They literally aren't unique at all. Those services are offered by plenty of competitors.

It's amazingly good at moderating user content to flag for moderator review. Existing text analysis completely falls down beyond keyword filtering tbh.

It's really good at sentiment analysis. Which is great for things like user reviews. The Amazon ai notes on products are actually brilliant at summarizing the pros and cons of a product. I work for a holiday let company and we experimented with using it to find customers we need to follow up with and the results were amazing.

It smashes other automated translating services as well.

I use it a lot as a programmer to very quickly learn new topics. Also as an interactive docs that you can ask follow up questions to. I can pick up a new language as I go much faster than with traditional resources.

It's honestly a complete game changer.

I'm guessing they have limited resources for direct intervention so use this to flag up people who have the most risk factors.

It doesn't sound like this is people asking for help but more trying to predict who might need it.

after an investigation by The Fuller Project and The Markup found the department’s algorithm prioritized White, male veterans. It also gave preference to veterans who are “divorced and male” and “widowed and male” but not to any group of female veterans.

It shouldn't favour anyone. It should treat each person as an individual and figure out what they need based on their characteristics. If it's been designed to only work well for white men it's been designed poorly.

That's not sarcasm and your delivery doesn't even make sense.

You don't know who he is because he's not rapping? Is that the joke you were going for?

The who like that is usually used when someone completely unheard of is referred to as if you should know who they are.

Tony Hinchcliffe is the comedian who made the "jokes".

Bad Bunny is speaking out against him.

I get your point. But it's not like trump is going to side against Israel. Someone would have to be pretty stupid to vote for trump instead based on this issue.

This is unfortunately just America's official stance from all sides.

The observant will have noticed one of these early uses of mother-board are in conjunction with baby-board, and not today's common daughterboard. A mother-baby relationship seems more appropriate in this context than mother-daughter.

So daughter boards were earlier referred to as baby boards. Mother to baby seems a more obvious link than farther.

It has always had structs. They are often used for interop but can be used to avoid allocations and they are memory safe out the box, which nice.

Both languages are really great in my opinion. But very different use cases generally.

The reason is the vast majority of places use c# to avoid this stuff. So performance is often not the first priority

The complexity it adds takes away from the readability and maintainability. Which is often the priority.

But in a hot path where you need optimization these are a good send as previously you had to use raw pointers and completely side step all the safety of the language.

I would say 90% of c# developers will never touch these. It's more for library and framework writers.

I believe most of these features are driven by what the Microsoft Devs need to write asp.net and EF.

It's 100% not a borrow checker because c# doesn't have borrowing. It's just static analysis to ensure memory safety. But the author acknowledges that.

It's just checking the scopes the variables are defined in in the first example.
