<elvishjerricco> `haskell-gi-overloading` is the most insane thing I've ever seen...
<simpson> Is "gi" the GObject introspection "library"? If so then yes, it's amazingly bad in so many ways.
<elvishjerricco> Well, aside from that. The `haskell-gi-overloading` package is a package with two versions: 1.0 and 0.0. Its sole purpose is that you pick one of these two versions to configure a variety of other packages with certain overloading behavior.
<elvishjerricco> The package version is being treated as a bool and as a configuration flag. Complete nonsense
<joepie91> lolwat?

<gchristensen> someone should do a case study in bad design on https://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/c/LAPTOPS?menu-id=Laptops_2-in-1s
<__monty__> gchristensen: Doesn't look much worse than other 2-in-1s?
<gchristensen> the website I mean
<__monty__> Ah, then I immediately agree.
<gchristensen> I'm a bit grumpy from post-travel timezone upsets, but I entered this page confused and am leaving even more confused

* samueldr thinks A/B testing may show engagement going through the roof with such a design
<samueldr> or in other words: confused people clicking on everything
<gchristensen> :)
<gchristensen> what is that thing about useful metrics always become a useless goal?
<samueldr> I don't believe I know the quote :/
<samueldr> though it describes how I think UX dev is made online
<gchristensen> I can't find it
<gchristensen> but the moment a useful metric is identified people start engineering towards making that metric look good, which then makes the metric useless
<samueldr> numbers of videos played :: autoplay option always turning back on
matthewbauer has joined #nixos-chat
<hodapp> we should find a way to measure how useful a metric is and then focus on making metrics more useful
<hodapp> duh
<hodapp> gchristensen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law ?
<gchristensen> yepe

<ldlework> I saw Saturn last night, it was beautiful
<samueldr> that's a niche product
<joepie91> [16:42] <gchristensen> I'm a bit grumpy from post-travel timezone upsets, but I entered this page confused and am leaving even more confused
<joepie91> I read this as "I'm a bit grumpy post my time-travel upsets"

<samueldr> :set spell " is really helpful when writing doc
<samueldr> hm, apparently instalalation is good?
* samueldr doubts
pie_ is now known as ^pie_^
<infinisil> samueldr: Whoa, I didn't know about that
<infinisil> It marks instalalation as red for me
<samueldr> something must be broken on my end :/
<samueldr> well, maybe it's vim's support for XML and/or docbook
<samueldr> that somehow marks text as something else
