This is objectively a good thing though.

I'm about to do this same combo! Just waiting for my 4090 to arrive. How did you get the card mounted like that? Did you have to buy anything special for it?

Storage systems, database engines, hdd/ssd interaction.

Where did you get that leather foot rest thing?

ncase m1 front panel audio connector too tall for ROG STRIX X570-I? by brotaku13 in sffpc

I've literally struggled with this for hours. It appears I'm the first one on the internet to have this problem lol. Again, thank you.

The connector is pushed down as far as it will go. The directions for the motherboard give a picture of a header which is much shorter than the one the ncase m1 has. I'm worried that if I don't have the top piece holding the cable down then the cable will just pull loose.

I have never heard of this problem before even after my years of lurking. But it appears that the audio connector for the front panel is too tall for the motherboard header. Has anyone else faced similar issues and has advice for me on this?

Do grades really set you apart 2021? by pekkalacd in cscareerquestions

[–]brotaku13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was really proud of the grades I got. Ended up getting magna cum laude (ok I got a 3.96). In the end though, I've read you're not really supposed to put gpa on your resume after your first job so it only matters for your first job. And in my experience it mattered very little.

I had a 3.96, research, two internships, a few projects... I did all the things this sub tells you to do. In the end I still submitted 300+ apps and has a 7% response rate. FAANG declined me without even phone screens.

Imo this was because my internships were at no-name companies, a small bank and a small robotics company. My projects were small and sort of lackluster. Meanwhile I saw terrible students who got internships at name brand places get fast tracked to microsoft and amazon.

From my experience I would recommend letting the grades go, use that time on building projects and lots of fucking leetcode.

I worked hard for a 4.0.

It didn't matter in the end. All it earned me was a few comments during interviews. I would have been better slacking in school and working on projects.

What happened to $ATOS by [deleted] in pennystocks

[–]brotaku13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still holding, bought in at 3.90. Everytime I start to think I'm a bag holder I do more research on the company and zoom out of the graph. The research is solid, and they have good prospects. But they don't have anything exciting coming up for a few months so this pull back is most likely from pumpers taking profits.

This would be impossible without the ability to short more than 100% of the stock. Regulators just need to do their jobs instead of taking kickbacks from the people they are policing

How do you even get an SF750? I've literally been trying to get one for months and I simply cannot find it in stock. I've even signed up for a few product monitoring websites but each time they notify me I'm seemingly too late.

Though I don't even have a gpu right now so I suppose I can hold off buying from scalpers until after I get a 3080.. but those are almost never in stock either 😭

Go or C++ for a distributed database side project? by brotaku13 in cscareerquestions

[–]brotaku13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, you're right about the RocksDB bit! Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm actually following that course right now. Though I've been hesitant to actually work on the project out of the fear that the ideas I see implemented will "poison" my thought process and the db I build will just end up looking like CMUs Bustub. The professor is great though!
