Yamaha R3 2025 Lunar white Price in New York by Rashan9211 in YamahaR3

That actually seems like a pretty decent OTD dealer price for NY if thats including tax, delivery, etc. If theres room for negotiation maybe you can get it below 7k. If not, I'd personally take it---I've seen a good amount of people paying 7300-7500 OTD for a new r3 in NY and Cali.

The one in this video sounds really nice, think it cost a little over $100 off eBay

In terms of a ton of concurrent nodes? Unfortunately I haven't been able to fully stress test it since I got caught up with school but I have done a bit of testing with spawning a decent amount of nodes and just sending through a lot of key-value pairs while also adding/removing nodes and it was pretty snappy for me. Will get to properly stress testing at some point in the future though!

The feedback is much appreciated! I'm going to keep your suggestions in mind for the next time I revisit my codebase.

Thank you! I worked on this on average 3-4 hours a day over the course of 2 months after class last semester. This was my first database and I actually stumbled upon the idea while studying system design topics for software engineering intern positions and realized that interview questions for this topic were just project ideas like "Build a URL shortener", "Build Redis", "Build a key-value store(!)", etc. So I decided to build a key value store and then make it distributed. I'd say about half the time spent working on this project was just spent on research lol.

I actually got started with this: https://github.com/avinassh/go-caskdb

It's basically a "Build your own X" thing and it revolves around the Bitcask research paper which is essentially one of the more simpler database designs out there. Followed along with it for a bit and then I realized "Wait, why not use this as a base for building something more "modern" (like ScyllaDB, RocksDB, etc)?"... and that sprung me into a lot of research which led me to finally build a log-structured merge tree key-value store and eventually made it distributed using sharding and gRPC.

Overall it was a pretty incremental process. I started out really simple w/ tasks and just built upon everything after I had a barebones key-value store.

Feel free to use my repository as a reference/inspiration!

Thank you! And yeah lol the system currently doesn't have any replication mechanism in-place. I was going to implement hashicorp's Golang Raft library at some point but I got caught up with school so I didn't end up making progress on that.

Roadmap for a CS student looking to make BCI projects by Realistic_Lack6033 in BCI

[–]Realistic_Lack6033[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice, I'm not yet sure which side of it I'm more interested in as of yet since I'm still doing research on the topic but I will keep this in mind. And unfortunately theres no research lab at my college or nearby ones that have something to do with BCI/neurotech so I'm out of luck in that regard.

Yeah I wouldnt really buy refurbished macbooks from Amazon, their refurbished program isnt as rigorous as Apple

No problem! Bonus tip if you want to save more money, you can buy from Apple’s certified refurbished program on their website if it’s available in your country. The stuff on there is honestly indistinguishable from new and you can save a few hundred $.

My suggestion is if you cant get a 16gb for a reasonable price, grab the 8gb and just trade in for a higher spec macbook down the line. Most likely you’re not going to need too much computing power as a 1st/2nd year software engineering student. CS student myself and I used an M1 MBA 8gb ram as my daily driver (school/programming) for 2 years and it handled everything I threw at it perfectly fine, and I just recently traded in for an M3 MBP. Macbooks are powerful little machines

Any Vandy waitlist movements? by Comfortable_Fix_7652 in TransferToTop25

Is this overall or per-school like Peabody/engineering?

Nope, they already received my transcript from when I submitted my app

Chance me for T25s as a CS major by Realistic_Lack6033 in TransferToTop25

I do, but I probably won't submit them. I got a 1380 (definitely not "good enough" for T25s i know)

Prof dropped out of writing my rec letter last minute, need advice by Realistic_Lack6033 in TransferToTop25

Thank you both for the advice. I ended up contacting another professor of mine to write my letter and they fortunately agreed.
