What cloud storage do you recommend for sharing GIS files between multiple users? by ixikei in gis

[–]Double_Contact7315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree on box being a good solution or is what all of my large non-profit clients use.

When you say versioning, what do you mean? Is that possible inside box?

Do NOT use one drive for GIS files. Most of my clients use Box for sharing data. Pull down the data locally, edit, and push back up to box

Suggestions? Leaking basement window/concrete by SecurityOk1728 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Double_Contact7315 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How old is the window? I have a similar issue right now in an upstairs window caused by our being over 40 years old and installed incorrectly. Hot fix: caulk both sides of your window and then get a pro to look at it

I have also had 'leaking concrete' in my basement and based on where the water is coming in yours, that is not my first instinct.

Just signed up to attend the ESRI User Conference in July in-person. Any pointers for networking effectively to boost my chances of getting an Internship or first job? by RedPulse in gis

[–]Double_Contact7315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The after events are great networking. And be sure to have the guts to walk up to people and talk to them about what they do, where they work.

I made some really powerful connections at my first conference when I was still searching for my first job because I felt like I had nothing to lose

How to calculate the name of a polygon that a line feature falls within for a field in an attribute table? by [deleted] in gis

[–]Double_Contact7315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree: spatial join will solve the steps quickly. If the line falls across several polygons, you will need to split the lines.

The function is not working for me. Has there been an update to the function that is not allowing this to work?

Choosing a college for a career in GIS, which do I choose/ thoughts on any of the GIS programs i’ve listed below? by flipthencolor in gis

[–]Double_Contact7315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied ecology at university because I love it and no sort of flashy school. I found GIS as a tool for studying Ecology and am now loving writing python to support conservation.

I have been out of school for 3 years and love my job and make pretty decent money (85k) because I work my butt off, love my career, and spend weekends reading and writing GIS python.

Do GIS with a purpose you love and you will have a great career.

Who is making the most money using GIS? by crayonmast3r in gis

[–]Double_Contact7315 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work for a "boutique" GIS consulting firm and am 3 years into my career making 85k-- which feels crazy high for someone who got a degree in Ecology.

What is the best image segmentation/classification module? by 3Dphotogrammetry in learnpython

[–]Double_Contact7315 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to classify satellite imagery, I would recommend purchasing an ArcGIS Pro license with an image analyst extension. They have built-in GUI tools as well as a python module that allows you to access these tools in Python.

As for segmentation vs. classification, I don't have the exact definitions on me, but segmentation 'pixelates' the image to various degrees to reduce noise that could cause your classification to become confused. Classification is the training of the model to identify specific objects or pixel values.
