If you use the double-tap style, set it to show the full keyset. You’ll need that by level 100.

Hmm, I use the double tab but only half of it, to allow for more space.

It’s just if you use it for your main combat abilities. If you use it for extras you’ll be fine and could even likely not having it showing all the time at all. I’ve been keeping mine on full display all the time and after this discussion I think I’ll turn it default-invisible.

Do you have a possible layout like this to share?

I kinda messed up my config and had to recreate it from memory and haven’t really had a chance to test it with all jobs yet, but I can show off the general idea. Don’t think too much about the utility buttons, e.g. the hunting log is just there because I’ve been leveling a job from level 1 (archer!), that’ll be replaced with the compass when that’s relevant, etc. The utility buttons are actually on set 8, I’m just too lazy to switch to it.

Top layers

SMN

(sleep and physick are just there because I have room left over)

WAR

DRK

Lower layers

This is the same as what I’ve copied to the lower two button bars, in a left-top-bottom-right order.

It looks a bit better without the wxhb on:

There are some things I figure I should change, e.g. make surecast and arm’s length be in the same position.

But the similarities generally work: all the healers and the two casters with raise I can do L2>R2 down up to do a swiftcast+raise, the motion is always the same.

Sometimes I find stuff that could be more systematic, like moving surecast Arm’s length, and mess up my muscle memory for a while. But I think the general rule should be to make some rules that make intuitive sense to you, and try to follow those. You’ll get it wrong from time to time, either not following a rule, or discovering that the rule was a bad idea.

Having had a look at the archived version linked below, it seems pretty clear that it’s entirely hogwash:

• The referenced init system replacement is called “rye-init”
• The wiki does not have anything on “rye-init” or even just rye
• The only hit on a package search for rye is rye, the precursor to uv
• I find no general search hits for rye-init, except references to the rye mentioned above (as in rye init), and some hits for this article and forum posts with people confused about it.

yeah, matte in Norwegian. Same as the word for a mat (ei matte).

The Commission chose this route to avoid its proposals being vetoed by Slovakia and Hungary, whose governments have opposed the ban. Sanctions would be the strongest legal basis for banning Russian gas, but require unanimous approval from all EU countries.

It’s good that they found a way around those fifth columns!

It’s helpful on other jobs too. If you’re targeting adds in a fight, for example. I’d say it’s especially helpful for tanks, SMN, and RDM. As RDM I’m often helping to raise people and not targeting the boss.

And on controller you can use soft-targeting if you need to target your team. Up/down on the D-pad but don’t press select, just use the ability, and you’ll automatically be on your previous target afterwards.

Yeah, spell effects are full for myself and minimal for everyone else. I’ll give it a try to just turn everyone else’s off.

Depending on the roles you play, you may want to stick to minimal for your party, since there are some party effects that are nice to be able to see. And I think no matter which role you play it’s nice to be able to see stuff like healer circles.

I need to dig into macros more, just difficult with limited buttons. I have a bunch (mainly social) on my other bars.

Macros are generally not recommended for combat purposes, as you’ll get timing issues and registration issues. The one exception is Holmgang, where it’s useful to have a very stupid-looking macro to target oneself so it doesn’t fall off early.

it’s all controller based.

Controller shouldn’t be an issue here. Some statements and recommendations:

1. All the combat jobs I’ve tried so far need at most two full controller keysets, as in, only R1+triangle and R1+circle really need to be job-specific. R1+X just holds some low-lever healer keysets for me, since healers have kind of weird upgrade paths that turns your default keyset useless in low-level duties.
2. That means that you can pick which you prefer of the double-tap style and the R2>L2 style and
   • use the one-trigger and whatever option you prefer for your job actions, and
   • use the remaining third option for some common things across jobs, like sprint, LB, teleport, etc.
3. If you use the double-tap style, set it to show the full keyset. You’ll need that by level 100.
4. If you use the R2>L2 style, you may want to add some hotbars with the otherwise invisible buttons, but you don’t need to keep the R2>R2 stuff always visible.
5. Make some system that makes sense to you and arrange the buttons that way. E.g:
   • Keep the abilities you want to be able to use on the move on the opposite side of the controller as the stick you use to move. Having to take your thumb off the stick to cast and then get moving again, or reaching with the other hand, is clunky.
   • Role actions should be on the same spot for all roles, and some similar actions like forward dash, a “use once at start of duty” ability (tank stance, kardia, summon), zero-cast-time ranged attack, etc.
   • I generally also keep single-target actions on R2, and AOEs and defensives on L2
   • I prefer the R2>L2 style, and I have continuations for some jobs “under” the main buttons, so I can keep e.g. R2 down, press triangle, add L2, press triangle again, and release L2. That generally works for DPS and tanks where you want to keep the attack GCDs easily available for your Always Be Casting.
   • For healers I generally put the OGCD heals on the top level and the infallible GCD heals at the sub-level. This means that the OGCDs are almost always visible, and I have to go through them to get at the GCD heals, as in, it’s less pressing to use the free heals. For the healers I also generally put the attacks on R2 and heals on L2, as in hopefully I can Always Be Casting from R2, and intermittently weave a free heal from L2.

Finally, a lot of it really comes down to just personal experience, both with the job, the fights, and with the game. You’ll internalize the timing more, and you can train yourself towards just glancing at the timers. And if you pick up more jobs and organize abilities according to some pattern, your muscle memory will mostly keep working.

I think if someone’s curious about that they might be in the market for something more like just, as in, here’s an example for running recipes with uv or use [script($INTERPRETER)].

No, but a bad MS/Windows decision is often a catalyst. I came over to Linux from Windows ME. :)

It’s generally conspicuous consumption, where the main point is to flaunt wealth.

Functional aspects like how well an engine runs or a clock displays time are part of that, as poorly functioning but expensive-looking stuff is generally derided, but you also can get great-working stuff that doesn’t look flashy.

It’s actually a collection of four books, which I think these days are sold in sets of two.

It’s got some fun stuff, like an author who’s convinced of his own infallibility, and fantasy-like vocabulary, except none of the words are really made up, it’s just applications of somewhat obscure latin and greek words. I’d also kind of encourage going into it blind, since there are some bits of it that are more fun to figure out as you go along.

Bonus for /c/finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world players: it has Ascians.

Yeah, I can imagine it’s kind of in the Lovecraft category, as in, clearly influential, but, uhhh, yikes.

Kind of the inverse, but you may enjoy Gene Wolfe’s book of the new sun, and the Numenera TTRPG.

I guess Vance’s Dying Earth series, that inspired how spells work in D&D, also would fit there, though I’m not personally familiar

I escaped reddit for this?

The O is for the kind of whooshing sound

I’ve heard of the year of Linux on the desktop, but I’ve never really heard of the year of BSD on the desktop. Apart from OSX, maybe.

I guess this is the kind of stuff POSIX could’ve helped with, but it seems to be busy mandating buggy behaviour.

Yeah, and Android has had some 16 years of “optimize later”. I have some very very limited experience with writing mobile apps and while I found it to be a PITA, there is clearly a lot of thought given to how to not eat all the battery and die in the ecosystem there. I would expect that kind of work to also be done at the JVM level.

If Windows Mobile had succeeded, C# likely would’ve been lower as well, just because there’d be more incentive to make a battery charge last longer.

Is there a lot of computation-intensive code being written in pure Python? My impression was that the numpy/pandas/polars etc kind of stuff was powered by languages like fortran, rust and c++.

And it powers a lot of phones. People generally don’t like it when their phone needs to charge all the freaking time.

And battery costs, including charging time, for a lot of devices. Users generally aren’t happy with devices that run out of juice all the time.
