie consent banners are not required by law but are there because tech companies had a massive tantrum at being prevented from tracking the bejesus out of you by default.. They don't need to be annoying or intrusive, companies can absolutely choose not to track, to track less, or make the consent experience easier, they choose not to 💩💩💩

@nikitonsky "Code" formatters should be doing it instead of erasing our tabular layouts for tabular data )=
Diff-friendly, my ass...

@nikitonsky dependabot made some commits and we haven't had a release for a while

Something happened around 2017 and lower-end* system vendors went "screw that, we're getting the fuck out"

@nikitonsky And compatible versioning with eaks versioning:

Wait, the *Disney* movie? :blobfoxshocked: Ah, the Aristocats....

@sigue @vindarel Just passing by, but yeah.
Artisanal #808080-on-#888888 designs with 50-weight fonts are the worst. So much talk of accessibility and then we hold something barely legible as iconic.

@reidrac You can use Stackage snapshots as cabal freezes:

In cabal.project:

import: stackage.org/lts-22.43/cabal.c

Or wget it to cabal.project.freeze

@reidrac Oh, LTS with a 9.8 just came out. Which would be... "stable, no more releases, huh. So, yeah, 9.6 would be the GHC on the desktop for the next year 😅

@reidrac Good one.

Personally I just stick to whatever the Stackage deems LTS since it has the most package coverage (by design). Typically they have LTS-3 support policy from which one can estimate lower bound for GHC majors still in play.

@reidrac there's no "tick-tock" or the lines in releases. Some major releases do stick (8.10, 9.6) and some don't.
Upgrading to a minor is usually a good thing and should take no extra maintenance effort.
