Then you're totally right. In this case, it's a poor usage of AI because we are able to tell it's slop. Odds are very high at this point that I've come across a piece of content I enjoyed that was at least partly written

> if the content is being hosted via AWS vs some non-magacorp > power being used by the data center is renewable That doesn't change anything about the content itself. AI writing is a disservice to the reader. Why should I even c

Because I would've completely avoided the article if I knew that I would be served slop. I was interested in the content, but I was immediately thrown off by the writing style, which closely resembles what I've been getting from O

These are private companies and you better believe they have a say in what they make available on their own platform. They do not have to host your game that they don’t like and that doesn’t make it censorship.

This has got to be the worst learn x in y minutes that I've ever read. Whitespaces, anyone? Every example is compacted and very hard to read. Comments should document each line instead of a huge wall of text before the function. Naming

I'm on week 2 of Functional Programming Principles in Scala, at Coursera, and so far it's been a very pleasing experience. Lectures are of very high quality, and assignements are well built. I can't talk for any other MOOC,

Most of your explanation does not translate really well outside of javascript. Where did you get that the OP is using javascript?

The problem is not with the ads themselves. What you described here screams ADWARE at me. Somehow, your grandpa got an adware installed on his machine (maybe by clicking on every ad that says "boost your computer speed by 10x!").

That's the strategy I use all the time but never won a single game (out of 10).

That's good work! However the user experience is not the best. I would rather have the chatrooms stacked on the left, instead of inside a dropdown. That way we can quickly see the available rooms. And I'd like to have a list of us

Actually, Pi day is next year on March 14th, 2015. It may also work today if you take into account only the first 2 digits after the decimal point, but it kind of defeats the purpose.

OO programming is a mess if you make a mess out of it. There is very good OO code out there, and there is also very bad code. Also, functional programming is such a mess. I think you get my point.

What's the point of writing code in a functional way to end up with something that is completely unreadable? I'd rather have code written in simple, well factored functions and classes and easy to reason about, than having to deal
