> Nobody forces beginners to write macros. Beginners are only macros _users_. With time and experience, the need for macros emerges by itself, then learning them is a natural part of the process. But even then, nobody is forced to write any.

I think one of the problems with this mindset is, you are only assuming the case with you have full control on the code-base e.g. writing thing from scratch so that you can only use those features in rust that you feel comfortable with, in other cases, you have little control on what others use.

Is it by any chance that it will work with docker-nividia? I.e. support accessing the host's GPU insider the nested containers?
first of all, I don't think "most inappropriate languages for frontend development" is a thing, it is just a new way to do web dev that is different to what you used to be doing with. If you don't think it is an approach that you prefer/can accept, you can just move on continue with whatever you like. You should learn from the people who built Brython, they don't like the way how the current web is being built - hence they continue doing what they believe its right, BUT wihtout putting shit on other's people's work.
it is a very useful project and just done at the right balanced - simplicity and self-contained. But, I use an android phone :(
Re:TileDB 2.0 and the Future of Data Science on Thursday May 07, 2020 @12:59PM (#23105249)
Stavros thanks for the explanation, how does TileDB avoid downloading the entire matrix and do the slicing (locally)? Are we achieving this by breaking down a big matrix to a set of smaller ones? so that you only down the subset of that the current query need? If this is the case, what is the current measure we have to avoid mismatch on metadata (e.g. some error while uploading them to S3) that links them together? thanks
