If the code is obvious crap, it doesn’t matter if AI was involved. If the code is perfectly obviously fine, it doesn’t (directly) matter if AI was involved.

Determining quantity of code is very difficult and expensive. It is often that issues with code don't surface until certain patterns of usage.

This is why judging code quality by judging the author's track record, or the track record of their tools, is very valuable.

If you're vibe coding anything non trivial, your code is gonna be terrible. There's no sugar coating it. There's a wealth of examples on the internet that prove it. It's a waste of time spending any effort evaluating it when we have this evidence, and especially when they didn't spend reasonable effort shipping the code.

    The alternative most people probably use is iterative loops, like for loops and while loops and the like, with a mutable variable somewhere. I don't love it, personally.

    I guess the other potential alternative is doing the iteration recursively, but I doubt that's what most people think of as an alternative to reduce.

    I'm surprised that you had trouble port forwarding on airvpn. My understanding is mullvad doesn't allow port forwarding, and Proton allows it but it's extremely finicky and you have to constantly poll for it with some script (or maybe if you use their official client then you don't need that, but I didn't). Port forwarding was, why I went with airvpn.

    Also, I am not convinced that the intenret's ideal format is a markup language. I believe there is great value in scripting. The problem is that browsers gave too much power to the websites and their remote servers over the clients computer, way beyond what is reasonable for scripting of internet documents. We need browsers whose scripting capabilities are only relevant for internet documents, not entire arbitrary applications.

    Unfortunately, while HTML is more capable than a non Html-seasoned developer assumes, it is still showing that it is not enough. A lot of rough edges, a lot of what feels like incomplete or one-off features, rather than something that feels well planned and complete.

    And I doubt this will change. Chrome is heavily invested in keeping a reliance on Javascript, and particularly a browser engine that is very difficult to implement.

    Unpopular opinion: I don't think this is worth the screen real estate it takes up, even if small. It's just too specific of a feature that does not inherently need changing on the fly.

    You should configure your light / dark mode preferences in your OS and browser, and sites can just pick them up from there. Changing them on the fly is unnecessary.

    And for websites, you should probably just use those dark mode extensions anyways if that's your preference. Even if a site doesn't support it, you'll get most of the way there.

    It really saddens me to see so many evil people live long happy lives, then see victims of abuse and struggle like her die so young 😔. I truly wish there's an afterlife to bring us justice.

    Gaming on Wayland, or more specifically sway WM, broke for me when updating to nvidia drivers version 580.

    Reverting to 570 fixed the problem.

    Card: Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti

    What exactly happened: some games wouldn't launch at all (overwatch 2) while others had severe performance issues (Resident evil 5).

    Those were the only two games I tried. Both ran through steam and Proton GE version 10.

    Though I didn't test extensively, both games seemed to work fine on Xorg with nvidia drivers 580. So this confirms it's only problematic for Wayland.
