- Comment on How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree? 4 days ago:
If you are interested in software development, and willing to put in the work to actually learn strong fundamentals, I think you're going to have a clear leg up on the competition after the AI bubble in all likelihood bursts eventually. Vibe coding is hurting the signal to noise ratio in general right now, but as far as I'm aware a "live portfolio" like a website of personal projects has always been as good if not better than a resume when it comes to selling your skills in software.
Just consider whether you'll be able to tolerate doing the work when you're not going to be the one in charge of deciding what you work on.

It's somewhat made up for by there being no state income tax, but it is still among the highest sales tax rates
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button 4 days ago:
Just so you know, you can remap the button or turn it off entirely in the system settings under Accessibility
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button 4 days ago:
You can remap the button or disable it entirely, and it's the least prominent button on the controller, so I think your level of irritation would be low to none.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button 4 days ago:
You can remap it to any other button or turn it off entirely. To use your example you could use it as a second capture button if you prefer it on the right controller instead of the left one
- Comment on Is it just the norm now-a-days for grocery stores to have lots of stuff on the shelves that's past the best-by date? 4 days ago:
According to the USDA, "sell-by", "use-by", "freeze-by", and "best if used by/before" dates are all indicators of quality, not safety. Except for infant formula, nothing is required to be dated by federal regulations, and an item being past its date does not necessarily imply spoilage, just a loss of quality.
You may want to check with your state and local governments to see if there are any more specific rules that would apply in your location.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button 4 days ago:
Yeah it's situational just like the grip buttons on the pro controller, but I'm sure there's some games where it'd be nice to move the left stick press or one of the directional buttons to the other side of the controller
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button 4 days ago:
You can remap it to another button in the settings, or turn it off entirely if it's annoying
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button 4 days ago:
Was not this already known after the release of Switch 2?
yes, the "GameChat Welcome Offer" was talked about pretty extensively immediately after the launch.
Also, in System Settings → Accessibility → Button Mapping, you can literally remap the C button to be any other button on your controller, so calling it a useless button is just plain wrong

- Comment on How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy? 6 days ago:
question your assumption that you need to respond in the first place. You have no obligation to spend your energy on the "troll or functionally illiterate person" coin flip. to put it another way...
What I want is to say something that quickly quarantines the misreading comment in people's minds so the misreading doesn't infect the entire thread.
if for the sake of example we ignore the possibility that your writing actually was unclear or ambiguous, then for the misreading to "infect the entire thread", the other readers would have to have similarly poor reading comprehension, right? that or they're putting little enough effort in not to catch the original response being way off base. if that's the case, is it really that important how you are perceived?

- Comment on Square Enix says it wants generative AI to be doing 70% of its QA and debugging by the end of 2027 9 months ago:
I mean, as a branding exercise, every form of sophisticated automation is getting the "AI" label.
The article is specifically talking about generative AI. I think we need to find new terminology to describe the kind of automation that was colloquially referred to as AI before chatgpt et al. came into existence.The important distinction, I think, is that these things are still purpose-built and (mostly) explainable. When you have a bunch of nails, you design a hammer. An "AI bot" QA tester the way Booty describes in the article isn't going to be an advanced algorithm that carries out specific tests. That exists already and has for years. He's asking for something that will figure out specific tests that are worth doing when given a vague or nonexistent test plan, most likely. You need a human, or an actual AGI, for something on that level, not generative AI. And explicitly with generative AI, as pertains to Square Enix's initiative in the article, there are the typical huge risks of verifiability and hallucination. However unpleasant you may think a QA worker's job is now, I guarantee you it will be even more unpleasant when the job consists of fact-checking AI bug reports all day instead of actually doing the testing.

There's plenty of room for sophisticated automation without any need to involve AI.

Probably need to tweak the settings on whatever display you're using, or potentially consider investing in a more-modern type of panel depending on what you have now.
