2025-08-26 09:25:45 +0200 <jreicher> lortabac: I'm not familiar with that but looking at the code I think it carries around the number as a surd?

2025-08-26 09:23:34 +0200 <lortabac> but under the hood it probably still does n ** (1 / m)
2025-08-26 09:22:57 +0200 <lortabac> numeric-prelude has a class with a 'root' method

2025-08-26 09:15:55 +0200 <Axman6> we have sqrt, wondering if there's anything more direct like that
2025-08-26 09:15:13 +0200 <jreicher> Axman6: what do you mean by "better"?

2025-08-26 08:59:20 +0200 <Axman6> This feels like an obvious question, but is there a better way to compute the cube root of a number than n**(1/3)?

2025-08-26 08:32:01 +0200 <haskellbridge> <maerwald> geekosaur: Yeah, I'm super conservative with bumping the recommended version of cabal, since I don't have high confidence about release quality and regression testing. But that also means that sometimes people have to challenge the recommendations. That's good.
