I would absolutely prefer to not have to individually tag photos with high-level tags, but my limited search of desktop programs didn't surface any that were capable of machine vis…

I'll check that out, thanks! I have an entry level DSLR (18MP) so I was hesitant to Google Photos due to the compression, but the features look great. I didn't realize the machine …

I'm looking for a program to catalog my midsize photo collection (about 25K photos spanning the last decade). I'm at the point where I have so many photos that I'm starting to lose…

Seems like it's documented here that there's a difference in referral bonus between the Basic and Pro accounts ( https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/200 ). Maybe you had earned 6.5GB i…

I have limited experience compared to many people on here, but 30% for a seed round seems higher than average. It might make more sense to go straight to a series A where you will …

Why is a twitter something a programmer needs to do?

No worries, just hope some of it helped. Regarding teaching yourself programming, that's always a good idea. There are enough people who get programming jobs out of college with un…

The accepted answer on this post has quite a bit of information: http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/121653/create... I was interested in this too at one point in time a…

You may be in a little bit of a tough spot trying to get into the big tech companies with that GPA but I still think there are plenty of options when you start to look at smaller c…

I would wait it out and look for a true software engineer position somewhere else. With a BS from a top school, startup and management experience under your belt you should be a so…

After the initial package with the standard vesting schedule, everything else is flexible and at the discretion of management (almost always the C-suite and Board of Directors). Yo…

I'm guessing it's because of the hipster culture that prioritizes natural ingredients and healthy choices. Either that, or it's cheaper than more famous brands.

Slack, and even good old-fashioned email, are pretty helpful for quick shares. If you're looking for something more persistent, there's a lack of great solutions at the moment.

A lot of it is for historical reasons, CS basically developed as the intersection of 2 disciplines - EE and math. Back when computers were large electrical behemoths they took a to…

I think it's mostly because real data science for deep insights or research-type work is actually difficult. The term "data scientist" has been watered down recently, it used to be…

I think they'll IPO. Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon are already way invested in their own cloud storage platforms to change their infrastructure and nobody else has the cash.

What a troll...

I don't have time to actively trade so I settled to buy shares in an actively managed mutual fund. I did the same research on the portfolio of the fund as I would have done on indi…

I don't think being at a startup is what I would consider "financial security". There's still 2 years until the stock vests, and even then it may be worth less than if OP had left …

This. Trends change so fast that even if you write the best book of it's kind it may be irrelevant in the next year. Talk about why this paradigm is fundamentally different. Now th…

Yikes, that's pretty low for local development work. If you were mostly doing remote access to a more powerful development server that might work but for doing anything more seriou…

It also depends on what part of the country you're looking at. If you're in the SF Bay Area 150k+ within range of entry level jobs for software grads. If you're in the Midwest or E…

I was just about to say the same thing but you beat me to it. :) I think the choice of language is much less important than what you're doing. Even a "non-sexy" (but incredibly imp…

It depends on the type of company you're talking with. In my experience the recruiters at large, established companies will be very professional and positive - they're looking to m…
